Hi everyone. I feel a little guilty asking for support when I usually only lurk and don't post all that often, but I'm thinking that sharing some of this with you will help me later this evening.


My exh and I take turns hosting our children's birthday parties. We have a son and a daughter.

Focus on the kids and everything will be fine. How wonderful that your SO and parents can go! And it is good that you can all be there for the kids. I think the idea of it is stressful - but bday parties are a lot of work and the time goes by fast so once you are there it will only get better!

It will be easy to focus on the kids - especially since it's at Chuckie Cheese. Now if I could just focus on my work at the office . . .

This party is the first time that almost EVERYONE has been invited to get together

I did that one year--my kids, their kids, kids from school, the new wife, the whole gamut--everything worked out well--the kids had a blast (chuckie cheese as well!!) and the adults all had civil conversations with each other.

Moon - I can sooo feel your pain when it comes to dealing with an ex.

My DS's grad party is going to be a joint thing with one of his buddies.
