[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents got divorced when I was younger and the two of them haven’t gotten along since. I have a son that’s turning one in April and DH and I are planning to throw him a party at our house. It will be small, just my dad, my bonus mom, brother, aunt, and DH’s parents. I thought about maybe having a small dinner on another night and include my mom so that she and my dad don’t have to interact. Other events I’ve had in the past, there’s always some drama with my mom and dad plus my dad’s family because they don’t get along with my mom either. I feel bad by leaving her out of the main party, but I figured a smaller gathering with just her would be easier on all of us and can avoid the unnecessary tension and drama. Would I be wrong to do this?[/quote]

You know it is going to hurt your mom if you invite the "bonus" mom and not your real mom!  Can you talk to your Dad and get him to be civil?  Can you talk to your mom and ask her to ignore the things that annoy her?  I'm sorry you are stuck in the middle but, don't exclude your mom!![/quote]
