[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Ugh.

It seems like my husband have this disagreement every birthday (when Call of Duty is requested), every Christmas, every party. As the step, the only time I insist is when other kids are involved. And, i admit, I'm tired of it. (It's different than constantly setting limits with my own kid. I don't know if that is obvious or not)

So, I suppose I was hoping there would be more negative reponses from other parents, so I didn't have to constantly be in the position of being the uptight stepmom disagreeing with cool dad.

However, I guess the main goal is being served, no kids will see the movie unless their parents are ok with sending them to the party. I'm hoping my husband can read between the lines if there is a really low turnout.[/quote]

This isn't about the birthday party.  You and your husband have stopped communicating.  You're hoping he gets a message from third parties that you don;t feel comfortable delivering yourself.  Is there any reason you can't say to him point blank "No one has RSVPed because the movie is making them uncomfortable."  If you can't have that conversation you marriage needs counseling, or at the very least you need your own counseling.[/quote]
