[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why old people in America get stuck in nursing homes. We no longer value family. OP is upset that husband is “choosing” this party of their daughter’s game? The teenager does not want to go? My oldest son is 17 and our two youngest are 6 and 7. The 17 year old goes to the younger kids parties be it his siblings or younger family members. He does not complain. Is he happy to go? No… does he deal with it? Yes… it’s about making memories and connections. The day is not about OP’s daughter and her feelings. She can put that aside along with her enjoyment for a couple of hours. She can help out for a couple of hours. [/quote]

Why should the girl [b]martyr herself [/b]to attend a 5yr olds party with her 5yr old friends? The parents are the hosts and should do all the work. This isn’t a family gathering.[/quote]

LOL.  I think this might be what Louis CK called “top-shelf” words…[/quote]

It’s pretty clear expect her to want to go [b]bust her ass [/b]watching random kids instead of allowing a 16yr old to make up her own mind and have input.[/quote]

And… doubling down on the hyperbole.[/quote]

It's an appropriate response to the people who have decided, on their own, that this is a family party. When the OP clearly says it's a party for the friends of the 5yr old and includes the adult friends of the aunt and uncle. Therefore, not a family party at all. So why is it so important a 16 yr old attend this preschool party?[/quote]

The details that you provide in the above post have nothing to do with using terms like “martyr herself” and “bust her ass” to describe the issues faced by a teen being forced to attend her five year old cousin’s birthday party.

Worst case scenario is she’ll be bored for a couple of hours.  The horror.[/quote]
