[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What nonsense. Change the party date. Life happens. People arrange parties around work, illness, sports etc all of the time. My DD had one of her first college soccer games on DS's birthday. Away game & he was in school when I left. He & H had a guy's night. We celebrated with a special dinner the day before & a party on the weekend. NBD [/quote] Was your son 7 at the time? There’s a big difference between what we can reasonably expect of a young teen or even a tween in terms of flexibility and understanding and what we can expect of a 7 y.o. Moreover, there’s a difference between missing one kid’s birthday to celebrate another kid’s milestone, compared to missing a birthday because you put your client ahead of your family. I’d say that of a mother or father intentionally choosing to miss a birthday. [/quote]
