[quote=Anonymous]As a divorced parent, I can plan any activities I want on the days I am scheduled to have my kids. I don't need to coordinate with their other parent. We're divorced for a reason. I also think setting up the expectation that both parents are at the same birthday party seems really weird and confusing to the kid. I would drop that and say "This year you're with Dad on the weekend after your birthday, so you'll have your party with him. On the years you're with me, you'll have it with me." And then, since you don't have to pay for the party, do something extra fun on the years you don't have the party, like take kid and one friend to Great Wolf Lodge or an amusement park. [/quote]
