[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think you are nuts.  I think the expectations for this type of thing vary by family and circumstances.

[b]It's sounds like your DH's family is like mine.  We all get together for every birthday if we possibly can.  My teens will always go to a party at their cousins' house.[/b]  (They are similarly much older than all their cousins, who are preschool to early elementary.) However, my family doesn't expect them to go to the party the cousins host for their school friends (like the PP mentioned at a place like Pump it Up). We do the family get together and the little kid party separately.

If it is at their house, I think you taking one child to the sporting event and your DH taking your 16 year old to the party is a good compromise.  If the party is at some little-kid place, I think you could let the 16 year old skip it and your husband can go represent your family.[/quote]

Actually no, this isn’t the tradition in the paternal family. Remember the other teen cousins on the husband’s side are not going to the 5 year old’s party.

The OP’s daughter is the only one.
