[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why, if you are old enough to have fathered a 13 year old, you can't be mature enough to deal with missing your alma mater's homecoming for a year.[/quote]

I feel just the opposite. I don't think birthdays are a national holiday and I don't think as parents we have to give up everything g for our kids.

This is a situation where you can make everything work. Go out to dinner, do cake and presents on the birthday then pick a weekend for the party. No real need for both parents to be there but if that's what you want then find a mutually agreeable date. Mom hasn't even checked dates yet - just says it might not work because of sports schedule so Dad should do a date she wants. Another alternative is skip the sleepover and do it another time to give you more flexibility. [/quote]

I agree.

If Dad has been making plans with his friends or whoever, it’s not fair to now pick an arbitrary date and tell him he can’t go. How would you feel if you had a cool girls’ weekend planned (probably your first fun weekend away in awhile) and your husband decided that an activity with your kid that he JUST decided on was the date and that you couldn’t go? Be reasonable. You don’t need him to be home. Otherwise, pick a new date. It’s not fair at all to your husband to make him skip a trip hat he was looking forward to and planned for awhile just because you said so, essentially. And for the record I went o my own school’s game seven states away last year and didn’t get tickets until I arrived because they’re much cheaper and you can always find some. [/quote]
