[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just invite your mom to his party? Seems simple to me. [/quote]

OP here. The thing is there really wouldn’t be an actual party. It would be him hanging out with a few friends fishing at a park or even watching a movie, we’re thinking. I remember that by a certain age when I was a kid grandparents weren’t at every birthday. Maybe they came over and we all went out to dinner and got presents. But they didn’t join us for a pool party or at the bowling alley. Maybe the WWII generation wasn’t all that crazy when it came to grandkids birthdays to begin with.[/quote]
So what?  You will be there, dad will be there, who cares if there's another adult?  Who cares how it was when you were a kid or what others are doing?  None of that matters.  It's such a small ask.  You seem petty to dig in your heels about it.[/quote]

Wait what?

So, the kid can’t have a friend birthday party because Grandma can’t deal with it?

OP, you need to stand firm otherwise you’re going to planning sleepover parties for the kids + Grandma. [/quote]
