[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to go against the grain here and say an invitation to a party is not a summons. I would probably decline such an invitation. Husband can go and take gift. Why make yourselves miserable?[/quote]

The only one who sounds miserable is OP. Nowhere in her post did she say this would throw her kid off balance for days on end. Op just has an extremely rigid plan with her kid and seems to freak out if she has to stray from it.  They can go for dinner and leave around 730. I guarantee OPs kid will be fine if bedtime is 830 and not 8.[/quote]

I would decline the party because neither my child nor I would enjoy it. I don't see the issue with that and think OP's DH is the one being needlessly rigid and stubborn.[/quote]

I can see we don’t value family in the same way. I would be really sad if my niece/nephew did not attend my son birthday party because it would delay bedtime. How sad[/quote]

That’s because you only care about yourself. You are not thinking of your niece/nephew. [/quote]

I would not have a birthday party at 6 PM, but if for whatever reason that was the only time I could find a place, I would absolutely expect my family to attend. It’s my child’s birthday so ai would be thinking about him before thinking about inconveniencing SIL for 30 min.

YOU are the selfish one.[/quote]
