You say you rarely have disagreements, but it seems to me that you have very little sympathy for her, and possibly think she's a liar?  She's telling you she's at her limit and cannot handle doing this again at the house, and your reaction is to basically roll your eyes and call her dramatic.  Why not take her at her word?  She's telling you very clearly that she does not want to do this and it's very stressful for her, and she's bringing you a solution at the same time.  Seems to me that's the gold standard for communication in a marriage.[/quote]

Op here. This is a good point. I am not trying to be a dick.  Ok, venue it is. Thanks all[/quote]

New poster here.  Thanks for the update OP.  I too have a cold weather birthdays and longingly wished we could have done birthdays in the park and rent a pavilion like the May birthdays or the backyard parties like the September birthdays.  Short of just our parents and siblings (without any kids) for cupcakes and lunch, we’ve done all the birthday parties at venues because it is easier on us.  If the money is a concern you can always look for and plan a less expensive venue to host the gathering but given we are in December already the prime time/places might already be booked For January.[/quote]
