[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son’s birthday party is this afternoon. I just got a text from one of the families invited ( Family friends, our kids are the same age) that they aren’t coming... because they decided to visit grandma (local) because she’s depressed - her son, the kids’ uncle - died suddenly last month in her home. Seeing her grandkids makes her happy, so they’re skipping the party today.
 I don’t think it’s healthy for the grandchildren to be used as emotional crutches, especially skipping a party where they would see friends they don’t get to see very often. I’m tempted to text back something to that effect but I don’t want to jeopardize our friendship. 
Would you say anything?
 We’ve got a lot of children coming to the party, so it’s not about the party itself. I just feel bad for the kids that they’re going to miss out on fun and instead have to cheer up grandma,  in the house when their uncle died.

This post has bothered me a lot.  You are upset because someone decided to visit the depressed grandmother who recently lost her son.  Are you that self important that you do not realize that other people have problems in there life, and you might not be the first priority.

You remind me of my DD's 5th grade teacher who publicly called out DD for not getting a homework assignment done.  Why did she not get it done?   Um the day the assignment was given, I had surgery for metastatic cancer, and after school, she visited me.  Teacher was aware of this.

It is the same thing.

Everyone is allowed to set their own priorities in life.  They value the grandmother's well being over a party that is going to have many other kids.

And you do have the right to be a supercilious twit.[/quote]
