[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea to take a friend with you is an excellent one.

Take your closest friend who is confident and direct. She can be your wing woman the whole time. I would have her stay close to you and just have your back with conversation redirections if anyone tries to say something obnoxious to you.

If you were my friend OP I would be there with you with a fresh blowout, makeup, perfect outfit and all throwing shade at these bitches for you.

If you don't have this kind of friend in your life, you need to get one. [/quote]

Actually taking a friend or family member is really truly terrible advice.

It just makes a more awkward situation even more horribly awkward.  What you end up doing is standing to the side with your friend or family member and whispering the whole time how terrible the EX and GF are.  Don't do it.  It the mom wants to go, she goes by herself.  If she doesn't want to go, she is honest with her child that this is a party for him and his dad's family.  This is the reality of divorce. Sometimes both parents won't be at every party, event or celebration.  There is a false promise and hope that kids get by constantly seeing their parents get together so soon after a split or divorce.  I have watched friends make this mistake - birthday parties, vacations - and it just led to confuse and hurt for the kids.[/quote]
