[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why both parents have to be there for a 13 yr old sleepover.[/quote]

I don't either.  13 is a little old for the dad to need to be there for cake cutting.  Let him enjoy his homecoming game!  You and grandma could even FaceTime with him during the cake cutting if that's what it takes.[/quote]

No no no no no no. Do not enable your husband's petulance/selfishness. If a woman had an important (to her) event that coincided with her kids birthday, society would be willing to burn her at the stake. [/quote]

Nonsense.  If mom had a planned girls' getaway and dad tried to schedule the party on the same date, I'd be upset on her behalf and tell her to go, too.  Have a private family celebration on a different date.  This isn't a little kid - it's a teenager.  It's all about his friends.[/quote]

From his perspective it may be all about his friends, but someone has to be there to be responsible should anything go wrong. Why should the burden fall upon OP? Her husband should share the responsibility with her.

Men who care about football past the age of 22 are so unsexy.[/quote]

There are millions of women who disagree.
