SGKid birthday drama part 2

Forums:

Well part 2 hasn't happened yet but I see it happening soon. Backstory SS send DH a hateful text then phone call because DH went to my son's Army graduation out of state instead of SGKid's (OSD's son) birthday party.

DH showed me the Facebook invite to SGKid (SS's daughter) birthday party next month. It's a 4pm on a Monday :? The kid is not in school so it's not a kids party it's their party for family. We live 1 1/2 hours away in good traffic. In order to go to the party DH would have to take half the day off work. He told me he can't do that. I noticed on the invite SS's friends who were invited were saying the couldn't come due to getting off work at 5pm. Of course SDs are all over how they will getting off early to be sure they can attend.

Really who plans a party for 4pm on Monday!!! Is this a test to see who will take off work to go???

Wow, at least your husband

Wow, at least your husband didn't compromise his job for his son's inconsiderate scheduling. They have no time on the weekends, seriously?

What did the son think might happen when deciding the date/time of this event? Most people have to work, and, they do not make their own hours.

Consideration is not the man's greatest asset. Let husband deal with his son, he sounds like a real pain.

"Really who plans a party for

"Really who plans a party for 4pm on Monday!!"

Socially awkward, self absorbed GUs, apparently.

Teachable moment here for your DH. I hope he explains in detail why he cannot attend. Silly rabbits!

who plans a kids party for

who plans a kids party for 4pm on a Monday..... people who does not have the money to through a party, people who can't say NO to their kids, people who does not want to have other people there, cause that means they have to cough up more money.....

shall i go on

Seems to me they want their

Seems to me they want their cake and bitch about it too.

IMOP the skids are calculating. SS & SD's already conspired together the plan for birthday party. They already know you dh will have to take off work to attend. They want to see just how much effort and how many hoops they can make him jump through. The sd's make sure everyone can see that they have no problem making the party the priority. Now, if dh can not attend they can all complain about it.

I'm with you on this one. My

I'm with you on this one. My SGD31 has her calendar all planned out for EVERYTHING January of each year, for the entire year. She expects everyone to attend SGGD's birthday, baseball games, camp trips, boat trips, you name it; she is VERY controlling and very nasty when everyone don't abide.

My DH is disabled, we live 3 hours away from SGD31, and he just said "No" from the beginning (5 years). I never said a word and stayed out of it, as I do now. This has been for the past 5 years going on and on and on; SGD31 never gives it up. We get FB invitations, written invitations, and she texts DH all the time with something on her schedule.

Of course it is my fault, because "I won't drive DH" to these events. DH never tells them it's his decision, so I'm the bad guy. I don't care any more, because DH and I know the truth. I'm glad we don't attend.

People like DH and I who have

People like DH and I who have off on Mondays (along with the majority of our family members), lol. But we always make sure everyone who is invited knows that we understand work schedules and we won't be upset if they are late or can't make it. Just because our family business's are closed Mondays doesn't mean everyone has off on Mondays.

To me, this sounds like a sneaky way to make sure your DH won't be there while still giving the appearance the SKids care to the outside world by including him in the FB invite.
