Sick of BF drama

This is just a vent really. (I'm beginning to feel more comfortable at my new desk, and brave enough to bump a little more!) Surprisingly it has nothing to do with BM, But rather with DH's own blended family. We are having ss birthday party tomorrow.
Now DH's parents were never married, and while I love each of them as people, they fell more into the craptastic catagory as parents, especially dealing with the blended family situation. As long as they made each others lives hell, that was really all that mattered. DH's grandparents took custody of him at 16, so with the exception of our wedding (which they all threw huge fits over) they have not seen or dealt with each other in 9 years. You'd think you could be over it by now, right? So DH's dad and sm are not coming because dhs mom will be there. DHs mom is not coming until almost the end because, well, no one knows why. And now due to weather we are having the party at my parents house rather than the park as planned. My parents are centrally located to most of the guests, they have the space (we do not) and they volunteered their house. That's the reason we're having it there. BUT DHs grandma (the one he lived with from 16 on) thinks that my mom doesnt like her so they are not coming since it's at my parents house.
O. M. G. Grow up people. I'm pretty sure I wrote in the invites that the party was for ss, not any of them. If people want to not come for stupid reasons, that's their deal. But I feel bad for ss, and I feel bad for dh. dh is kind of embarassed that more of my extended family is coming than his own. I just don't understand how some people can be so petty I guess...

Re: Sick of BF drama
That is lame that they can't put aside their differences or life long hatred of each other to go to SS's birthday party. I hope his feelings won't be hurt! I'm sure he will have a great time, all of you will, and those that don't show up will be missing out!
On a side note, when I read your subject line, I thought you were referring to the stupid drama on the board lately!
I'm sorry honey I know how much that sucks...except it happens to my daughter and not my SD:( DH has an uncle who liked his ex and therefore doesn't like me, he came to our wedding and he told DH that he hated me because I didn't walk to the table and tell him hi (i was on the dance floor the whole night with the girls!!!) so now he will only come to something for SD and not DD which i think is petty but I just stopped inviting him.
And if they are going to act like that everytime something happens then stop inviting them, you would be amazed how fast people will come around if you don't give them an option, now some will get mad that they weren't invited but I just tell them well you threw such a fit about it last time that I didn't want to bother you this time.
good luck honey and i'm sure that SS will have a great time regardless of all the family drama going on around him:)
