Babies on the Brain
Sad and pissed for my boy...
I don't post often and usually just in reply to another message... but tonight I needed a place to vent where noone knows my face...
Our family SUCKS. My baby son's 2nd birthday party today and NO ONE CAME!!!
No aunts or uncles or grandma's or grandpas no one showed the F&&K up.
No excuses no I am sorry's nothing they just didn't show. My kids deserve SOOOO MUCH more than this. And it angers me for them.
Sorry completely just done with people. I can't wait for my small people (ages 7, 5 and 2) to tell them exactly how they feel.
As parents DH and I have decided not to bad mouth or talk poorly about their crappy family in front of them and let them decide when and how and where the relationship is. We go to every event and we invite everyone to everything but my 7 year old has begun to ask questions... and it makes my heart sad.
Again sorry for the vent. Just bummed for my kid and sad that DH's parents are douches and mine well... they sure as heck aren't any better.

Re: Sad and pissed for my boy...
It's crappy if you were expecting people to come and they didn't, that's just ungracious.
Your son won't remember his 2nd birthday though, so I wouldn't get too upset about that. I think not bashing family members in front of your kids is the right thing to do.
I would probably be easier about it if this was a once in a lifetime gig it would be different they miss major things all the time. It is just sad. Makes my heart hurt for my small people. They are just awesome and deserve so much better. Thankfully DH and I appreciate their awesomeness and enjoy being with them.
But it is hard to watch other grandparents be awesome and know that their grandparents could be good if they cared enough to try.
Jealously and anger such an ugly combo. Thankfully I keep it in check and can let it go mostly. Today was just one of those moments...
thanks for reading!
Seriously?? She wasn't saying she was pissed that her son didn't get a bunch of gifts. She is sad that her family wasn't there to celebrate her son's birthday. There is nothing ungracious about that. You would feel differently if you had kids.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
Sorry your family sucks. Hopefully the next birthday party goes better! And like PP said, at least he won't remember this one.
Mmmm...cake!
OP, why do you keep referring to your kids as your small people?
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!

reading comprehension fail
Sorry to hear that, I'd be a little upset too =( especially if you put alot of effort into planning a party. Did people say they were coming? That would be just plain rude to say they were and NOT show up. Oh well, Maybe next year instead of throwing a party ya'll can plan a super fun family day that way no one gets dissapointed and you won't have to worry about the family being no shows.
wanted to add- I refer to my SD and her soon to be brother as "Little People" or "Kidlets". That doesn't seem to be weird to me at all.
