Im sorry I have to vent
I planned a birthday party for my DS(1) and my nephew(3). I told my ex a month ago so that he would have plenty of noticed and even reminded him later on. I also said that he could invite his family, thinking that they would come.
The party came and none of them showed up. My ex text me over an hour after the start of the party and said he wasn't going to make it because he got called into work. It's a volunteer job.
I think what really pissed me off is he complains that he doesn't see DS enough, but doesn't show up for his birthday.
Men....enough said, right?

Re: Im sorry I have to vent
One is a big deal, sorry he didn't show up. BD probably didn't even invite anyone in his family since it was a joint party for your nephew too. I would feel a bit awkward at a joint family party that is mainly for your side of the family if I was BD's relative. I understand your vent - BD may throw himself a pity party over not seeing the LO enough, but then ultimately doesn't make the effort.
Sorry for the drama. But Happy birthday to your lo!
stbxh didnt even call on dd's birthday. I even arranged a little party with his family only. He showed up screamed and yelled at me. Called the cops on me for kidnapping (again) and left the party without telling dd happy birthday or bringing her any gift. Rinse and repeat for his side of the family's Christmas celebration with dd. Fun times. Fun times. I did learn that I won't be planning these shindigs on the actual days/holidays so as to not take away from the specialness of the day with his shenanigans.
