I wonder about the mom whose DH asked for a divorce after she chose to work at the animal shelter instead of their child's birthday party. I'd live an update!

My niece went to a classmate’s birthday party. Shortly after, every single person who attended the party got sick: vomiting, diarrhea and fever requiring hospitalization (for the child's parents, siblings and all the children who went) It’s food poisoning. On the parents Facebook pages they brag about being "cheapskates" who only buy food at the discount grocery store that sells only expired foods. So the hotdogs, burgers, cake and other food at the party were all made from expired foods. We are all livid. My niece and the others will be in the hospital for another few days at least.

We're having a small birthday party for DS3 this year due to schedules. I could not be more excited! =)

Since YOU DON'T have the decency to let me know of time for your child's birthday party, I WILL have the decency to not show up.

Today my 4 year old decided we should have a birthday party for dh (it is not his birthday). I went with it and followed 4 year olds instructions to decorate the house with balloons, draw pictures, make jello and cake and we are making dads (dh) favorite meal for supper. An impromptu birthday party sounds like fun to me. - éè

Damn, my five minutes of TRUU is up. I've got to clean the kitchen and dining room now. Then I have to rake leaves and scoop poop. Later I get to buy some dirt to fill in bald spots on my lawn. Why did I think having a birthday party at my house was a good idea again?

My cousin has these relatives taht always bring their dog with them. They live close by, they could leave the dog at home. But no. Art show at a massage studio? Dog is in there. Indoor birthday party? Dog is there. Not everyone loves dogs in there houses, so leave your dog at home!

Feeling like a terrible single mom. Just went through 48 hours of hell with my nine year old. Thank god his takes him every other weekend. Still, I dread the weekends with him. He is very angry and oppositional. He screams at me and orders me around. I'm contantly telling him that I am the parent and he is the child. We are starting therapy again. I walk around on eggshells around him. I spent Saturday dying easter eggs with him and taking him to a really fun birthday party. Today I spent a couple of hours doing an art project with him. Whatever I do it is not enough. help...

DS wants a birthday party but can only think of 1 boy to ask and another but he doesn't know his name. Sigh... it really sucks having a child who doesn't make friends easily, it really does. He only seems to mind when his sister has a list a mile long of friends to invite then he gets mad that she'll have more people than he will.

I'm a single parent to my DD who turned 5 on Sunday. Thanks to all my family and boyfriend (not DD dad) we had a great small birthday party. DD and I are very fortunate.
