DD 1st Birthday Party

I can't wait for my DD to turn one on Sunday. We're having a small party for her with just family and a few friends. My DH has a child from his first marriage. SD8 is, to put it in the nicest terms, special. She's very difficult to deal with for any length of time. Fortunately she doesn't visit us very often anymore. Her BM lives quite far from is and picking her up and dropping her off is a major production. Anyways ... she's been gone at a relative's house all summer (yay cloud). However, she's going to be back just in time for DH's party. Of course, my DH's mother stuck her nose in things and made sure we could have her this weekend. I don't want SD here because she will try to be in the middle of everything and make it all about her. I already don't like SD and if she ruins this for us I will be very upset.

I always liked how everyone wanted to make sure the skid was at our place when I had a bday for our son, but nobody gave a flipping hoot if my son was with his 1/2 sister for her bday...gotta love it.

Anyway, I understand. I remember one of my son's birthday, MY MOTHER constantly complaining and asking for us to get our pic taken with skid AND our son...argh...whatever.

Good luck. Have fun and try to just focus on enjoying the day with your DD.

Oh jeez! I JUST went through this exact same situation with BS1. I wound up having to babysit SS8 for almost a freaking week because "everyone" in the fam thought it would be great if BS1 and SS8 spent time together...

Well, SS8 wanted to be the only one here and MY BS1 wound up wandering around by HIMSELF, on his freaking 1st birthday! EVERY damn pic has SS8 in it. The worst part of it is, he is sooooooooooooooo ugly like his mom. I'm not just being mean, the kid IS ugly. Anyways, it was a PITA.

Experience: Speak up, or it will piss you off and make you livid.

Happy Birthday to DD1!!! Blum 3
