Just wanted to let everyone know that i posted in our married life journal how the b-day party went after deciding to go. curious as to how everyone thinks i handled it. if think i handled it wrong won't take any offense to it.

I went over and read it Treasia, and I wasn't going to say anything. But, seeings how you have specifically asked twice for our comments, here goes. I don't necessarily think you handled it wrong. I just would have handled it differently. But I'm different from you, Treasia, and that's what makes the world go round. And if your DH is happy with how you handled it, who am I to say anything? :) The thing I would have done differently was that I would have been so helpful with everything, cleaning up included. I wouldn't have let them exclude me from anything. I would have made it a point for every person in that room to know me and love me. And when next year came, I would have been right there doing it all again... same place, same time. There is nothing wrong with you starting a new tradition at your place too, but I personally wouldn't even dream of boycotting their party next year. JMO :D Other than that, it sounded like she had a great party!

I agree with what Karen said. To me it sounded like you tried not to have fun. JMO. I know the situation had to be very hard and I would not have wanted to go either. I'm glad you went for the sake of the children. That really showed some positive character.
