Why can't we pick our parents and extended family??? I am constantly getting annoyed by my father and his side of the family. I understand that he feels sad/depressed that his children don't visit but it's so hard to when you make one of us feel left out.
I am throwing my son his 3rd birthday party and I really didn't want to but he asked if I was. And so i decided since we are taking him to disneyland for his bday that I will keep it small. Just invite my father, step-mom, obachan (grandmother), uncle, aunt and two cousins.. and of course my sister her family and bro and his. But my little man invited my mom so I then invited my other grandparents, uncle and step grandmother. Now keep in mind that I did this whole thing so that M can celebrate with my grandpa and his side of the family. And that this party was only for two hours from 2:00-4:00pm. And my obachan said that she would go if my uncle goes when i called to make sure she was free. over a month ago I sent a 'save the date' evite and my two cousins said that they could not make it. my step mother said that she and dad were 'free for now'. and I sent invitations out last week and my aunt finally replied but to my 'save the date' evite instead of calling or emailing me like my invitations said to do. Do you see where I am going with this? I don't understand that side of the family.. it's just sad that they will never know mason. they won't know that he is such a great child. how affectionate he is or how smart he can be. or that he is constantly wanting to make me laugh.
Okay so i promised myself that i will be more positive so let's see how do i spin this to be more positive?????
well he will have a party and yeah we'll see the same people the next week and celebrate all May Bdays.. but that's okay i am giving his own special time to celebrate him turning 3. which you only turn 3 once. ;-P he'll see how much he is loved by family that can make time for him. And if it's nice we'll turn it to a swimming party.
