I'll keep this as brief as I can!
It's DS2's birthday this weekend and I planned a party, paid for everything and catered for everyone.
My parents offered their house as a venue as my house is small which I accepted.
We have a very horrible history but we remain civil for the sake of my DC's.
They ruined his first Christmas, ruined my birthday and I ended up living in a hostel as they were abusive.
My EX left me when I was PG with DS2. We have a brilliant relationship and are growing closer, our DS's love things how they are and love the fact that we are getting closer again. My parents know that we have a close relationship.
My parents believed that he wouldn't be invited and now they are kicking off saying that they don't want him there and they can't forgive him (he has never done anything to them) for what he did to me. I've told them that it is about DS and no one else but they are not having any of it.
I have built bridges with them and what they have done in the past, me and my EX value our closeness and I would avoid anything that may jeopardise that.
So another milestone of my child's life that will cause conflict and end up a negative memory rather than a positive one and rather allow that to happen I am thinking of cancelling everything and taking the DS's out for the day with their Dad instead.
I will listen to all your opinions and thank you for taking the time to read this.

To cancel everything? I'm fed up.
