Plus: The public school kids are partying and my daughter is stuck in class.
Your advice included: “Moreover, if you’re bringing in the money to pay for , your husband’s veto should have no power.”I have been married for more than 50 years and during this time, my husband worked while I stayed at home to raise our four children. We have always felt that his paycheck was “our money” and decisions were made by both of us.
I didn’t mean to denigrate anyone based on what they bring into the home, and I apologize that I didn’t communicate that clearly.: My son and my niece had been friends since childhood but had a falling-out about a decade ago. So, when you press him to come to these awkward dinners, it probably sounds to him like you’re taking your niece’s side. I’m curious why that is.The awkwardness of these dinners is not his fault. Your niece stopped talking to him for years; her husband was cruel. I wouldn’t want to eat with these people either.
Depending on what else is on the other family’s schedule, continuing to have the party on the public schools’ day off may be the best option for them and the rest of the kids who are invited. So, try not to take it personally if she’s resistant to moving the party. Could be easier said than done.
