directly over mine, and the party will be out there (we live in AZ). My DH says no way. I think he's wrong. We did the right thing and distanced ourselves - but there's no way I'm having some little kid and another mom sit in their yard, listening to a birthday party right next door, that all the other neighborhood kids will attend. I don't care, I'm not doing that to another mother. No f'g way. I don't have to like her or her kid, it's a shitty thing to do. We're not talking about being best friends, it's one 2-hour party. DH is adamant. I'm much more flexible than he is and usually give in, in our marriage in general, but this time I told him, either the whole block is invited or no party, we'll just do a family-only party at my ILs house. You don't deliberately leave out only one child. Who's right?
