Need help with Birthday Party...

[EskimoMumma]

Hi there, DS's 6th birthday isnt for another 6months but another thread got me thinking about this.

I share custody of my son with the ex, he has more, etc :ecomcity:

What got me thinking was, before he started school, it was fine, he had his seperate birthday parties, one at mummies, one at daddies, then the two family dinners as well on top of that so he was pretty spoiled. But he is in school now.

I want to invite his school friends, and im pretty sure his dads family will want to dot he same.

Will i run into alot of problems with this??I dont want to make the parents seem like they have to choose which party. I also dont want it to turn into a comp of who has the better party.

I also dont want his friends to start asking their parents for two parties too.

What would you do in this istuation?? DS has plenty of neighbourhood friends but I sitll want to send the invites out for his school buds too. How should I go about doing this??

And combined bday of both me and the ex, wont happen so that cant be a solution..


Thanks in advance.

Is there any way you can do a party every second year? You do this year's, your ex-DH can do the following year's etc etc. Two parties every year is a lot for a little boy, and if you and your ex take turns every year, your son will have all his friends there, and he'll have no issues between his mum and dad. It's a good compromise system.

Good luck with everything - I hope it all sorts itself out.
