Just found out she already filed

FWIW, a "school party" is a fun treat, but it does NOT count as a birthday party.

I'd recommend separate parties. Maybe legoland with 2-3 friends + sleepover. How old is DD? For young kids, a good rule of thumb is no more guests than the child's age.

BTW, I spent $10/kid for matching outfits at DD4's b'day. The kids LOVED them, I mean really really loved them.

I don't know guys...maybe my mind's so tired that I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill. What I want is for DD to have at least one b.day party and share her b.day weekend with her mom too. Whether that's together or separately.

Here's the email I've drafted, let me know if you guys think it makes sense to send to her or not?



I don't want to piece meal stuff so just come over with he movers once and take all your stuff.

You can call DD anytime you want even when it's not her b.day but I think she'd really like to share her b.day weekend with you. And in the future I too want to spend a day before or after the b.day with her if it's your turn. To clarify where I was coming from I figured you'd invite some people to the b.day party that I have no desire seeing. However, I would like to at least do her b.day as family even if it's just the three of us cutting the cake and perhaps having dinner together- sort of a new tradition from now on.

If you are not planning to set up a b.day party for her at all then I will do it at her school on that Fri. It'd be nice if you could come. We can take her to the animal farm on Sat and have dinner and if you change your mind you can also keep her on Sun.

Thanks

That sounds good.

Short and to the point. Is your DD living with you or her now, Romeo?

The animal farm sounds cool. I wanna go! LOL.

Can you post in my sitch when you get a sec?

I saw where you posted this earlier on soleil's thread...

"She's the one leaving but feels entitled to everything and it's going to be a fight all the way to the end."

That is exactly the experience that I'm having as well.
