[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 373362, member: 2325"] Thanks everyone. When I say he demands a party. I mean, he has INFORMED ME and then DEMANDED from me (when I said no) to inviting ALOT of people to some entertainment place (so he can get ALOT of gifts), and then ME paying for everyone to come to this place, and the food, cake, etc.....OR....having everyone at the house. AND he has informed me that he's ALREADY invited his providers AND their families, and the other difficult child's from camp..........what???????? This is just another example of how he states something to others that I am in the dark about. Since we have NO family within 2,000 miles, birthdays and holidays are always just the 3 of us. We do dinner (at home or at restaurant-BD person gets to pick where to go), have cake, and presents. But I've never done a party because difficult child basically has no friends, so I'd be inviting say the one friend (co-worker) that "I" have. That just seems inappropriate for my friend to come to either easy child's or difficult child's BD. See my point. So, to clarify (since I didn't write the thread very good...sorry, my mistake...my head writing one thing and my fingers writing something else). We always do a family BD dinner, cake and presents. BUT this year he has INFORMED AND THEN DEMANDED that we go to a kids entertainment place and I pay for everyone and everything because "he wants ALOT of presents"...sigh. OR We have all these people that I don't know over to the house, and I not only buy all the food and party stuff, but cook and entertain them. EITHER one of these scenarios is what I said NO to. THIS type of thing he would definitely have to earn....RIGHT? Or am I seeing this wrong? I only have me to talk to and discuss this with, that's why I asked. But my beginning thread was not good at explaining this...sorry. [/QUOTE]
