[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 628323, member: 17269"] Ouch. I could so easily have gotten myself in your position! I think the only out is surgical...clean and soon. difficult child, I'm so sorry, I spoke too clearly. Once I thought about things more and talked to the rest of the family I realized I should not invited you. This isn't the year for you to come to x's birthday party. Maybe we can work out a visit for later in the summer. Talk to you later ! (this will work if you are on the phone). If you are face to face...she'll start sputtering...."WHAT??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!"" To which you reply, I'm sorry, honey, this party is really about (insert toddler's name) and that is how it is. "BUT THAT IS SO MEAN!!! ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON"T TRUST ME??" I'm saying we want to focus on the baby. "BUT I REALLY REALLY WANT TO COME!! WHAT KIND OF FAMILY IS THIS ANYWAY?" I'm sorry you are disappointed. I'M JUST GOING TO COME ANYWAY!!! "I don't think you should do that. That would be making it about you instead of the baby, and we know that isn't right." I HATE YOU!!! "I'm sorry you feel that way right now." I"M GOING TO CALL MY BROTHER!!" "OK" "I HATE sister in law!!! THIS IS ALL HER FAULT!!" "We all agreed that we want the focus to be on the baby." WTF DOES THAT MEAN? "We can talk about that later." How'm I doing? Echo [/QUOTE]
