Wedding Woes

The birthday party judging

We judge this woman hard because she's an awful person in general, but I digress.

Anyway, she sends out an invite with a picture of the kid on it with messy hair in dirty pajamas. The party is going to be at her in laws house in central NJ from 12-2, the weekend after Mother's Day, not on his birthday or anything.

2 hours for a party seems pretty short, and one of my good friends texted her to wish her a happy birthday yesterday and asked her if it would be ok if she stopped by after 2, because she works on Saturdays until 2. The mom replied that they would be going home promptly at 2 because of her son's naptime. Ok.

Apparently, this woman is quite annoyed with her RSVPs, because no one is coming. Her sister who already has 3 kids under 3 is pregnant with twins and is scheduled for a c-section that week. Her mom and husband will be with her. Also, her friends who live in south Jersey (a good 1-1.5 hour drive) don't want to come up for the 2 hour party.

Really, just not the greatest planning on her part.

    Eh, I don't think that's bad.  I don't think it's bad to not have it on the kid's bday.  She's probably also peeved that her kid is getting the shaft for the twins.

    I don't judge not having the party on the kids birthday, as long as it's in the same month-ish. I do judge inviting people from out of town to a 2 hour party. If she's that much of a stickler for nap time, have the party after the nap.

    I'm not judging the part about not having it on his birthday. His birthday is a Tuesday, so it wouldn't be practical. I said that just because I thought it was odd that she would schedule a party for the same week her sister (who is her BFF) is having twins.

    I also thought the party should be after the nap, or he could have napped at his grandparents house.

    And on a normal person who I liked, I probably wouldn't be judging so hard.
