The monster's turning 9 in a few weeks and I am getting things together for it. I don't go into big plans anymore b/c between both families and the friends that we invite we are up to almost 100 people!! I cannot do a big themes for this many people so instead I rented a moon bounce and will host a BBQ at my parents house. It will be fun, I hope, it was last year.
So tonight after I tell the monster to go to bed he decides we need to talk b/c he no longer wants his dad to come to his party. What am I supposed to do with that? He is really upset with his father and complains to me but will not try talking to his father. I am not going to tell his father not to come. I think the monster would be very upset if his dad didn't come even if the father doesn't come b/c the monster told him not to. I have no idea how to make this right?
I think part of this was b/c the monster was tired and getting ready to go to bed but this has become a common theme with our conversations about his father. I have to say that I normally do not bring up his father b/c I don't want to deal with it, to be honest. I know he is upset and I keep telling him to talk to his father and I keep telling his father what he says but it gets no where. I feel like I am in the middle of this and cannot get out. Neither of them is willing to communicate with the other. The most annoying thing about this is that his father is an adult and needs to try something!!! I am tired of this shit but I get it, his father is remarried with another family and doesn't care about his son anymore, it makes me mad and admittedly bitter! It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
