This is potentially very outing so I will keep it as vague as possible!
DS is turning 2 on Saturday, my parents offered to have his party at their house as they have a large garden and we live in a small flat. I was very grateful and organised a small get together with immediate family (mine & DPs sisters/brothers their children and a few of our close friends with DCs his age).
DS was born extremely premature and has suffered multiple complications because of this particularly with his chest and lungs. He was hospitilised a month back with a chest infection as his lungs cannot cope very well even with a cold. This is the reason I have kept it small to avoid lots of germs/people and my mother knows this.
She first asked if I could invite her brothers, their children (my cousins) and both sets of my grandparents. These are people who don't see DS regularly so he won't get mucu out of them being there other than the increase in numbers/added stress. I explained this and my mother agreed and backed down.
She has now told me she has organised a seperate party for us the weekend after with all of these people and more and is guilt tripping me into bringing DS. I really don't know if IABU because its lovely she cares enough to do this and great that DS has a big extended family who want to celebrate with us but having not one but two relatively big parties with the risk of them making him unwell again is making me anxious and I don't want to go!
