My DD is turning 1 on sunday!

I don't want to throw a party (money being an issue) and also there was a fallout with the MIL before Christmas which almost ruined it and although we are talking again now, it was a bad one! Lots of hurtful unnecessary spiteful things were said on her part and my mother had been dragged into it all (she stayed out of it shes not the drama type but her name was dragged in for no reason at all) which has now made things extremely hard to bring both families together!

So fed of the constant pressure of everything!
Now with trying to please everyone as they will all want to see DD i need to make plans but dont know how to go about it.

I spent all day Christmas in the kitchen catering for both sides that came to visit on separate parts of the day and really dont fancy doing the same for her birthday! I want to enjoy it with her.

So any ideas welcome.... I wouldn't mind taking her to a soft play for an hour or so as shes quite adventurous and i think she'd enjoy it. Its difficult with her still needing her naps inbetween. I shouldn't have to fit in around everyone else but after the fall out i am quite on edge and anxious and just want an easy day without upsetting anyone if thats even possible !!

Could you say that any one is welcome in the morning for a cup of tea and a slice of cake, but you will be out in the afternoon. Then go to the indoor play centre in the afternoon but work it around your daughter's afternoon nap?
