Over 6 year old birthday

[Hellamegafuckup]

I don't know of im being unfair. My son is 6 a week. Hes never had a party or anything and we have had a really tough few years. This year I have got a little birthday tea with a few friends. The thing is I don't want my mum there, she was really rude about my son teachers in front of them. Laughing about ones hair and saying another had a fat ass. These teachers have been lovely to my son and myself. My son and I have made some good friends. I don't want her to do that here. So I have said she can come over to my house to see my son and gave her a time. So avoiding her being at the party tea, she has now got in a right strop. Am I wrong ? I've not said she can't see my little one on his birthday just gave her a time to visit.

DS turned 6 a few days ago. We had a birthday celebration with family. He's having his party with his friends later this week. I wouldn't even have considered inviting my mum. She wouldn't want to hang out with a couple of 3-7-year-olds and their parents...

Actions have results.she should realise this now and hopefully will be kinder in future.or at least not say it even if she thinks it.
Hope your son has a brilliant tea party.🌈

Birthday parties are for the child and their friends. My DD is the same age as your DS and I’ve never invited my mum to one of her parties even though we have a great relationship nor have I ever seen a grandparent at anyone else’s. Your mum sounds really strange tbh (the comments about the teacher, wtf) but irrespective, it’s completely normal to not invite her.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I felt like I was crazy .🙄i don't really understand why she would want to be there. If I could get away with not sitting around with a bunch of kids who are tiered after school I would. 😅i just want my little one to have a good time. Thank you

Tell her it is a children’s school friend party, no room for extras and he will be busy with his friends. You have given her a set time so that she gets a shot quality time with her grandson.

If she pushes further I would say ‘to be honest Mum, you’ve been so rude about his teachers I don’t want crossover between family and school. So are you at xx time, unless you would rather not come on his birthday at all?”
