My last opportunity to give her a birthday party and it's taken away from me. He's never had anything to do with them, invariably never went to any of them. That may sound selfish, probably is but do I really want to a) be in a confined room with my ex b) be in a confined room with my estranged sister or c) be at a poxy casino with him when it was his gambling there that put paid to our marriage?

My intention was to have a gathering in a neutral place, to be able to invite those already mentioned without having to spend any actual time with them, some of the wider family, to invite her God-parents, close family friends and some of her own friends - about 70 people. We've spent ages over the last few months viewing possible venues. She wouldn't commit to any of the choices we gave her, then decided she wanted La Quinta when we were there last weekend for my sister-in-law's 50th. The next thing I knew she'd gone to her dad. Not sure my 75 year old parents are going to want to come to a casino, whereas his are, they often go anyway.

Like our forthcoming Center Parcs family weekend, it's going to be something to be endured rather than enjoyed.

The ex sounds like a right selfish git. To put you in a confined room with the 2 people you don't get on with is very wrong. Also the casino thing, sounds like he wants to have the party and the opportunity to have a flutter. He's either incredibly selfish and thoughtless, or he is hitting you where it hurts on purpose.

And that's exactly why it is here because I don't want her, or other family members, to see it so it's not on FB. Thank you those who have made lovely comments, it's incredibly hard though. However happy I am now with Kev, the pain of what the ex caused is still quite raw. I could have coped with it all in a neutral venue with space, but in a room at the casino? I can just see him having worked out seating so that we are sat at a table with my parents and my sister cos he is that much of an arse!

BRB just posting this on Livvy's timeline. :net:
 
Managed to delete a months worth of coding from my machine at work.

It can be recovered from tape backups of the repository server but the whole thing makes me look like a bit of a mug.
 
I don't know why but spurious apostrophes wind me up! e.g. "Fresh chicken's"... Fresh chicken's what? Or at a café - "Tea's and coffee's". Grr!
 
OBL, while it is one day - albeit a special one, there will be many, many days to follow (We hope!). Mums are for life, not just birthdays! I hope you have a great time, irrespective. :smile:
