I feel for you. My mom spoke about the Christmas dinner i was having (2 weeks after my C section) in front of BIL and I had to invite him!</p> <p>I think guys are a lot different when it comes to this stuff. I know my SO doesnt get hurt feelings about not receiving invites yet I do. Hopefully when you talk it over with him again, he might understand it from a womans perspective.</p> <p>Ha, whenever I give the obligatory invites to Bil who has three kids, I prefix it by saying "I know you're probably super busy with the kids activities and won't be able to make it.....but I wanted you to know you are included" and then give them the invite..lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-23#post-617429 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:24:33 +0000 creativemomma15 617429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: I totally understand and agree! The thing is, my mom brought it up and kept conversation going about it so I felt kind of stuck. My cousins one son is super talkative and helped keep the conversation going too. I would not have talked about it in front of them either. I feel like my mom was kind of pushing me to invite them in the first place. I don't think you are being harsh and I understand because I have definitely felt that way with different situations too.</p> <p>I think we are going to invite them I just don't want DH to feel like I am disrespecting his opinion. But I don't want to be rude to them either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-23#post-617389 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:10:21 +0000 wheres_c 617389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I think that you should only discuss events you are hosting around people if you are planning to invite them. If you werent planning to invite them it would have been better not to talk about it.</p> <p>I think you should invite them....</p> <p>I'm not trying to be rude or harsh....but I've had hurt feelings before when people have been discussing parties around me and then not gotten invites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-23#post-617119 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 11:05:01 +0000 creativemomma15 617119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are throwing DS his first birthday party next weekend. Last week I was with my cousin and my mom and were talking about his party. My cousin has 3 kids and her two boys love my son! I kind of felt like I should invite them since we were all talking about it together but we have only invited immediate family and a few close friends. My DH is okay with inviting them but would prefer not because he doesn't want them to feel obligated to come or invite us to their kids parties but I feel like her kids got excited about it with us talking about it and would enjoy being a part of it. They also see DS more than other extended family and visit when my mom watches him during the week.</p> <p>ETA: my main thing with this is that I don't want to disrespect DH's opinion, but I also would feel rude not inviting them! I know it's best to invite them, I just need some extra support so I don't feel like I am being disrespectful of DH in the process! </p>
