@𝔾𝕚𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 I thought about doing that but then again the day of my sons birthday were doing something just us family. The weekend is the party
@𝔾𝕚𝕤𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖 his family don't like to acknowledge their flaws but blames others
You are not alone. I am also in an interracial relationship and my inlaws have been making things hard. Usually making everything about themselves. They didn't even come to my son's first birthday! My advice to you is what I tell myself all the time. Focus on your kiddo. Focus on making the party about him and his happiness. Make sure your SO is on the same page. I still struggle with this myself. It is always easier said than done. Best of luck momma.
@Lindsay thanks. I guess that’s what I have to do I’ll just ignore their opinions
I definitely understand. I’m also in an interracial relationship and feel stuck in this dilemma often. Our families have cultural differences when it comes to parties and I feel like I try to bridge the gap and can’t ever get it fully right for either side and it’s disappointing. I’ve learned to just let go of obsessing over their preferences and commentary and just plan a freakin party for the child. It’s about them, it’s not about the whiny adults…they can take it or leave it.
I'm in an interracial relationship too & have experienced this. We just openly told our families to sit together and converse. We had to break the ice for them. Now everyone mingles
I am in interracial marriage and when i tell you it’s hard 😂😂😂stop trying me i gave up . I do parties with church community. Its less drama🤣🤣
And then they turn around and make it seem like they’re not the problem
Could you organise 2 separate birthday parties? Otherwise you have to accept that their social skills are not great and that is who they are. 🤷🏻♀️ I would have replied to that FIL that 'I hope so, too!' and he could make a better effort at integrating and getting to know the other side of the family.
