GO Girl, Go Girl, and have fun! The two year old won't know that you are not there. Her parents might give you grief but the child won't.

Just what I would do...take what works for you & leave the rest. |
Feel your pain but growing up with no grandparents I swear I will never miss a special day with my grand children and so far I've kept that promise. GS is 10 Emily 8. But you have to do what you feel is right for you

Assuming you live in same town as grandson or close enough to visit, go spend some time with him and take him a gift. At 2 he will not remember if you were at his party until he is older and sees pictures. Maybe next year you can get a heads up from family if they plan something or just make sure you do notplan to go somewhere that week. God have fun and do not worry about your grandson. Take care.

i would go on my trip , it was planned a long time ago (and it does sound like more fun) and have hubby explain this to the host she should understand
|
Me either! Please tell me how as this would be very convenient :)

I can't be in two places at the same time either. If you know how please tell me. It could be very beneficial> :) |
Early or late birthdays are wonderful.....keeps the party going for days! I am sure his parents will understand :-D

Of course it would time that way. You have had the plans for a year. If it would be hard to delay, if you would lose your downpayments. Is there some reason they cannot change the day or have a small celebration with you later or earlier. they are just going to have to understand.
We didn't have my son's birthday party on his birthday. I actually had it on a Saturday instead of the traditional Sunday this year and will continue to do that because his best friend would get a late start driving 3 1/2 hours home. I decided there was no reason I couldn't be a little more mindful of her schedule. She has never complained over the years. Oh good luck. I hope they are understanding. Tell them the truth. Maybe they will help you arrive at a solution |
