Serious question...My wife has been nagging me!

[curling]

I was wondering how you would work in your freeway wheelies in this thread. I honestly didn't think you could do it.

Well that is what you get when you underestimate me. don't let it happen again.

invite the other kids so your kid gets more presents. then when your kid is invited to their parties, move to a new town

OK not nagging but asked me twice about it. I call that nagging. First a little primer. I'm not much of a social person. I don't like going out to parties with other people, over there house for dinner, etc... I like to stay home and relax.

My daughter's 3rd birthday is coming up and my wife wants to invite a tone of people out to a Kid's Playground and food place where they throw parties. I don't mind that at all, BUT.... when we invite 30-40 people and their kids, they WILL be inviting US to THEIR kid's birthdays and stuff. I do NOT want to go every other week to these parties. Trust me, they'll be one EVERY OTHER WEEK!

Her last 2 birthdays were in our house and we invited the immediate family, my side and her side. No uncles cousins, friends, etc. Just us. That was about 15-25 people. It was very nice and relaxed, that's the way I like it, low key and comfortable. I tell my wife she'll be opening up a can of worms if she invites all these people.

What do you think? Should I invite everyone or should I stop having sex? lol jk

Stop being a douchebag... Has it crossed your mind that maybe your daughter will enjoy being at all of these birthday parties. Kids like to play with other kids. Stop thinking about yourself and think about your kid man. I love taking my son to birthday parties so he can socialize with the other kids. He gets to play doctor with the girls, beat up the little boys till they cry... Mean while I'm talking to all of the mothers in the party about parenting and laundry detergent. Some of them are single, or they have girlfriends who are single.

Time to go buy a present... Where to go... I hate this stuff.

Go to Toys 'R Us find something your daughter would like. Get a different color.

We came to a compromise. We will invite just the immediate family for a Saturday, have dinner and cake etc. Then we're inviting a couple of friends over with their kids on Sunday. The neighbor's kid is invited as well. My daughter"s "Best friend" as she calls him. lol The Sunday thing will be at this KID's Party place, just the few of us and kids, then we'll go back to our house and have a dinner there. Just a buffet style thing, maybe even pizza for the kids and stuff. Cake of course.

I like that idea a lot because I'm not one to invite people I only see once a year and stuff, just for the sake of "throwing a party", I'm very comfortable with the people that we ARE inviting now and they have kids that love to play with my daughter.

All is well now. Thanks everybody.

I have to go make sex now.

glad it all worked out!

just remember, if you invite a bunch of people to a bday party, and you get invites, you aren't obligated to go. They are just doing it out of reciprocity. if you show up or don't it probably doesn't matter so much, unless these people are close friends. acquaintences have their own group coming to the party that they want to see, the rest is "nice to see you" but you guys are filler/present bringers.

Would you have to go to all the parties? I mean usually they are like child and mom, and the mom gets to hang out with her friends? or are they usually mom and dads at all the parties?

dude, pop a few perk or vics have a couple of beers. invite them over but stand ur ground and dont make it an all day affair. and let ur wife bring her to all the other parties...dont get too involved.. pick up the slack in other ways.. i been there guy.

 

[BUBBLES]

when its your turn to go to theirs you make up an excuse and your wife will have to go insead of you
