I don't want the hassle, drama or expense. I want to celebrate the day these little boys entered the world without anyone upset about how it is scheduled. I know people will be pissed at me either way. But screw it! Maybe everyone will get their priorities in line by the time Jake's birthday comes around.
My mom did send me an email apologizing. But it was one of those, "you don't understand me, I wasn't putting the friends' birthday ahead of the boys'. yada yada yada" type apologies.
She is who she is and I can't change her. So I've learned to work around her weirdness and enjoy the parts of her I can enjoy.

I know how you feel! Things have finally gotten to the point that we have started inviting my mom to things again. We had Christmas all together for the first time in a year. Even though she still won't tell me she loves me. Oh well, I still love her and she's not going to change so I should except her for who she is.
Can't believe the boys are going to be 1 already. Time flies.

Just ENJOY the day - it's all about the kids,and you celebrating them. I really cannot believe almost 12 months have gone by! They're adorable. Hopefully, future birthdays can include more of the family again. If not, they'll know how loved and special they are just with the immediate 5 of you gathering for any of the boys' birthdays!
You'll enjoy this one more this way, I hope!
