His Original Email About Birthdays:
In the last few months, it’s been getting more and more difficult for us to get together for birthdays as we are all tied up with our busy schedules. Also, my mom’s health has not been the best.
My dad and I we’re talking about how to make this a little less burdensome on our schedules and still be able to acknowledge everyone’s special day. Our recommendation was to have one party a year for the adults and for one kids. If everyone agreed, the plan was to have the party for adults in March and the kids sometime in August. This would give the family an opportunity to get together four times a year, including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I realize that this has not been discussed with everyone. But, after running the idea by a couple of family members, it looks like not everyone is in agreement. Rather than impose the plan on everyone, we’ll let everyone make their own plans.
We figured that it would be unfair to force anyone to do something they don’t want to do, as long as those plans don’t include having the parties at my Dad’s place or mine.
Hope everyone understands that we were just trying to make things easier for everyone so that everyone can enjoy the gatherings.
Thanks!

I know what you mean! It's so hard to get everyone together in the fam. Let us know what everyone else says.

Are you still interested in having two parties a year.
You and ___ (another one of the brothers) didn't seem to like the idea so my dad and I decided to leave things as they are, remain out of the loop and not participate (???).

Oh no! I didn't say I wasn't interested, I said I still want to have birthday parties for my kids.
My hubby & I have been planning our boy's 1st bday party for the past few weeks & have been so excited about it, I didn't want to give that up! We just wanted you guys to be part of that too.
But if you guys decide to do the two birthday parties a year, we're totally there for those two as well!
