I’m kind of at a loss. I never realized birthday parties were worth traveling across country for.

I mean it would be weird to expect them to come but they should have an open invitation certainly

I didn’t even invite one of my parents to my wedding. It’d be weird to start inviting them to 9th birthday parties.

well having a shitty family is different I guess, but in a functional family grandparents should attend as many of the child's events as they can

My daughter had her maternal grandparents come and her aunt and uncle and cousins. It was a nice gathering. But the disjointed fragments were left dangling in their far off enclaves where they belong. I think my kids will be fine.

depends on the reason but it is suboptimal to say the least, also whatever is wrong with your parents has a high chance of occurring in your kids

It surely is bizarre for my children. On their mother’s side there’s all these people. Cousins, aunts, uncles, even great aunts and great uncles, grandparents.

Then there’s this sense that I come from this weird sort of place that doesn’t exist anymore and is only half remembered. There’s heaviness in the air whenever we’ve gone to see one or another. Things left unsaid. Tension in the air so strong it’ll make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up like you’re inside one of those cherry red plastic tube slides that drops auspiciously into a ball pit. But at Oma’s house the ball pit is a dark labyrinth of sleeping snakes.
