Friends or Family Party?
Friends or Family party? On New Years I have a dilema... I have a usual family party thing which is always fun. But this year I got invited to a friends party, and it seems pretty big and a lot of people are going to be there! & I don't wanna miss out! Which should I go to ? btw- i'm 14 and freshman in hs. Problem!~ btw.. The party at my friends house is 45 minutes away from the family one.. and i don't think my mom would wanna leave early to take me to the friends party.
Would you rather be at a party with friends or at a family gathering/reunion?
Thanks for asking, Richard. I think the answer may be related to my relationship with my friends and my family. Personally I would enjoy both since I value my friendships and love my family. I am very lucky to have good friends who are extremely supportive and have helped me get through some difficult times which we all have. They are also fun to be with and I thoroughly enjoy their company.My parents were very special and I miss them. They rarely argued and they taught me what is truly important in life. My siblings are also great people who have wonderful marriages and children. We live near each other which is important now that we are aging. Being with them always makes me happy and we do laugh about life's amusing moments. Your question made me think about each event, and I feel that I did not write a good answer. Since I appreciate having all of these people in my life, I would enjoy a party as well as a family reunion. I am glad that I feel that way.
My ex is a friend of my dad and he invites him to the family parties, but I cannot stand. What should I do?
You could have a heart-to-heart with dad and explain the ex’s company makes you uncomfortable and to please desist. If that fails, do the same with the ex. If they both tell you to get over it, you have no other option than to do so or to cease attending the gatherings yourself. Perhaps your dad hopes you’ll rekindle the relationship. Perhaps the ex genuinely cares for your dad and the relationship is important to them both. There are worse things than sucking it up to make your dad happy. Just ignore the ex if you have to put up with him. You may even get to be friends some day but it does sound like he’ll be present for a long time to come and handling the situation with grace would be beneficial for all of you.

Should i go to my friend's birthday party?
so my BEST friend is having 2 birthday parties, one where all her family is going to be there (family party) and the secondf one is where all her friends going to be there (friends party) the problem is if i go to her family party it'll be like im the "third wheel" and it'll be all weird. but if i go to her friends party im not gonna know anyone there since we go to different schools so it'll be all awkard, plus i know my friend is going to keep worrying about me feeling alone and so she wont enjoy her party. not going to either of them is not an option :(
Should I go to a party for a friends kid who never comes to mine?
Only you can decide whether to attend or not. A person should attend another person's birthday party because they love the birthday person and want to help that person celebrate, not because the person does or doesn't come to their own parties. How close a friend can she be if she doesn't come to a party for your child? if she doesn't let you know she's not coming or why she's not? If she's not a very good friend and your children are not friends, then I don't see a reason to go. Maybe it's time to be busy, have a previous engagement, or out of town for the next birthday party. Eventually she'll stop inviting you and you won't have to worry about the decision. That said, look in your heart. Ask yourself WHY you are going. Is it a good reason? Do you really love and care about the birthday child enough to want to celebrate her birthday with her? Do you really want to see and spend time with her family and other guests?
I hate family parties? what do i do?
ok so my mom's cousin invited us to a birthday party and i have to go because it's a family thing but i hate going. i love family gatherings only when the people are the one from my country because my here are almost strangers and that they are mostly just family friends and the point is i have no one to talk to, my mom goes chatting to the other moms my dad goes to the dads and all the kids there (all ages) act way grown up than their age ( their like 12, 13 ,14....6, 8 etc) my parents force me to socialize with the other kids and when i do come to them they act like i'm not even there, i hardly know them (because they all live together on the same town and my family hardly visits their town) their sometimes even sarcastic to me ;___; seriously, i hate tagging along with them i'm honestly not interested in what they do but it's either that or i sit by myself and the parties last for like 6-7 hours or something sometimes i feel like crying when i go to this parties is there anyway i could get out of this or is there anything that i can do to make my self look busy
What do you do when your group of friends have a party and you are not invited?
I went through the exact same thing during college, and I know that it’s not fun, especially when the people who are supposed to be your friends deny anything that is going on.I don’t know if this happened just the one time, or if it’s a recurring thing that you don’t know how to handle, but maybe try talk to someone about it. If they disregard how you feel, and tell you it’s nothing, then it’s up to you to change the situation. Maybe find some people who are really friends, or just find your way through it all until you aren’t surrounded by them on a daily basis.As for me, I took both options. I still hung out with the people who left me out of things, because the person who I thought was my best friend was in that group, and I found a better group of friends who actually want to be around me, and enjoy my company.Now that I’ve left college, guess who I keep in touch with?It sucks when it feels like people are going behind your back, and I know that it can feel like you’re on your own, but it does turn out okay in the end, even if it’s just a minor thing.I hope things turn out better for you than they are at the moment, though, because it can be lonely sometimes.
