Grace, that’s too bad that you aren’t invited to the birthday party but maybe you can spend some time with a little celebration after the party. Maybe a trip for ice cream? I know from experience (4 granddaughters) that a party with a lot of little kids is a little chaotic for us older people. I did go to the last roller skating birthday but had to take an asprin after. ha ha All the noise and action can be overwhelming. I don’t know how I handled it when my kids were young!
Grace, do whatever you have to do to not gamble. The pain you are going through will be worth it!
