But you are correct, it was YOUR party, you were the host, and it was for husband. If someone is a trouble maker, they do not have to be invited.
The other kids were wrong in inviting him
I agree with both sides (dancing on a razorblade).
IF the mother was hosting the "guests" (children/stepchildren) had no right to invite anyone.
IF the children were hosting they had the right to invite the problematic child.
Why not invite, thereby throwing gasoline on the fire.
BUT should he have been invited - yes, I think so.
Did the other children possibly overstep their bounds? Yes.
On the third hand (?) I'd LOVE to celebrate someone's birthday at a timeshare, presumably someplace involving a beach. Wonder if the children would consider inviting me?
