SS Bday Party Anxiety! UGHHHHH! | Step Talk

So....DH wants to throw his kid (SS11) a bday party at our house. I'm dreading every last second, detail and moment of this.

My hangups include but are not limited to:
I can't stand SS
I can't stand BM & some of her family members
I can't stand throwing parties
DH doesn't know sh*t about throwing a party

The thought of BM in my home for the first time ever to attend a bday party for HER bratty kid is apaulling to me. I don't want to do sh*t for this kid for his bday, he doesn't deserve a party, he gets bad grades, has behavioral problems and is selfish, nothing is ever good enough for him. This kid doesn't even acknowledge my existance or have any ounce of appreciation for what I do for him... the thought of wasting my afternoon working to celebrate this lil bastard is really killing me. DH is clueless when it comes to throwing parties which leaves most of the responsibility on me, because quite frankly BM isn't about to step into my house acting like she's hosting a party in my house. This whole thing sux major balls.

I had to have my bestie talk me off the anxiety cliff. She suggested that I devise a plan, clearly state my boundaries and limitations and just compromise and go thru with it for DH and do not look at it like Im doing it for SS. She said she would help me and that this is an opportunity for me to shine as a SM and show everyone (all the haters) that I have class and what kind of woman I am.

I guess that is a positive way of looking at it. I told DH that my personal requirment is that I be heavily medicated i.e. zanex, mj or vicodin. LOL! I also indicated that BM is NOT allowed to invite the entire world and that I'm not comfortable with strangers in my home. That she will be given a # of people she can invite and that its not negotiable.

I've attended a couple bday parties that BM has thrown for sk's and this trik is the type of broad who invites the entire ghetto a$$ football team of SS and all their scandalous overzealous parents and additional kids. They single handedly trashed BM's friends house where she threw SS party last time. I advised DH that it will not be that kind of party over here at my house! No kids inside the house! no going up stairs or running around the house, it must all stay outside unless for the bathroom. No one is allowed to go upstairs to play in the game room or bust out the xbox, PERIOD. also NO PINATA! SORRY, thats just more trash to pick up and I dont want a bunch tween boys with overloads of testosterone waiving a bat or wooden stick around anywhere in my yard! NO THANKS! Also his bratty kid will be home before and after the party to clean, set up, breakdown, and clean again!

UGHHHHH I HATE THIS! the only good thing about it is that this is the LAST kid bday party that will be thrown! The kids are all hitting their teens now and were done wit this crap! Don't get me wrong, I have a BS11 that I've thrown bday parties for, I Have been doing this for a long time and have it down to a science, I've thrown weddings, bacholorette, baby showers, bday, you name it. ITS A LOT OF WORK! A LOT! I don't mind putting in work for those that appreciate the time, money and effort that goes into pulling off a successful party, but for those who don't even respect me or acknowledge my existance, I have a hard time with this!
