question
Hi, This is a query regarding little one's upcoming 1st year birthday celebration. My husband and I are at either ends of it. He does not want to celebrate it and I want to throw a party to thank all the people and above all show our little one how much he's loved. I'm upset with my husband because we've had a really rough time since we were pregnant and had lots of family issues. We've just managed to come out of this together (yes we were thinking of separating). There were lots of compromises made from either side but more so on my side and both of us agree. I quit my job, I followed traditions (I was brought up with none), supported his career and gave up many comforts to ensure that we could hold onto this relationship. I'm hurt and disappointed.

1. Am I wrong in asking for a celebration? (No we did not have a baby shower or a honeymoon or welcoming the baby due to stained family relationship)

2. Am I being a horrible person? Are my expectations too high? I seek my husband's support but instead he chooses his side of the family time and again. It hurts too much. I've gone to the point where I begin to believe I'm depressed (which I know I'm not) and doing this just for fun!
I do not have people I can discuss this with and felt like asking here because I know I will not be judged. Pls understand my need to go anonymous. Looking forward for your experiences, guidance and support.

Thanks in advance..

P.S. I don't mind if you take any one's side. Just putting hurtful thoughts out. Yes, the villains are around and I can't do much. The only promise he's made so far is that there will be no interference in the upbringing of our child.

Sit and discuss, it's nothing wrong to have a party. Few near and dear ones won't harm. Do not fight or argue, but put it in a good way. And about your career, I don't think you have to leave it for anyone's sake. As your baby is going to be 1 year old please think of going to office.

Hey dear ...this happens many a times. Every one has their own perspective.<br> But we need to sit and discuss the reasons behind our decision. .As to why ?? If he doesn't want a party there has to be a valid reason and could be discussed coolly..<br> I understand why you want to celebrate and anyone else in your place would love to but again if after all that spending of money and celebrations you are not happy and it has a negative impact then doesn't make sense. <br> I would suggest just 3of you go for a small outing for two to three days and have a nice celebration in a good destination ...<br> Just talk it out with your husband as to why no party and then amicably decide ..after all it's all about being happy together and creating good memories...<br> My best wishes ..
