A little back story: Up until last year I used to throw a BBQ for the monster for his birthday, the location changed a couple of times but it was always a good, large, and pretty expensive party. Last year for his 10th I decided it would be his last big party, it was just getting to be too much, so we would do cake and ice cream with each family instead. When I told him this last year he decided to forgo the party bc he wanted a long board that cost about $200 and I wasn't going to buy that and throw the party. Last year he made out like a bandit with celebrations rather than one large party he had a cake and ice cream 4 times!!! plus he got the long board.
This year things are grossly different. Still no big party but we were going to go to Hershey Park and I agreed to take a friend of his with us. Well guess what ... Hershey Park flooded. Unfortunately my child does not seem to understand that this was an act of God and could not be helped. He is so distraught over not being able to go, he is being unreasonable. I have offered a ton of other possibilities but none of them are good enough for him. He keeps screaming that he wants to do something and should be able to since its his birthday weekend but everything I suggest he shoots down. So I say what would you like to do and he cannot come up with anything himself.
Not sure how I am supposed to make him happy at this point in time especially when he is being so hardheaded. All I want to do is lock him in his room for the day! He even said he wants to go back to NM with his father since I am a horrible mom. Yep that's right run to your father where there is no bed for you let alone your own room. This has been a very frustrating birthday and the weekend is far from over. I am sure he is going to throw another fit tonight and I still have to make it through tomorrow. I think I need a drink.
