Planning toddler B-day, wife is killing me...Kinda Long

Find a good divorce attorney.

Fucking LOL

Do a Handy Manny theme.

[Shaggin Wagon]

Well lets slow down a little, dont want to get a divorce over the birthday planning and this is really the only "issue" we have on an annual basis.

If I were to go running off every time I had a conflict I would be single and 80 years old in no time...no one wants to die alone much less have their kids pick whom they want to live with, all problems have a solution

Not to be gloom and doom, but here's your signs...

Do a Handy Manny theme.

That is racist.

[line-em-up]

If you have a fence, put a Texas flag on one side and a Mesico flag on the other. Then, have the have them race over the top to see who can get over the fastest and get deported back to the other side. Whoever gets the most deportations, wins.

Mexican theme sounds pretty good. Is it super important to you, either way? It obviously is to her, so why not let her have this? Tell her you'll let her have her way because it's obviously super important. Heck, she may even feel bad after that, and that gives you the upper hand. Next time something comes up that really is super important to you, remind her of this. On the other hand, if you put your foot down over something this trivial, she will be the one using that against you next time it's her "turn" to win the argument.

And the being a dick to women thing works on some chicks all the time, and perhaps even all chicks some of the time, but a really badass chick with few drawbacks won't put up with that shit forever and/or they will get horny and cheat really easily when some dude comes along and tells them how pretty they are.

You are fighting a heavily one sided battle, especially to a Mexican woman lol.

Took me awhile, but I finally learned it's best to just let her choose the theme and also give a few ideas here and there so I don't get the "You don't even care" speech.

[Gtracer]

Jluv, AAG get it, I really came for some amazing ideas. Hard reset, Alamo themed bounce house type shit and again, dfwm delivers.

And maybe, just maybe deeeep, deep down inside I gained a little perspective...or I have a mean shit brewing

Though I have seen that attitude slip out in her tone...as sweet as she wants to pretend. I think Henry took the easy road, giving up and taking the white woman, bahh!!

First realize that you really shouldn't care about what theme there is for a three year old's party.

Then bargain away that worthless chip you have for something you want. A blow job every day for a week or whatever....

"Ok Mexican theme it is but when everyone leaves you are giving me a handjob with that nacho cheese...."

[AdRock]

Fuck it. Go with the mexican theme. Rent a Border Patrol costume. Call everyone chico, el guapo, paco, and beaner. Get a kiddi pool and have a contest to see who can get through it the fastest. Dress your kid up like cheech or chong. If it seems far from politically correct right now, then go all out and see just how far you can push that envelope.

Amen! When He is 12, fight for a party you want. Scratch that, let mom handle that too, make your mark on other dates.

[idrivea4banger]

You're fucked for now. Quit making a big deal about it. Let her have her day. Then when you want something later on that's meaningful to you, you'll have the upper hand. Plus you'll get fucked like there's no tomorrow for going with her theme; of course after a few chelas have been consumed.

[Sean88gt]

At that age, a kid's party is for the parents. Quit over-thinking something he won't remember.

[mustang_revival]

Lots of good advise in here, I'm glad i'm single.

Give the chuckecheeze for 15 budget +50% to your wife because that is the minimum figure you will spend on your mexican themed party. You should give it a theme relative to the age group of the kids, even if it is simple like "Draw your favorite pinYatA" or "who can get explosive diaRreA"

For the adults, ask them to bring a dip or little liquor bottles.
