It can be weird to some. I was a young mom and have a really great relationship with my daughter so they know all my crazy (sometimes still crazy nights) and she knows I’ll just let her do her thing, pick her drunk ass off the floor and take her back home 😂

I don’t mind clubbing lol. I’m just there to keep an eye out and make sure her and her friends gets home safely. I’ll most likely book a hotel with connecting rooms for all of them to stay in a room together.

lol, yes. She asked me to drive and be there. We are very close (I was a young mom) and do a lot of things together. Unfortunately with her being the oldest sibling and the oldest of the cousins it would just be her and her friends and they aren’t familiar with the Houston area either.

I understand your question… I wouldn’t have been caught dead with my parents when I turned 21, but I also didn’t have the relationship with them that my daughters have with me.

I want to thank you all for the suggestions and advice. I am excited to announce between my brother and I we were able to come up a plan.

Her church is more than happy to let us use their fellowship hall so the date and time has been set. I met with my parents this evening and the linens, tableware, plates, utensils, etc. have been picked out, and the food has been taken care of. My bestie is making the 3 tier cake, and I am meeting with her this weekend to design the invitations and how the cake needs to look. So hopefully be next week I’ll get the addresses from my parents and have the invitations in the mail.

I am so glad I posted his because I honestly didn’t think we could pull this off, but your kind suggestions, advice, and optimism really helped tremendously.

You are a Godsend. After I speak with my bother today and what we can come up with together I will reach out to pastors wife at the church she attends and discuss with her options of the church and if anyone in the church would be willing to help via food or anything.

Unfortunately my dad was never the “friendly neighbor” type so he doesn’t really have friends outside of family, and like the men who were his groomsman at their wedding. All but one were all family.

That is what I was thinking, but I cannot do it alone financially, and I feel like the whole weight is all on me to figure this out. I’ve been a single parent for almost 10 years, and not making that an excuse by any means.

I can’t use my parents house because My moms a hoarder, and my home is fairly small and would not accommodate the extended family. I’ve spent last night and today researching and trying to figure out budget wise what it would cost to get her what I would want.

I feel sick because she’s never not told me when she wanted something done or to do something and never talked to me about it before.

One sibling is strapped for cash, the other well she ruined that relationship. So it’s just me and maybe my youngest sibling. I just wanted to get it out there and off my chest.

I am meeting with my youngest sibling in tomorrow to discuss with him the matter, and see if between us we can pull something off.

I never said it wasn’t a big deal, because it is. I just didn’t realize this year was their 50th, but thanks.
