I'm sorry I don't think I understand, unless you really can't stand your mother how can you not find some time to spend with her??? Mine's dead and I'd give anything to have a day with her, she won't be around forever you know.

Unless there relationship is really crap I just don't get this! I can't help but think that isn't the case because otherwise there would be no need to ask the Q! This one gave me a lump in my throat you know.

If you parents are divorced, and your father dosn't want her there its his responsibility to let her know not their child's... no matter if the event is your birthday or not. you need to do two birthday dinners- separately. win/win

Let's see. How to tell the woman who carried you inside her body for 9 months and gave birth to you that she can't come to your birthday party?
How about "you can't come to my party because I'm too busy thinking about myself to worry about your feelings too". How does that sound?Like (2)

unless you hate her too, make time to see her. there must be something you can shuffle around.

Just tell her the truth

I would need alot more information before answering this question. I dont know your family history well. I dont know the reason why your family"hates" her and if you feel the same way.

Whose birthday is it anyway? Do you want your mother to be there to help you celebrate your birthday? If the answer to this second question is yes, then inform your other guests that they shall have to deal with the situation as best as they can. Everyone must drop their middle school behavior and act like adults. Happy Birthday. Celebrate well.

I've got to go with the truth. Mom, I enjoy having you around and appriciate you wanting to celibrate with me. For dinner, we don't want the tension of having you around.
Have her come early or wait the 3 weeks and have just a simple thing with her.Like (1)

Poor mom...
Sure is a good thing she isn't really important in your life.
You have clearly chosen your dad's side and being to busy
is nothing more than selfishness on your partLike (1)

If you really hate her...I don't see the problem. Oh, you don't hate her? Just tell her the truth, you bring down the whole crowd and I would like a happy bday, or something like that. Be honest or lie...

I'm guessing your mom and dad are divorced? And what? she is soooo horrible they can't be civil to her for one afternoon? Or is it she who can't be civil to them? If the first is the case, then you tell them that you want her there and they had better be nice. If it is the second, then you tell her that you don't want her there because she will spoil the day for you.
