I’m kind of at a loss. I never realized birthday parties were worth traveling across country for.

I didn’t even invite one of my parents to my wedding. It’d be weird to start inviting them to 9th birthday parties.

well having a shitty family is different I guess, but in a functional family grandparents should attend as many of the child's events as they can

My daughter had her maternal grandparents come and her aunt and uncle and cousins. It was a nice gathering. But the disjointed fragments were left dangling in their far off enclaves where they belong. I think my kids will be fine.

depends on the reason but it is suboptimal to say the least, also whatever is wrong with your parents has a high chance of occurring in your kids

It surely is bizarre for my children. On their mother’s side there’s all these people. Cousins, aunts, uncles, even great aunts and great uncles, grandparents.

Then there’s this sense that I come from this weird sort of place that doesn’t exist anymore and is only half remembered. There’s heaviness in the air whenever we’ve gone to see one or another. Things left unsaid. Tension in the air so strong it’ll make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up like you’re inside one of those cherry red plastic tube slides that drops auspiciously into a ball pit. But at Oma’s house the ball pit is a dark labyrinth of sleeping snakes.

Yeah, I live near a major city. they live out in the hinterlands. One is a famer. The other desired a small-town feel and an active senior lifestyle among like-minded head-in-the-sand aging seniors of Shangri-la.

No - definitely only invite other parents who aren't related to your kid - they're definitely thrilled. Bonus points if they're adult friends who don't even have kids the same age - they'll definitely think your kids birthday party is very interesting because you've done such a great job planning it than every other kid birthday party.

Whatever you do, don't invite the grandparents who are blood related to the kids and would actually be ecstatic to attend.

Just because you are blood does not make you a good person or "ecstatic to attend."

I know what "ecstatic" means of course, but I've never considered using it to describe a person's reaction to an event, and certainly not a trivial event such as a 9-year-old's birthday party.

it depends on your relationship but its an obvious courtesy to just not mention it when you speak to them if you/they arent massive faggots.

My favorite wife posted some photos on her Facebook page and this is what set off the whole show. I didn’t mention it to anyone. The grandparents don’t remember my kids’ birthdays and I don’t bring it up either.

Yes they are both alive, but they are separated by many miles and decades and everything that happened in between and what it meant for me and for those we lost along the way is lost in translation somehow.
