HELP! I am a single parent to a great 8 year old daughter. I co-parent with her father, whom I was never married to. He and his family are Catholic. My family and I were baptised, but with the exception of me, no one goes to church and really don't consider themselves Catholic. My prob... Since his family is Catholic I decided to allow him to celebrate our daughter's 1st Holy Communion the day of and I will be doing it two week later for my family. I have never received communion and never seen a 1st Holy Communion either or gone to a celebration.
1. I have no idea what I am doing.
2. My mom, whom I live with, is driving me nuts and continues to yell/argue with me over everything. How I messed up her celebration, I am doing everything wrong, and implys all the time that I am weak and not a good mother for handling things the way I have...
3. I havent even covered the dresss! Oh, the drama over the dress... both grandmothers are crying over that one!
so here I am, asking complete strangers... What should I have at my kid's celebration? Since its two weeks later, I want it to be casual and fun... a celebration... I know there should be a cake, anything else? Lunch food? Ice cream?
I have no idea... any ideas and support would be so appreciated.... oh, I am unemployed as well, so budget ideas would be great as well.
Thank you, my fellow Disney Family!
