Am I the a__hole for refusing to make my son who will be 10 in may share a birthday party with my niece by marriage. My Husband and I have been together for 7 years and in those 7 years I asked my son if he minded doing a shared party with my niece to which he always said he didn't mind and I normally pay for the entire party myself but their birthdays are days apart and my MIL has custody of her granddaughter so I have always asked if they wanted to do the party together and she always says yes and then something happens and she can't cover her half of the party so I just pay for it to keep the peace well this week I asked my son what he wants for his party this year and his only response was to have his OWN party because you only turn 10 once to which I said okay done my MIL asked today what are plans was for their party for this year to which I replied that he wants his own party but I hadn't set any plans in place yet and she asked why because it's not fair for him to get a party without her and I told her that's what he asked for and we hung up the phone and she called my husband to tell him what I had said and now my husband is mad and says my son (his step son) is spoiled and a brat and if he doesn't want to share a party he can't have one at all, so would I be an a__hole if I planed his party without the niece or my husband?
