If you have a horrible next-door neighbor whose equally horrible family member has just died and they are going to have a get-together in their house on the same day and same time as you're planning to hold a birthday party for your 10-year-old daughter who has invited her friends from school, and you've never done anything special on her bithday before and she has been looking forward to this day for weeks, would you feel compelled to hold the birthday celebration somewhere else despite spending hundreds of dollars in decorations and food and invitation cards? I mean, this next-door neighbor has been horrible to you for years and just because one of them dies, you're supposed to give in to them and be "understanding"? I mean, are they within their rights to call the police if the party were to get pretty noisy while they are holding their after-funeral service mournful get-together?
The party is in the backyard and an extension awning has already been mounted just in case it rains (so has the neighbor's).
