I have not seen them since July and last night grandma called me and told me about the party but i already have plans to go to a christmas party. . If i go i will see the fam but i will see my dad and we don't speak so that will be funny.
I told mom i am 18 and if i make the wrong choice then that is my problem.

You should go to grand daddy's party.....if you don't go and in a year or so and he isn't around you will regret your decision.
Your friends will be there in 10 years.....Grandpa may not be.
Priorities....being a grown up means making the right decision even though you don't want to......
You need to start now.

If I were you, I would go to his birthday. It's about your granddaddy. Sure it'll be a bit awkward around your dad but you'd be there to support your granddaddy. I think this birthday is more important than a xmas party b/c you'll have future xmas parties while your granddaddy only has a special day once a year and he is of older age. Just make sure the choice you make you won't have any regrets later. Goodluck!

Go see your Granddaddy. You don't have to stay all evening, he will appreciate that you are there even if only for an hour.
You told your Mom you are 18 inferring you are an adult and will make your own decisions. Well an Adult would go regardless of their problems with their own Father. An adult would think of an 80 year old man and his happiness on his day and not selfishly only think of themselves and fun they are missing with friends.
Make a mature decision.

Go to the birthday party. Your grandpa may not live beyond that, and you'll regret that the rest of your life. This is one of those times for you to prove to everyone how mature you are by putting your hatred against your dad aside, and going to that party. You will prove yourself to be even more mature by making things better with your dad.
I made the mistake when I was 18 by not going to a 40th birthday party. The guy died of brain cancer shortly after that. Don't make the same mistake many of us did on here.

Your grandpa is 80, not too many people live long past that with all their mental facilities. I would go, make an appearance let your grandparents know you love them, then continue on later to your other party.
Yes, you are only 18, they are 80, you have a heck of a lot more time typically to party with your friends, then they have to party with theirs.

After what you told your mom, it sounds as if you have already made your mind up. Sad for your grandfather though, as it could be the last chance to spend his birthday with him. You wouldn't have to stay for all the party. Just go and give him your best wishes and cope with your dad being there. I no longer have any grandparents or my father, and I miss them very much.

you should chill with the fam. it might seem like a not-so-fun choice right now, but who knows how many more birthday your grandpa's gonna have. i think it would mean a lot to your family if you went.
you're only 18, there will be plenty more christmas parties. do something fun for new years instead.

My sister and I havent spoken in 2 years but that doesnt affect my parents relationship with either of us and she still lives at home.
Dont let your grandfather suffer for your family arguments - time with both his children and his grandchildren are precious and you can go to a Christmas party when ever you want, there's only so many special grandparents bdays.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes.

I'd go to the birthday party. Your grand parents only live so long, and then they are gone. Even just dropping in for an hour is better then not going at all.

Yes you should go. I didn't go to my grandma's birthday and she died the next morning i rregret not going and you will to if you don't go. I miss my grandma. My aunt and i were't getting along and thats why i didn't go. Don't make the same mistake that i did. be loyal to your grandpa. I dont know what is wrong between you and your dad but mabye tou two will start talking again and not fight anymore. well GOOD LUCK!!!
