Okay, so there is this huge as party at this rich boy's grandpa's lakehouse and tons of people are going, only problem is the party is on my dad's weekend and my dad won't let me go, i talked to my mom and she said it was cool if i go if i can get my dad to switch weekends with her so that this weekend is her's and i can go. also if i can get my dad to switch with her that means i'll be with my mom on her birthday weekend and i'll be with her on my brother's wedding weekend. any advice on how to get my dad to switch weekends with her he can be a real dick sometimes. thanks in advance

try and tell your dad that your friends are going and maybe he will change his mind.

However, do you not think it would maybe be better giving this party a miss? You said yourself its your mums birthday and your brothers wedding?
there'll be many more parties in the future like..

I think you can use the birthday thing and wedding thing as leverage. Tell him that your Mom wants you to spend those weekends with her and it's not like those weekends are anything important with your Dad. Just say that it's really important to her and to you that your at hers for the birthday weekend and the wedding weekend and that you'll make sure your Dad doesn't lose out on any time with you.

With regards to the party, is your Dad not letting you go because it's his weekend or because he doesn't like the idea of you going? If it's the latter then you should consider whether you should go or not and if you, what will happen if he finds out.

Good luck.

tell your dad everyone else is doing it

Ask yourself this "Who do you value more, your Dad who gave life to you who only wants to spend one weekend with you or some idiots who are having a stupid party?"

what's with all the complaints about the party!?
i think it'd be fun and you'd have a good time.
So if you're set on going, just explain to your dad that you'd really like to spend some time with your mum on her birthday. And if he asks about the party, be honest but just explain how sensible you'll be. xoxo

Maybe you should sit down with your dad and tell him that your mom wants you that weekend because it is her birthday weekend as well as your brother's wedding. If your dad was looking out for your best interest then he would allow you to spend time with your mom.

However, parents want the best for their child. You might not see that now but when you get older you will understand why your parents did certain things.
