Stand your ground HF. Family traditions are important. The same thing will just come up NEXT year, so stand your ground.
Brunch for all is a great idea.
If SD wants dad to herself, maybe they can plan something for another day, or if it gets ugly, then let SD go to brunch w/Dad by herself, offer to do ballgame all together, and supper just with you 4.
That seems fair and equitable to all parties and maintains the special dinner.
Its a shame to lose the brunch, but it might be what you have to do....
Thats my fatheaded thots as an objective observer...
Hope this can work out w/out too much unhappiness.
