David Beckham's [Images] professional commitments seem to be hindering his role as a family man as the footballer missed his eldest son Brooklyn's tenth birthday party.

Victoria Beckham [Images] tried to make up for his absence by throwing Brooklyn a lavish birthday party which was attended by other celebrity kids including Gwen Stefani's [Images] son Kingston [Images].

Former Spice Girl Victoria, threw a party at the indoor skate park Skatelab in Los Angeles with plenty of goodies thrown in, while David was playing a exhibition match in Doha, Qatar, halfway across the globe, the Daily Mail reported.

The football star who is temporarily based in Italy [Images] for his stint at AC Milan had also missed his youngest son, three year old Cruz's fancy-dress birthday celebrations two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, 34-year-old Victoria tried her best to keep her young sons happy, as she earlier took them out for a fun ride at the Universal Studios where her three sons, enjoyed a free-fall simulation ride among others.
