Birthday party
Show your support
I understand where you’re coming from. I have 3 kids and we’ve moved around a lot so we don’t have a lot of friends where we are. We don’t do parties because I’m not wasting money on a bunch of decorations and crap for nobody to show up. Even though my older two are in school we would only get one or two guests in years past. These days we plan a trip and it becomes a family fun day. We went to an amusement park for my 7yo last month and for my oldest in April we went to a Great Wolf Lodge. I feel better spending the money on a fun day like this instead of on a party where no one shows up. Of course they still pick a cake and get gifts.
It’s like that for us too, this year might be different though because they go to daycare so we are inviting their classes but we will see. If no one shows up then next year we will just do a birthday trip somewhere instead until they get big enough to start school and have friends that way.
Just take the baby out for their bday . They won't remember it anyway.
@Emma I’m probably going to stop inviting people. This will be our last year doing “birthday parties” until middle school. I’ll have a special day with just me&dad and his sister. And MAYBE a small gathering. It’s just hurtful I used to go to a bunch of children’s birthday parties well before I had my own children..
