@maique Haha. My sister’s birthday is less than two weeks after mine, so every year, my mum (if she was planning ahead) would insist on a joint birthday party, or (if she wasn’t) would have my birthday party, get exhausted and fed up, and tell my poor little sister she couldn’t have one that year 🤣 Either way, us kids felt ripped off!

@maique Happy birthday to tinyMovieStar!! Definitely relate, I have four brothers, so somewhere along the way, my folks decided it was easier just to pick a day in the summer and celebrate all of us all at once, parents included. Definitely not a bad way to go.

@maique if anything the warning are understated. Last weekend my boys came down with a stomach bug the night before they were supposed to go a friend’s birthday party. We kept them home but saw the photos: bounce house and inflatable water slide. 🙈
