My husband wants our newborn have a joint Bday
Need some outside perspective 😥 My baby girl is due in August, the same month as my SS's birthday.
My SS (7) already has two big parties every year—one at our house and one at his mom's. I've always been totally fine with that! But now my partner is suggesting we combine our newborn's 1st birthday party with SS's celebration to "keep things simple."
This is my first biological child, and I really want her to have her own special day. I tried explaining that it feels like her milestone is being overshadowed before she's even here, but he says I'm being dramatic and that it would be "a nice family moment."
Am I wrong for wanting my daughter to have her own celebration? SS already gets two parties, plus we do special family trips for his birthday too. Would love your thoughts 💔


No, it’s not too much. Men just don’t see it the same way we do. Just tell him that’s not what you’re going to do 🤷🏼♀️ This isn’t something I’d budge on, personally. My son was born 2 days before Christmas, I REFUSE to combine his birthday with any type of Christmas party or celebration. His birthday is his own day.
