Hilarious! Right on sister! I have so many friends with infants and they are already talking about their b-days. I just keep thinkgin…we can’t afford all these baby gifts…I am not a cash cow people. I love your line ” I do not believe in birthday parties for children who are too young to have friends. ” That about says it all. Just because their mommies are my friends, doesn’t mean I need to drag Chloe to all these over priced, over stylized parties. I am with you…..family, cake, bath. No shame in that.

We did very little for Lance for Christmas, nothing for Easter, a few books and a small toy for his actual birthday (which i didn’t wrap), but we are having a large party (large for me is 40-50 people) to celebrate his 1st birthday this weekend. I do not pretend this party his for him, this is MY party to celebrate all three of us making it through this first year, we have mostly friends who have been a part of our lives this last year coming to celebrate with us. I do not plan on doing a party for anymore birthdays for awhile and I believe that a good rule of thumb is you invite as many friends as the child is in age. Well that is my two cents and I need to get cleaning, operation party is in 48 hours!

I agree with you on all counts 100%. My MIL was baffled that we didn’t get an Easter basket for the baby this year. Umm, b/c she’s 6 months old and has no freaking clue, that’s why.Every day I become more convinced we may have been separated at birth.

LOLThis is why, among other reasons, I love you as a parent. You are so not a typical mommy (in a good way! )
