[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the angst about the birthdays. I have a conflict such that I have been on work travel for half my 10 yo’s birthday. I always have an elaborate family and separate friend party....just on other days when I can be there. He doesn’t care I am not there on the actual day at all. I call and his dad is there to take him somewhere special for dinner. I can FaceTime him. It really is no big deal to kids and good to teach them a birthday can be a moveable event and still be fantastic.[/quote] Half? You are in the minority in raising him to believe the actual date doesn’t matter. Most parents celebrate the birth *day*, even if the party is at a later time. I was born March 1, it wold be a big deal if my mom consistently missed the day, or had me celebrate on March 2, 3, 4th...whenever she could fit me in.[/quote]
