DD (DC1) will be 1 next month. Her birthday is on a weekday. I work full time, as does DP. My view is, she is too little to understand what a birthday is, and a party won't mean anything to her. I will be at work on the day itself, and by the time I get home there's only an hour before bed, so that's out. We could do something on the day, but extended family are a long way away and we don't have that many friends in the area.
I was fine with it all, but now I'm starting to receive invites from NCT friends I'm getting worried. She's get presents and cards, but we weren't going to do anything else - is she missing out?! Will I regret in years to come that I didn't give my daughter a first birthday party?!
