Ideally we would like to actually go out for the day somewhere for my birthday as we have young children ourselves. Its not until autumn, the child is going to be nearly 2. Church and function afterwards. They are not religious in any way.

You’re grumpy because the christening is on your birthday. Jeez. Peak weirdness.

Didn’t expect to find the centre of the universe of Mumsnet, but here we are.

Wouldn’t bother me. I’d just celebrate my birthday the day before/after

I don’t agree with christenings but to play “devil’s advocate” lol. They may have been really restricted on dates some churches only offer a few dates a year

You are a grown up. Celebrate another day. You are being childish and unreasonable

100% 👍

What a total non-event. Just go non-contact to save anything so awful from happening again.

Lighteningstrikes · 05/06/2025 22:23

Personally I think you’re being ridiculously selfish.

Does it really matter!?

Book your plans and don’t go to the christening. The fact they aren’t religious makes it a farce anyway.

(being cynical here - is it a sister who doesn’t like you much by any chance?)
