My Mum was saying she felt sad because she couldn't arrange a 30th birthday party for me...

wibu to tell her it wasn't her job to arrange a 30th party for me. And it was a bit weird that she thought it was? surely if I was to have a party and someone was to arrange it that was not me then it would fall to my dh or best friend to sort out? I mean I'm going to be 39 not 3.

Disclaimer - am not expecting a party in any way shape or form. Though I may splash out and get a bit drunk merry.

you want to tell her she is a bit late

Jeez I'm not going to be 39. What a typo!

Ahh bless her

Just tell her you'll settle for a party bag Lol

Have you made yourself a year younger for MN?

Cheeky.

I think it's really sweet of her to honest, I wouldn't describe it as weird. I'd be happy to have a mum who cared so much - my mother couldn't even be bothered to attend my wedding and it's vouchers in the post for Birthdays and Christmas

Could she arrange 'a' party and you arrange another one? (The one you actually want!)

The MN age doesn't appear to update. I think my DCs are still foetuses.

Why could she not arrange one? Let her have a go and then tell us all about it

I would flip out if my mum arranged a 30th birthday party for me.

Oh god now I'm panicking that she has! I will be 30 in april and she's usually asked me a million tomes what I want/and what I want to do

I'm off to book myself a hotel somewhere very far away for that weekend.

it is sweet

my mum has to phone me up to ask how old i'm going to be...

I'm pretending my 30th birthday is not happening. Denial is the way forwards.

I've pretty much organised all of my 30th birthday party next month, dp just has to pay for it now :)

I pinched my parents' house for my 30th birthday party. T was great. My friend (top professional person) was sick in the garden. By the time I woke up the next day everything was miraculously clean

Let her do it, I say, weird or not. Enjoy the mummy-love.

I agree, You're still her child whether you are 3 or 30.

That's the thing though she won't do it cos she couldn't afford it, im also a twin and it would be a joint party and I'm 180 miles away from my mum and twin so pretty impossible. But I'd never expect my mum to arrange a party.dh maybe (again won't happen as he can't organise his way out of a paperbag) but not my mum. Tis weird I tell you!
I am lucky she cares I am not denying that.

Might go down the denial route. I am still 29 for another year apparently

Must put ds to bed, back in a bit.
