Dh and i are returning to my country of birth with our 2 year old and 5 month old for a 4 week holiday in feb. While we are there my 2 year old turns 3. My dh suggested we have a party here before we go so his family still get to celebrate. I agree that doing something with his family (who are lovely btw) is a good idea but would prefer to do it when we get back. My sister has never met my children and mum and dad haven't seen 2 yo since she was a tiny baby and i want her to have the main celebration with my family. Am i being silly?

Errr yes I think you are. Have a wee tea party with his family and then make a day of it with yours.

Yes, celebrate twice.

Why does it matter if its before or after the holiday?

I suppose you're right. Just didn't want dd to feel she'd had her main birthday already. As i type that though i realise i mean me! I think i'm over sensitive as my family haven't been able to share any of the milestones so far. What 3 yo has ever questioned why they are lucky enough to have two parties i suppose!

In that case YABU.

TBH as long as the party revolves around her, she won't think of one being the 'main' one.

as the party revolves around her

Sorry wasn't implying your dd is spoilt or anything but most 3 years olds don't really care about stuff like this as long as the world revolves around them. :)

Arghh! You're right i know! Just tricky being so far away which makes me over sensitive. Thanks for the reality check!
