Its my son's first birthday soon and usually everyone makes a huge fuss (day out somewhere then back home for BBQ, party, bouncy castle, cake, decorations, invite the whole family ECT which involves about 30 kids) with my other kids ive struggled and saved for about 6months to afford it and I just didn't want to this time.
It will be the first thing I've planned since being in a DV relationship, I just don't want the hassle of everyone round, especially my ex's family. I can't really afford it anyway after being left in thousands of pounds in debt and paying that off the last year. I've stopped working due to uni.
Now I'm getting phone calls/texts asking when the party is 
baring in mind the only person who actually sees my children regually is my mum.
I've bought him one present, there's only 13months between my kids so they share toys anyway. I'm making a cake and that's it. Maybe farm as it's free. But now I'm feeling really bad :/
Anyone else not make a fuss over birthdays? Espeically as it's his 1st one :(
