To delay DS birthday

55 replies

user6685 · 08/12/2022 23:06

It's my DS 3rd birthday tomorrow. We have had an eventful week, house renovations taking longer than they should due to unforeseen issues, DS hasn't been well including a A&E visit, the house is still a complete mess and we will have builders in here again tomorrow.
He obviously doesn't know date/days and we haven't overly mentioned his birthday to him. He just knows it's soon. I feel like doing it properly in a couple of days so we can try and make the house more appropriate. Yet at the same time I feel really weird not acknowledging it tomorrow. The issue is if I tell him/say happy birthday to him he will instantly want presents/cake/party.
Has anyone else done this? Am I being overly precious?

I do not understand people on MN. Enough intellect to get a job and enough money to get a kitchen built and raise a child but without eniugh sense to figure something like this out.

But not enough intellect to find a website perhaps? Cake
