To send my dd to preschool on her birthday?

[lollyheart]

I feel a bit guilty

oh no, she would miss out by not being in on a birthday. they will sing to her and make her feel the real centre of attention. noone should miss this!

no, it is a good place to go, they will sing to her, it will be great.

Kids love going in on thier birthday. At dd's pre school they sing happy birthday and give them a card. I would feel guilty not sending her in!

yanbu, dont feel guilty she will have a great time and you can do something special another day, so she will get 2 days of fun

she'll love when they all sing happy birthday

DD had fun on her birthday at her preschool. I had to sort out all the party bags for a mini fairy cake, sweets and a toy for all the kids as its what we do.

YANBU , they tend to do nice things and a lot of fuss of thre Birthday boy/girl.

Thanks everyone, i feel better now
We made fairy cakes last night for her to take in,she was excited about that.

I was worried about this too. My ds will be at nursery on his birthday next week and I feel guilty because I'm at home on maternity leave. I've decided that ds will have a better time at nursery, and I'll make some cakes for him to take him. He can go in a bit later so that he can open his presents, but I think he'll have more fun playing with his friends than he would at home with me as I spend most of the day at the moment trying to get dd to nap and bf her.

Still feel like a terrible mother though.

Can i just ask what yanbu means?

Oh don't worry.

In my daughter's first year at pre-school the classes were tiny (14 children, and of course several were away ill every day) so they had a birthday party on a child's birthday - I sent in cakes, drinks, cups, plates, candles and party bags. It saved me giving a party at home and DD loved it.

I have the opposite problem! Ds's birthday is at the end of August, so he'll never get to go in and have a fuss made of him on his birthday.I sort of feel he's missing out.

YANBU = You Are Not Being Unreasonable

YANBU, I sent DS1 to pre-school on his birthday and he had a great time - it's usual for the birthday child to donate a book, go round a "sun" the number of years the child is, and s/he is encouraged to take cake too.

They really made a big deal of it!

YANBU.

when she is at school, you wont have any choice so you might as well get used to it!

sure she will have a brill time

everyone should sing happy birthday to her

we take cakes in to give out at break/snack time
