Potentially giving birth, Xmas and a kids birthday in the same week £

[Whattheactual20201]

Ahh I am stressed this year 🤣
I am potentially being induced the week off Xmas but only recently discovered I was pregnant so I mean we have a very short time to prepare.
Then there is Xmas and I have 2 kids and then my DC 13 has his birthday the same week to 🤣
Let’s add covid in to the mix with a clinically extremely vulnerable 7 year old
I’m about to explode haha !

I’m still shook over your original thread. I think just buy your existing kids a couple of small presents for Christmas online and make it up to them at a later point. Don’t push yourself and let your partner make Christmas dinner if you will be home for it. The birthday probably does need a bigger present but maybe the 13 year old can be told a budget then research online and say what they want.

Please post a link to the original thread! I wonder if it’s one where I posted about possible pregnancy I found out I was pregnant with 6 weeks to go, it really does happen!
Delegate as much as humanly possible.
13 is old enough to be happy with some presents and a cake and would understand why a birthday might be lower key than usual I would think?
Do you have someone to share the burden with? Can you ask for an induction the week after? Never been induced, no idea if you can make specific requests!
