So, what do i do for dd2's birthday when she has a birthday phobia?

[Marne]

Dd2's birthday in 2 months (she will be 5) but whenever i mention 'birthday' she starts shouting 'no, no, no' .

She had a huge meltdown on new years day because i happened to mention it was the dogs birthday.

If i aske her if she wants a birthday she says 'NO!', she keeps asking for a toy she has seen and i say to her 'you can have it for your birthday' and she starts shouting 'no'.

We have a birthday party to go to (near her birthday) and im really woried she will have a meltdown .

So do we just forget her birthday, just buy her the toy and not bother with cake ect?

I think its the whole 'cake and singing happy birthday' that really upsets her but she's happy to watch Dora the explorer have a birthday party on the tv (as they sing in spanish) .

lol Marne im thinking same thing im ove rin East herts so deinte travel lodge premier in stop over

We are in north Dorset so not too far but far enough when you have 2 very excited autistic dd's in the car. I might have to tie it in with our holiday (we are collecting the 'sun' vouchers), dh also has family in the new forest. Travel lodge have always got offers on so worth checking out.
