Birthday Party
I need advice. Am I over reacting or do I have big feelings about this? My husband (31m) and I (28f) are throwing my stepson (9m) his birthday this year. Kiddos birthday is this upcoming Sunday, May 24. It’s not during our weekend so we pick kid up 8am day of bday and Bm comes and gets him Monday (no school b/c Memorial Day) at 8am. My husband and I booked a little party table at one of the local arcades this Sunday. We got the invites out to his friends last week. Well, last night as I am cleaning out kiddos backpack, I see an envelope filled with what looks like invites. I pull them out. They are invites that BioMom made. She is throwing a bday party this Saturday May 23. These invites were passed out Wednesday May 20. Kid is inviting all the same classmates and friends. I was pretty shocked. My first thought was “the parents of these classmates aren’t going to want to drive to the second party when they JUST celebrated that same kids bday, the day prior.” She knew about our party.i am feeling lost in the sauce with these feelings. I mean what kid WOULDN’T want two parties. Every bday party in the past was with the parent who had the kiddo on his bday (last year she threw a party and the year before we did). One parent already reached out and was confused. They thought we changed the party location and date from Sunday to Saturday.
I want to shout into the void. I am worried kids won’t come to his actual birthday party. Ugh.
