First birthday hijack

Katw

Post to vent...😭

So my nephew (husbands side) was born 2 years ago on dec 11th. I got pregnant and was due dec 8th the following year with our baby girl.

My brother and sister in law planned to have our nephews first birthday party on dec 9th last year. Which is whatever. My thinking was well his birthday isn’t until the following Monday so you could’ve had his party the following weekend since you’ve asked my mother and father in law to do all the cooking. And if I’m in the hospital they will be torn on where to be.

But that all worked out! We had our baby on our due date, the 8th. My husbands parents were able to be at the hospital for us and pull off cooking for their party too. We just obviously weren’t able to attend.

So this year, our baby is turning one and her actual birth day is on Saturday the 8th. Her party has been planned for months and I sent out invites to everyone the last week of October so the date is very much known.

Last night, we got a text from my sister in law that they are throwing in a party for my nephew the same day. From 12-2 and our party is at 4.

We obviously cannot make it with getting everything done for our own daughter. But what bothers me is the lack of respect. Now my husbands whole side of the family will have just left a birthday party to come to ours and probably won’t be hungry again in just 2 hrs for more food/cake.

I mean it’s not that Saturday is just her party day but it’s her actual first birthday that day. I don’t know...I’m disappointed.

If you read all of that, thank you! Rant over.
