Question for families with multiple children

We have 3 kids. 2 that have out of school birthdays so inviting classmates has been harder so we just ask what they want to do then go out as a family. We've been giving them free reign of their birthday celebration. Last year the summer birthday wanted to do splash kingdom so we all weny

A Unless they specifically ask to do something just with me alone but then the other would get the same option

@Olivia that’s only if IF they were to come and ask u for it to juz b u two

Truthfully it depends on age. So, I have a 10 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. My 10 year old is reaching the point of wanting to do tween/teen things or girl specific things. That said up to this point we did themed birthday parties and my son was including in all the plans. Now, my husband and I have acknowledged that she’s becoming a tween/teen and her interests are about her and her friends and what girls around this age enjoy. So, we have two celebrations. We do a family dinner and take her wherever she wants to go and we do something with her friends. Depending on what she wants to do with her friends he may participate but for example if she wants to go get her nails done, go shopping, have a girl sleepover or whatever he’s not apart of those things. Dad usually hangs out with him and the girls do their thing.

Ok so we have a six under six tomorrow is my sons 5th bday and the 27th is my daughters 6th birthday and at first we agreed to take all the kids to their favorite restaurant which is golden coral to celebrate their birthdays then they came to us this past weekend and asked if we can go bck to Chuck E. Cheese for their birthday so we said since that’s wat they actually askn us to do well do Chuck E. Cheese instead so fast forward to today my husband comes outta the window and says I think u should just take treasure and Todd and leave everyone else home wit me and yall go because it’s their birthday so i instantly say y are u excluding everyone else out and he says bc in June he plans on taking jus Rihanna to disney world and im like ok but wat about the other 5 kids in the house that would like to b apart of her birthday?? what happened to planning birthdays to wat they want to do and including everyone accordingly to what it is they want

@Shay yes otherwise I would include everyone

I ussually include all. Like my oldest birthday was earlier this month. We took them all to target. The oldest got the biggest toys a Mario and Luigi toy that was 40$ together. We got the two younger ones two small Thomas trains and only spend 15$ on them.

They get to pick what dinner they have and if they want to go out to eat they can include or not include whoever they want. We don’t *do* anything outside of that.

Going to Disney vs Chuck e cheese are so different. Why doesn't he want to bring the other kids?

I’m one of four and we always celebrated each others birthdays together. Like dinner and presents opening on the day. Then a separate thing with friends.

I include everyone. We all wanna celebrate together

My kids are 3 and 5 months so I'm still navigating this. For now my answer is A but I would also love to make a tradition of taking just the birthday child out for breakfast once I'm not breastfeeding. But everyone would get the oppourtunity to celebrate by doing something together.

I have young kids still, not old enough to make their own decisions 😂 but in my family, we only had a few brief periods of time when we were like 10-15 years old when we didn’t want to do the “family birthday”, every other year has been a family get together throughout generations now and I intend to make it the same with my kids. If they want to do something specific then yes of course, maybe less presents if we are funding it and it’s expensive but absolutely a family party every year to celebrate that birthday where those who wanna see you can join in!
