Okay, here's the story...
My in-laws, well last year they combined their two kids' birthday into one big celebration. Not so unusual I guess (though I don't agree with it) -- though it gets weirder...
The older ones birthday in 2 months after the younger one.
And weirder yet...
They asked us last year not to buy the kids gifts, but to chip in money to pay for a special bouncy moonwalk thing that the older one wanted at the party. These people have money... so that should NOT have been an issue.
And now weider yet...
I just today got an invitation to the older ones birthday party THIS year. It's scheduled for a few weeks from now. No biggy, right?
Her ACTUAL birthday is not for another three months!!!
Is it just me, or is it completely bizarre to change your kid's birthday to a date you like better??? I have never in my whole life heard of such a thing. Sure, two weeks prior or after I can understand for scheduling reasons, I'll give you that... but MONTHS ahead of time??? This kid is YOUNG, so she is NOT the one asking for this...
My daughter made a funny comment... by the time the kid is turning 9 we'll be celebrating her 10th birthday!
So is it just me?
