My mother-in-law and my daughter both have birthdays close to each other, i.e. two days apart. Given that my daughter is turning one, I would really like to have a special celebration just for her. Still, my MIL insists that we combine their birthdays and have one party to celebrate both of them. Is this appropriate? Are there any other alternatives?
It is natural to want to have a special birthday celebration for your daughter who is turning one. Still, it is understandable that the proud grandmother would also want to celebrate her birthday with her grand baby. If you really don’t want to celebrate them both at one party, then suggest that you have a party for your daughter, and then take your MIL out for dinner with the family. Although the party will revolve around your child, the dinner can celebrate and revolve around both your MIL and daughter, i.e. save the joint celebration for this gathering.
Also, keep in mind that a party for a one year old’s party should last ideally for an hour.
