Brother and sister parties

The siblings need to understand that when it’s their birthday, it’s their day. So if they want a princess party, that’s what she’ll have and then on your son’s birthday, he’ll have what he wants. Don’t make a thing of it, and I’m sure he’ll join in anyway.
Do you keep him there or arrange for him to do something else ? The other thing is all friends are girls from school
Maybe he could bring a friend to the party?
@Lucy yes I was thinking that too !
Siblings should definitely be taught that birthdays are for the birthday person. They get their own birthday, not everything has to be shared. The younger that lesson is enforced the better they will be at understanding it.
It’s an important lesson to learn so I would do the princess party and your son will learn no presents for him etc It will be his turn soon :)
I dont see why your boy won’t be able to enjoy a princess party. How old is your daughter? I’m sure your son will love it as there will be lots of cakes and fun and sparkly things. He’ll just feed of the excitement from the other kids.
I think that if I invite a friend or cousins of his might be less intense! 12 girls and just him
My friend had a princess party and also invited boys from her class who also attended. The kids were aged 5, they all joined in and seemed to enjoy it.
Maybe him and a friend /cousin could go as a prince, a dragon, a knight etc
He can play along and be a prince, a horse, a dragon or a frog. What age are them?
5 girl and 3.5 boy
Personally I would just be planning a party on what my daughter wants/likes, it’s her birthday and he’ll get his day too…
