Daughter’s Birthday

I know what you mean ! My son doesn’t really have kids his age in the family. So we’re just doing something very small for his bday and talking him to do fun things. Once he’s older and has more friends I plan on doing big parties so he can play with friends ! All she needs is you mom :)

We have met other kids/moms at free events at library and woman’s care center. Our area offers a lot of toddler activities at these places. Hope your area offers similar. Ive also met a few moms from peanut and invite them to meet up at these classes. March is coming up fast! We are having a playdate with one other kid for 2nd bday. Hope you can find something!

I’m glad someone can relate and understand! That’s what I intended on doing something small and fun. That’s exactly what I said when she’s older I can throw big parties with people to invite for her. Thank you your right and vise bersa versa hun! ❤️

Don’t feel bad! First and second birthdays are truly about parents connecting with their support circle and loved ones, not socializing the birthday child. At this age, toddlers haven’t yet developed the skills for real friendships with other little ones.

We are having a birthday party, but it’s mostly adults. No children even close to his age. They don’t really start to socialize until about 3 or later. They may play alongside each other, but not together. I agree with another commenter, it’s mostly about the parents. I see it more as celebrating us keeping us and a toddler alive 😂

We are hosting at a farm where he can interact with some animals. Close family and friends. I think he’ll love the animals and that’s all I’m really concerned about.

At this age I think the party is still more for you which is okay, but they don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t have the same expectation of friends at the party the way we do so they won’t be disappointed. Make it a big family thing or just your immediate fam. That’s okay too.
