NBR: Worst Mom Award to... Me!

DS2's 2nd birthday is on Thursday and the party is on Saturday.  I just realized I have only purchased one gift for him (bought it at Christmas since it was on sale) and none of the food, the cake design, favors, drinks, much of anything to be honest.  I bought the invites and sent them out and picked up some plates and cups when I bought the invites so they would match the colors, but I have done nothing for his party/birthday since. 

Bad Mommy!  He is easy going so it wouldn't matter to him, but it matters to me.  Here he is about to become a middle child (no longer the baby) and I am not making his birthday "special."  I will not go off the deep end to make up for it, but I must kick my own a** and get going on the party planning.

    I say no worries, you would only get the award if you forgot until AFTER his birthday. You still have time, so no worries!

    As long as there are people there to sing "Happy Birthday" and a yummy cake he will be perfectly happy!  Thankfully, 2 year olds don't require too much detail for them to consider it a great party!  Be thankful it's not a Sweet Sixteen or something LOL!

    I don't think you deserve the worst mom award for that. I think kicking your kids, not feeding them. locking them in closets, beating horses to death in front of them, and shaking babies all deserve bad mother awards. Not being a little tardy on getting together a birthday party.

    Shucks, if you needed to just go the dollar store and buy some table cloths, balloons, paper plates and cups, confetti and table toppers, and voila! Set up that day. Stop by any grocery store and buy your son a half sheet or smaller birthday cake, ask them to pop on his name, and buy some punch, chips, pretzels, and other snack foods.  Instant party, not a lot of preplanning. I don't understand super posh parties for young children who will only know it happened by pictures anyway! Invitations are understandable, but everything else (besides gifts) can happen the day of the party if needed.

     

    Good luck to you! Don't feel terrible for not having it all together. You're 9 months pregnant, give yourself some slack!
