NEVER ENDING TASK LIST
Birthday Parties Are Their Own Separate Mental Load ([link removed])
Does this sound like a scene from your house? Lauren Davidson writes: “It was a Saturday morning, and I was nagging my 7-year-old to finish the birthday card he was making for a classmate while I was trying to find the gift receipt for the present I’d purchased for her. My 4-year-old was whining because he didn’t get to go to a birthday party, and my husband was asking me if we were having lunch there, and if so, did I have any ideas for what he should feed our other kids?”
Yes, it’s time to talk about birthday parties, and just how much space they take up in your brain.
