I am prepared for didappointments thanks to a childhood filled with violence. My birthday parties were mainly being beaten up with a dog leash or whip before the "fun" started.

This is not what I want for my children. I want them to know they are special and deserve the best. Our family is small, very small just me and my children. They have no family or friends who care beside of us. They can live with it but that doesn't mean they do not need attention or something positive in their lives.

They already are always prepared for the worst, they do not have a very easy life and it does hurt if a child can not make a wish, if a parcel send is stolen and the post laughs about it.

Not one of us will ever have a big party because we do not know people. Being alone on your birthday is not great. Not to my opinion. I know how that feels.

My friend went over with her partner and children and did those things I would have done. I am happy she did that and my daughter had some fun for a short time.

Thanks for your comment and sharing your e experiences. I appreciate it. 🍀💖
