Reply to comment by peakpenguins in boyfriend shares a birthday with my mom by lalasbakery

To me the fact that it's a holiday doesn't matter much. Spending it with friends is not something that I want to do. I place more importance on their birthdays and since my entire extended family gets together on the 31st they take the opportunity to celebrate my mom's birthday. I am also very close to my mom, we have a really good relationship.

I get it, but you also now have a boyfriend who may put importance on his birthday and the holiday, so you have to figure out how to juggle things in a way that doesn't make him feel less important.
