@cristina49 Sounds fun!

@katrina2017 Ours seem happy with the situation too. I occasionally see party planning questions here or there from other parents and am glad it's not something we have particular stress about. We've been to some fun ones, though nothing too crazy since we're pretty rural.

@forgiven_ent So dorky!

@jennifers60 Oof- two of mine are two days apart right at the end of January. At least the rest have a (small) gap.

@stewartnz The clothes idea is interesting - I have a feeling my kids would be out of those sizes the week after getting them, just to spite me. Mostly they wear hand me downs/used clothes, but we do get them new special clothes for their birthdays if asked as a gift (my son wanted a particular...

@noahmetoyer Funny how the birthday season happens, isn't it? It was like that in my native family too. I'm big on the banners, but I use the same ones each year for each kid (it started because I was broke with my oldest kid, but it's just a joke at this point).

We are in the depths of "Birthday Season" here at our house - one earlier in January, two this past week, one next week, two the week after that, two further into February (8 of 11 birthdays in 7 weeks; its's madness). Our go-to for celebrating is: some decorations in the house, Birthday...

@kaleandcoffee Four isn’t a huge change from three. The adjustment was much easier for us… but there still are costs (in money, energy, attention and so on). However, my advice in general is only have another if you and your partner want to raise another, for their own sake and not solely for...
