im sorry ,how old is she

How old is your daughter? It's got to be tough having her be sick and not being able to sleep...

Having a special birthday party might do the both of you the world of good...for you it would pull you out of your temporary funk because you would be focusing on your daughter instead of your own worries...kind alike a welcome distraction. But...if your daughter is too sick then perhaps you can postpone the party but still have a bit of special birthday dinner or treat to show her that her birthday is important not only to her but to you as a mum as well.

Besides...kids birthdays are really important. I never had a 21st because my entire family forgot my birthday and as a result I never forgot how stink that day was either and I'm now 34yrs old.

She is three years old, and my hubby here to help for a day and the half. But he won't like the idea that I am decided to keep the party.

1. YES keep the party if she shows symptons before it starts give her some meddies, take some yourself for good measure.

2. Get a nap sometime before, you'd be amazed how much an hour can help sometimes.

3. Breathe.

4. mmmmmm CAKE! cut the cake kinda early in the party, go to presents, let the kids play and once youve scoffed down your 3rd piece of cake itll be time to wrap it up and get some WELL deserved sleep, and remember your daughter is your life, and you are hers, cherish every moment however you feel and know that youre a great mom

Ouch, forgetting the 21 birthday is stinks, I so sorry for you.

My daughter is not very sick at all, no fever, almost no runny nose and almost no cough. That's why I decided to keep the party.

And yes, it is important to me to keep this party, especially because I promiced it to her and she waited it so much.

Good for you on deciding to go ahead with it. I'm sure your husband will understand the importance of the day, he's probably just concerned with your daughter's health and whether it's something that is likely to be passed on to the other kids.

good advice, Melasande, I'm sorry about your 21st b-day; I feel as if I know what u went through; on my 16th, it was terrible! not one to remember, but I made sure that my daughter who turned 16 this past August, had a good sweet sixteen; made me feel better

Ask your daughter about it and let her know how poorly you feel and how much you love her and tell how much you will make it up to her. Give a moment to figure out an anwere and you might be surprised what she says.
