When your kids' birthdays are 5 days apart, is it practical or frowned upon if you host a joint birthday party?

Very practical

It’s not frowned upon but I would go out of my way to make them feel individually special. They didn’t ask for their birthdays to be 5 days apart. And yes ask them if they would be ok with it. Remember its their birthday. Not yours. Do what they say. (Not talking in a rude way)

We bundle birthdays in my family for the big celebrations like parties. The day itself we personalize.

Are you gonna give the kids the money that you saved by doing a joint bday? If so, sounds like a great idea! I might have to borrow a page from your book 😉

Ask kids? If they are ok sharing.

I do it for birthdays a month apart. I asked the older one and he did not care.

It just makes it easier to get family together plus one less party to get ready for and cleanup.

2 days shy of 2 years apart. Joint parties until they're sick of each other.

I have two that are on 20th and 23rd of the same month. They alternate years for who’s having a party. We always have a family dinner and cake

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status.
