Reply to comment by LittleSpice1 in boyfriend shares a birthday with my mom by lalasbakery

And I agree with you. I don't want him to feel like his birthday comes second ever, eventually it will come first. For now I want them to feel equally as important to me and I am having trouble juggling them in a way that makes them both feel good. It's bad enough they have to share with a major holiday.

I also share a birthday with my FIL. Somehow this has never been an issue. Your boyfriend and your mom even have different birthdays. I don’t think you’re making him feel like both of their birthdays have the same priority because you leave his birthday early to start celebrating your mom’s birthday, which hasn’t even started by this point.
