Birthday Gift Bags

Seriously? Is this normal in your creche?
Normally a child would bring a birthday cake and it would be eaten as the morning or afternoon snack. Gifts for 2 year olds. Gosh the world has become materialistic. Perhaps it's better to wait till the children can remember. Our kids rarely get goody bags from school on birthdays, but there is usually a cake or something else to share to eat.

I would suggest you don't join in. Keep to sending in some biscuits/ buns on the day of your child's birthday for morning or afternoon snack.

Do not join in. It becomes a competition and no-one, including you and/or your kid will win. There can be no winners.

Simply explain to other parents that you don't subscribe to this and let the rest fall into place. A cake is absolutely fine, make sure your kid helps and it looks, well, you know.

You will be surprised who will agree and they will be the ones that will bring up kids to have that set of values.

Or take part.

Oh, and fathers know stuff about kids too. By the way.
