“Should I Stick to My Son’s Birthday Wish or Get a Second Cake for Peace?”
Lexi writes to The Andie Summers Show:
“My 5-year-old son’s birthday is coming up, and he wants a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It’s his birthday, so I said yes. My mother-in-law overheard this conversation and said she doesn’t like chocolate cake and suggested that we should get something we all like.
My son responded, “It’s not your birthday, so you don’t get a say.”
I know that would normally sound disrespectful, but I had recently said the exact same thing to my son when he attended his friend’s party. He didn’t like the cake flavor, and we discussed how the birthday person gets to choose their cake flavor because it’s their special day.
I explained that to my mother-in-law who wasn’t hearing it and called my son a spoiled brat. My husband tried to talk me into ordering his mom a cake just to keep the peace. I think giving in to her sets a bad example to our son. Should I stick to my guns or get my mother-in-law her own cake?“
