I know it’s hard to not worry about what other people will think – here’s a quote from the post that might help: “Don’t let the pressure of how everyone else does things confine you to a mold you might not fit in.” I don’t think people will judge you for wanting to make sure your son gets to celebrate his birthday with his friends. In fact, you’ll probably inspire them to do the same thing, if their child has a birthday near a holiday or in the summer.
