Another me against my hubby problem There is a little boy that is best buds with my middle two. He is having a Bday party. I usally give a towel with the child's name on it and use it to wrap the present for the birthday kid. Well this guy has a little sister. He spends one week with mom and little sister (half sister age 4) and then the other week at dad's house. Now the little girl loves big brother and cant understand why she cant go to brother's dad's house. Here is the problem I want to give the little girl a towel with her name on it also at the brother's Bday. Hubby says we never have given gifts to the siblings why start now. my thinking is that she cant go to her brother's other bday at his fathers house and it might make it easier if she had a towel also. It is only 5.00 and I consider it wrapping paper. Q should I give the girl a towle like big brother or not. The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!

I wouldn't give the sister a towel...it's a nice gesture, but it's not her birthday... It's nice to help out with other people and make them feel special, but it sounds like you're trying to make up for losses in HER family that aren't of your making. Chrys

If you want to give someone a gift you should. That's one of the joys of life, especilly if you make the gifts yourself. I wouldn't tie it to her brother's birthday though -- that kind of takes something away from him. Make her a towel and give it to her just because she is a special little girl. That towel thing is cool. I often make gift bags out of cotton with design to match the personality or the gift. Dorothy |

I think you should give her a towel ... anytime you can add a little joy to some elses life ... I say go ahead...I agree with Dorothy... Make her a towel and give it to her just because she is a special little girl. Your a very nice person Aimee...

I say give her the towel if you want too but, not on her brothers day. Make it more special by giving it on the day she is missing the other party. That way she will have something special to show her brother when he gets home.
