Hey, Hey Waffle gang. I do hope you are well. My name is Mark. And today we're checking out some more relationship stories. And if you do love a Reddit story, why not consider him that like, subscribe, maybe that notification bell too. Let's crack on with today's first story, which comes from Fresh Tower 8803. And it's titled, the A-Hull for forcing my daughter to share a

birthday celebration with her twin brother. I have two kids, Paige 14 female and Dylan 14 male.

As twins, most years they want to have joint birthday celebrations, but there have been a couple

of years where they they decided to have separate

parties with different friend groups or at different locations they tell me a few weeks before

their birthday in May which thing they want to do that year so this year page told me that she

and Dylan had decided they wanted to have their own parties and she and her friends had already

picked the whole theme and the activities they wanted to do.

I approved Paige's plan and then a day or so later I asked Dylan what he wanted to do for his

birthday party. At this point I learned that Dylan and Paige had not mutually decided that they were

having separate celebrations this year and me asking Dylan about it was the first he was hearing

that he was expected to have his own party. His feelings were very hurt that Paige had cut him

out without so much as talking to him about it. So I spoke with Paige and she admitted that she

and her friends had decided on their own to exclude Dylan because they felt that a boy would

wreck the activities

they had planned. I told Paige that it wasn't okay for her to treat her brother that way

and that the party I'd originally agreed to was now cancelled and that I'd expect her and Dylan

to plan a joint birthday celebration with activities that all of their friends could enjoy. Dylan is

much happier with this arrangement but Paige is angry and keeps saying that I

ruined her party.

I'm worried that I might have made a misstep because normally I try very hard to treat

my kids as individuals and not just as a pair of twins.
