How do divorced parents typically handle a parents’ birthday?

If the parent with a birthday desires time with the children, the parenting plan often includes such time. This arrangement can be specified in the parenting plan to ensure the parent can enjoy their special day with the children. Flexibility and mutual respect are key to making this arrangement work smoothly. For young children, its often helpful (and kind) for the non-birthday parent to help coordinate a gift or card of some sort so the children are prepared to celebrate the other’s birthday.
