Courtney Davis organized an elaborate Cinderella-themed birthday party for her daughter, focusing extensively on details like custom napkins and lace trim. Acknowledging that children don't appreciate such efforts, she nonetheless experienced anxiety over the planning. During the party, her husband Bobby's question about the cake exemplified the disconnect many parents feel. Comments on her social media post revealed widespread relatable experiences among fellow mothers. Despite the chaos, Davis prefers handling party planning solo, recalling a less successful attempt by Bobby to organize their son's birthday.
"It's my anxiety," Davis, 40, tells TODAY.com, acknowledging that children don't care about such touches and would probably be thrilled with a handful of Goldfish crackers and a balloon in a parking lot.
On the day of the party, Davis took out her camera to capture the results of her hard work. In an Instagram reel, she pans around the room, admiring the setup, when her husband, Bobby, suddenly appears with a question.
Davis's post was flooded with comments from people who had lived through the same thing - or some version of it.
Davis, who works as a comedian, laughed it off. In the end, she prefers to be a solo act when it comes to entertaining.
