A month of birthdays
I haven't had any parties for my kids due to covid but we're having a small one this year. There are a lot of birthdays in DHs family during one month so I called dibs on a date about 2 months ahead.
One of my SILs has a daughter with a birthday a week before mine. She is copping an attitude because I didn't want the cousins to have a co-birthday party. Sorry no I want to have one at my house with the people my DD knows not pay to have one at her place with her friends and in laws. Nope. She planned a party for 2 weeks before... On my DHs birthday. Passive aggressive? Maybe, I'm sure my DH wants to share his birthday with a toddler!
I let SD know about my DDs party (olive branch, trying to do the right thing) she said she will come. Of course she will come for a party, she only wants to see us for parties and vacations. I bet she would come for both if the other wasn't on DHs birthday. I can see BM figuring out a reason for her not to come on DHs birthday, or maybe she will let her as a way to butter him up to send money. We will see...
Taking bets now, will SD come for both, just her cousins or just her half sisters?
Oh and the 2nd bet, will SD arrive with gifts for her half sister, cousin, and DH or any combination thereof? I doubt it. Guests if honor don't bring gifts!
My prediction is she comes to both, no gifts in hand, and treated like a queen for gracing the parties with her presence. And take home any remaining cupcakes.

I predict
That no matter whether she comes to one or both, gifts or no gifts, she will be a PITA and you will be aggrivated.
Its way harder said than done, but could you just get the annoying SD and her actions out of your head, disengage , and enjoy the festivities? I never could, but maybe you are better than me LOL.
Disengage from the party pooper .
Part of why I'm telling her
Part of why I'm telling her the date so far ahead is so everyone has time to plan what they're doing so I don't have to concern myself with it on the day of. Let's see if it actually works. I plan to focus on my DD form her birthday!
Adultskids behavior was so
Adultskids behavior was so bad I started banning him from my kids birthdays. He us a lot older than they are. It was awkward and miserable with sullen, greedy AdultSkid around. I know that makes me an evil stepmother and I'm proud of it.
Ah so you are like my family
on a lot of birthdays in one month. My DH's birthday is 12 days before mine and mine is 14 days before SDs. As we want to start trying for a baby something we both agreed on was trying hard not to have another july birthday. I mean if it happens, it happens, but would really prefer a different month than July.
As for will your SD bring a gift, I bet she will go to both parties and either bring a gift for her cousin, or both her cousin and her half sister, but definitely not for your DH.
