'My sister hijacked my daughter's birthday party - so her son could steal the spotlight'

Navigating birthdays when you have more than one child isn't always easy, and some parents will often give a small present to the child who isn't celebrating a birthday just so they don't kick up a fuss about not being the centre of attention. But a mum-of-one has been left infuriated after her sister tried a similar tactic at her daughter's birthday party - by bringing a separate cake for her son.

The mum explained her daughter Maya will be turning 16 at the beginning of October and is planning a small party with friends and some family members, including her aunt and her little cousin Dylan, two. And instead of allowing Maya to celebrate her special day, the mum's sister has insisted that Dylan should have his own cake so that he doesn't feel left out.
