i still cannot believe she postponed her daughter's third birthday by a whole week, with the justification that she wouldn't know, because they simply didn't tell Pearl itwas her birthday until her delayed "pretend" birthday a week later! i understand delaying the party - or celebrating earlier - because Louise wanted Darcy to be there, but i still can't believe she prioritised Darcy in terms of celebrating Pearl's birthday! she refused to even acknowledge the day her daughter was born, acting as though it was simply any other day - and presumably forcing Liam to do the same - simply because Darcy was with Matt and she didn't want Pearl's birthday to happen without Darcy there, because she would miss out! but as for Pearl missing out on her actual birthday, who cares! because Pearl simply isn't the priority - even on the day she was born.
my heart broke for Pearl, and the fact that she will grow up knowing that even her birth wasn't enough for Louise to want to celebrate without Darcy present - because it's not as though Louise celebrated six of Darcy's birthdays without Pearl - and ofc Louise plastered it all over SM, yet didn't even acknowledge Pearl's real birthday even in an IG post on the actual day, as though it wasn't the three year anniversary of her giving birth and meeting her little girl.
and sure, at the time, Pearl wouldn't have been aware, and obviously she still celebrated her birthday and received presents and cake and had a party - but as she grows up, she will be painfully aware that there was a year her birthday was postponed for no other reason than the fact that her older sister is always most important, and she is never good enough - even on her birthday. i mean, imagine having the audacity to be born on a day that darling Darcy is spending with Matt! such an inconvenience!
I don't know the arrangement they have in place or anything about co-parenting, but if she was so desperate for Darcy to be there couldn't she have swapped days Darcy was with Matt so she was there that day? If that's not possible, like you said, there was no need for her to postpone Pearl's entire birthday just so Darcy could be there. They could have celebrated on the day and then had a meal / a smaller celebration with just Darcy and Pearl afterwards if it means so much to Louise for Darcy to celebrate too.
