Emily Oster, an economist and mother, emphasizes the importance of family time over children's birthday parties. In her podcast discussion, she reveals that her family prefers to prioritize quality togetherness over social events. While not completely against parties, she carefully considers whether they conflict with their scheduled family activities. Her perspective highlights a structured approach to family life, valuing specific traditions that foster connection and understanding within the family unit, particularly during weekends when they enjoy outdoor activities together.
The idea of prioritizing some time that the four of us can spend together that is family time, that is very central.
If the birthday party is a Sunday morning, which is a time that we like to go hiking or do stuff together, it's just no.
