Mom Spends Weeks Planning Kid's Birthday. Dad Has 1 Question on Day of Party

Courtney Davis, a mother of two in Westport, Connecticut, spent weeks planning her daughter's Cinderella-themed birthday party, obsessing over every detail. She ordered custom-embroidered napkins, bought table covers and meticulously glued lace trim around the edges, determined to create an event fit for a 4-year-old princess. 'It's my anxiety,' Davis, 40, tells 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. For the adults, there were cheese plates, salads, wine and all the thoughtful extras that make small talk and screaming kids a little more bearable. 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. 'Do you need help with anything?' he asks, seemingly unaware of the hours of labor that had already gone into the festivities. Later, he wonders aloud: 'Did you get a cake?' The moment struck a chord. Davis's post was flooded with comments from people who had lived through the same thing — or some version of it. As one woman wrote, 'Put all the husbands in a bag, shake it up, reach inside ... you'll get yours every time, cause they all the same.' 'This is my husband EVERY night 5-10 minutes before a full dinner is about to be served. Maddening.' 'PTSD!' ''Did you get a cake' needed a trigger warning.' 'Reminds me of Christmas morning. Did you get presents for the kids lol.' 'How is he not wearing the cake?' Davis, who works as a comedian, laughed it off. In the end, she prefers to be a solo act when it comes to entertaining, and still remembers the time Bobby took the lead on their son's birthday. 'He got these generic party favors,' she says, with a mock shudder. 'And I was like, absolutely not, never again.' She's quick to point out that Bobby is a hands-on dad who 'helps with everything' — except pulling off celebrations. Asked if there's anything she leaves entirely to him, Davis laughs, 'Our entire life! I have the best life ever.' This article was originally published on

Camden County boxing gym in need of new building after reaching full capacity

When Bobby Davis wanted to find a way to give back to kids in Camden County, he didn't pull any punches. >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] He recently opened the Anointed Boxing Fitness and Outreach gym in Folkston as a way to help kids focus their anger, learn discipline and have a safe space to go. He's now seeing a blow to the business not because of a punch to the profits or participation, but an uppercut in growth causing the current gym building to tap out. 'If I have to give everything for this community, for these kids, that's what I'll do,' Davis said. Davis says the gym building is now at full capacity, yet there are still more kids around the county looking to join. He recently started a fundraiser asking for $20,000 to help build the second gym. 'This is not about, 'oh I want to get rich.' No, I get rich by seeing these kids come in, be successful and be somebody,' said Davis. Anointed Boxing teaches the sport to kids for free, even offering lessons and classes for adults looking to learn. Davis says he worked with the Jacksonville Jaguars to help get the gym off the ground, which he doesn't make any personal money off of. Donations are what made the gym possible and Davis is now asking for more to get a second gym standing. 'We can invest our money in all types of other stuff, but what about lives?' Davis said. 'This isn't about the money, it's about giving these kids a safe place to go.' If you'd like to help donate to the gym, you can do so at the link here.
