Am I wrong?

Your feelings are valid BUT so are dads! Are the SKs normally there Christmas Eve? If so changing it seems a bit shitty If not then I’d be pushing to stick to normal plans If you want to take baby to some Christmas things do it if he chooses not to come too because of older kids I’d be telling him life doesn’t stop because they’re not there and your joint child shouldn’t only get fun things when half siblings are around!
I think Dad is being unfair and you are entitled to have special experiences as is your child and that don’t always include siblings. X
That's really frustrating! We defo had similar arguments (I wanted first weekend at home to be just us, I was in hosp for 6 nights including over the weekend my son was born so partner said he couldn't not have them 2 weekends in a row as they would feel excluded) so 6 months on a still havnt had a weekends just us 3 Totally get how you feel! It's nice to do things as a 5 but you should still be able to do things as a 3 and for you to get those special first time parent experiences!
Sending you lots of love! It’s so hard! Your partner is in the wrong and you should have a discussion about it and your expectations. Unfortunately, life doesn’t stop because the other children aren’t there. Whilst technically your baby won’t know the difference he’s setting a worrying foundation. Totally get the guilt your partner must be feeling for his other children but something you can sit and talk about. We do things with my SKs and daughter as a family but we also do things with just my daughter on weekends they aren’t with us. They do things with their mum etc.
