@Anais this is my point, and the thing is he is self-employed, so he never knows what time he's going to really finish work. If I'm honest, I don't want to be going there Late bio doesn't even want us there, so I feel like he's forcing the agenda
If he’s self employed he could just go in the morning and have a late start🤣 definitely forcing it. Set some boundaries put your foot down x
I get the awkwardness is off putting, I would hate it. But imagine not seeing your little one on their birthday. I would hate that even more. I would just go, even if she doesn't fully understand, your partner does. If you don't want to go tell him he can go on his own and you will celebrate on the weekend
@Anais not that simple he is literally booked up all week and she is going to be 12 so she is at school @Tasha we agreed last year as she wanted to argue in front of the kids so we agreed to celebrate when we are all together. I get he wants to see her but we will literally be picking her up on Friday
Can dad not go on his own to see her and then u all do something together at the weekend thats what i would suggest. I wouldnt go to bio mums house and travel that much with my kids after school but i also understand why he would want to see his daughter in her birthday
Tell him that he can go and take the kids if he wants and you will sort things around the house and cook tea for you all to eat when they’re back otherwise you’d be eating at a ridiculous hour and the next day would be ruined for your own children etc. It’s kind of a compromise that means he gets what he wants and you don’t have to feel like the awkward bystander 🤷♀️
Not wrong at all. I understand dad wanting to see her on her birthday. But we always celebrate the weekend we have SS that is closest to his birthday. You’re gonna have tired kids after school, traffic and you’ll need to factor in having dinner too. Maybe dad just goes alone?
