Sons birthday
Show your support
We just always do something the week before or after depending on where the birthday falls☺️Their birthdays are about them. What if your child’s birthday was on a school day? Would your partner pull her out of school then? I bet your son doesn’t get invited to SDs birthday parties or days out that her mum hosts.
I have no issue with him asking for her to be here but it’s the fact he thought about how SD would feel rather than how our son would feel given it’s our son’s birthday not SD’s! It annoys me that it’s always about how the SC will feel rather than our child.
Because your son lives with you and SD doesn’t so he asked if she would be upset because she might feel left out of the family whereas your son won’t be because he’s with his parents all the time
@Angel she also lives with us
Yes but she’s going to be at her mums right? As it’s her Mums Day? So him asking is highly likely to the fact that she might feel left out and you guys had family time without her celebrating her brother. I personally go ahead with birthday plans even if my SD is not with us so I don’t see anything wrong with it but I think your husband is coming from a place of concern that SD might feel left out of the family which is not him putting her feelings before your sons just probably him needed reassurance
@Angel yes you’re right, I just think he should have been thinking about whether our son would be disappointed if she’s not home for it, rather than if she will be disappointed that she’s not home for it.
Why can’t you just ask her mum if she can be with you for the day? She most likely would be upset to miss her little brothers birthday, wouldn’t it be nicer to all celebrate together?
