[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go with what your child wants. And why the heck would he want to spend the night with a bf's kids?? Your celebration of his birthday doesn't have to happen just on his birthday.[/quote]

THere is no spending the night with bf kids. I would pick up my kids from exh house and then bring them back in a few hours.

So I should ask ds if he wants to do dinner with bf and me or dinner with his dad? Seems unfair to him to ask him that. KWIM? [/quote]

Ok, there are more than two options in the world!  Ask him if he wants a special dinner or activity just with his mom and his brothers.  Ask him whatever.  But stop actling like the only birthday you could possibly plan is spending time with your BF and BF's kids.  Because I guarantee your child does not care about them the way you do.  Stop making this about *you* and what *you* want, and think about your son and what he wants, since it's his birthday after all.  It's supposed to be a time to spend time with and celebrate your child, it's not a time to try to further your goal of a family-like relationship with these other people.  Focus on your SON, not your self.[/quote]
