[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the angst about the birthdays.  I have a conflict such that I have been on work travel for half my 10 yo’s birthday.  I always have an elaborate family and separate friend party....just on other days when I can be there.  He doesn’t care I am not there on the actual day at all.  I call and his dad is there to take him somewhere special for dinner.  I can FaceTime him.

It really is no big deal to kids and good to teach them a birthday can be a moveable event and still be fantastic.[/quote]

These moms are creating people that want divorces when their H doesn’t treat their birthday like the next coming.[/quote]

Honestly, if I raise kids that are so mentally inflexible that they can't deal with celebrating their birthday a few days earlier or later, I will think that I've failed.[/quote]

Or rather, you expect your DC to accept the divorce and the fact that you don't prioritize them.  Because your job and your life is more important.

They'll get the message.  Don't worry.[/quote]
