[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband took his Mother out for her birthday to a very formal, special restaurant, just the two of them. So special. She absolutely loved it. It was suppose to be the 4 of us but two of four weren't feeling well so at the last minute decided not to go. I wish I had known earlier in our married life just how special a treat it was for her -- to have her son to herself. I would made sure it happened more often.[/quote]

Op —because your kids are young you can start now.  You want to create a tradition of having lunch or dinner with you kid or kids once a month. For them this will just be the way it is.  Keep it going while they are single adults.  When they start dating this will be part of the package.  In the early stages of a new relationship, a new gf won’t be offended to not be invited.  When he is ready to introduce her to you, he can do at one of your traditional lunches or a separate dinner.  You son will continue to have lunch with just you though out  their relationship.  Once in a while you will ask him to include his gf.  When thy get engaged, she understands this tradition and that this is special between the two of you.  She will know that she is invited to other outings but won’t be upset that she is not included in this tradition because it has been a part of his life as long as she has known him.[/quote]
