Hey hun i just saw your B status. why dont you just do a family thing just you DP and your DS do something special just for him. Watch all his favourite movies, cook his favourite dinner and have cake and celebrate together. Take him to the local park and let him play.
its hard when you dont have very much $$$ and i honestly think something like this is more special and will mean more to him than a room full of people.
hope you are ok with the decision not to do anything
Lol LMS you beat me to it, was just gathering my thoughts to post.
I think you're right. It's too expensive, stressful, and he has no idea whats going on anyway. I think we'll just have some birthday cake with DF and whoever else happens to be home at morning tea time (early enough to run off the sugar) and a family day and find something cheap to do that's a bit different.
I think I just needed to be told it's ok. I feel mean for not throwing him a party, and dread the guilt trip I'm going to get from some family members
My other concern is that I'll always be this scared, and maybe I should make myself face it each year and hope that I get used to it...
