Hi,
I’m new to posting on Mumsnet - I’m a step mum to a lovely 4 year old boy. Me and his dad haven’t been together too long and this year is the first Christmas my partner and his son won’t be together. We’re having him on Boxing Day, I can’t wait.
I’ve never been in a relationship with anyone who has children so this is all new to me. I have to say, so far, I’m enjoying it. But Christmas is worrying me.
We’re planning all the family things such as decorating the tree, Santa visits, writing a letter to Santa etc... it’s not so much my step son I’m worried about as amazingly, he’s dealing with his mum and dads split really well. It’s more my partner.
So, how can I make Christmas Day special for him (it’ll be the two of us the dinner with my family) and try and help him through the day when his son isn’t there?
Thanks in advance x
