My son lives with his Dad (not my choice) It’s his birthday soon and he has agreed to come to mine from 11.30-2pm. I’ll do him a little buffet, he will open his presents and I’ve got him a cake. I’ve got him some very unique gifts this year and will decorate the house/I’m doing a special theme for him/going to quite a bit of effort to make it really special.
I’m grateful that I’ll see him on his birthday as I didn’t even know if I would have any time with him but 2.5 hours does feel like a very limited amount of time to fit everything in without it feeling rushed.
What is everyone’s opinions please and how can I make the most of the time I do have with him?
On Christmas morning I am trying to do the same (8-11) and make the most of the time I do spend with him.
I am trying to be positive but it is hard.
