My son will be 7 on 19th . He does not have any concept of days /times. Because life it a bit busy over the next couple of weeks and for kind of selfish reasons I wanted to bring his birthday forward by a day . So we would celebrate gift ect on 18th instead.

The selfish part : me and his dad don't live together. But we are in a relationship. It has always been this way. So because its ds birthday. He wants to stay over on Sunday spend the day with us on Monday. But then he's said he wants to see ds on his birthday 19th. Which might lead to him wanting to stay another night. Because he would have Been working all day . It's just under an hours drive to get to my place after work . Then time he's spend some time with ds. It would be a couple hours drive home to his. So he will likely want to stay.

The reason I don't want him to stay is because Tuesday 19th will be first day back at school. So we all have to be up early. We he stays over I don't sleep well at all. First day back at school is always a bit stressful. But also I'm getting ready to move home Which will only be a few days after the 19th. I just want to be able to have a good night's sleep. Be able to pack and do what I need to do a lot as I need to take beds apart sort appliances ect. I just want space to get sorted.

Oh gosh I sound so selfish. Now I have written it it all seems a bit me me me. Maybe I will just let hom stay. I'm still posting as I have written it now .

Can’t you do a big birthday bash the day before then just you and him celebrate his actual birthday on the day?
Why doesn’t he have any concept of day? Does he know his birth date? Days of the week/date? surely he’ll go to school and his teacher will be all happy birthday to him.

You can't move his birthday as in pretend it's a different day but you can celebrate the day before?
