Am I being PFB and precious? Do I need a slap?

It's our anniversary this weekend. A friend has just rung about something unrelated and accidentally let the cat out of the bag that dh had asked them to have ds for a sleepover at the weekend. Well, um, ds has never slept anywhere else before, plus he's a tricky sleeper and v stuck to his routine, and although he's not clingy he's very attached to me at bedtime and gets really upset if I'm not there. (I went to aerobics the other night and although dh often does bedtime ds was still really upset that I'd gone out and was up, tired and tearstained when I got back...and this was at home with daddy.)

So, I'm v excited that dh is planning something lovely, and am a very lucky girl I know, I know, but I would have liked ds's first sleepover to be um....ok I'll say it... more under my control. God that sounds precious doesn't it.

Am I being really stupid? I'm a bit cross that I wasn't consulted as I probably would have said ds isn't ready as he can't get to sleep by himself. Without me. Oh God it's all about me isn't it.

Someone tell me whether I'm being stupid or whether I'm right to worry that I'll get a phonecall at 3am and hear ds in tears in the background I don't think I'll be able to relax and enjoy the evening

o for crying out loud he'll be fine!
Much better for having a slepover without you actually, he'll learn that he can have a nice fun time without you which will make things nicer for you, nicer for him, and also nicer for your DP to feel a bit less like second best all the time. Chill the heck out and have a great night!

do some people really think 3 is still a baby then? after 2.6 i don't really see them as babies anymore - imo they are toddlers after that.

nappy...personally, to me...age is a relative thing....and personally I would go more by the childs development...
for instance, ys was and is much more sensitive to his environment and changs and emotionally his development is not developed the same way as for instance ms was at that age..but he is a tough nut, lol...

do I make sense?
