Mum and son time/dad and son time

[suzzanne]

So this might sound a bit silly
But oh half has just called me saying hes planned a day out for him and our eldest son whos 5. A full day away maybe hotel stay doing a range of activities they'll both enjoy. The activities alone are costing £500!!! And while i know it'll be lovely for them both, and my son will love it i cant help but feel 1. Majorly Left out and 2. Annoyed at the cost when myself and other son arent part of it.

I kno im probably being awful.. But im not ready to not be part of my sons life. I want to share these experiences with him and its like because im a girl and my children are boys im slowly going to start getting pushed out of thing cos its 'boys time' :-( id suggest we go too but im pretty sure he wants time with just our son and our youngest would ruin it with temper tantrums and disruptive behaviour (2y old) hes already said he defo doesnt want to take the youngest.

Just feel a bit sad :-((

Trying to think of something me and him could do together to make up for it but cant think :-((

I have 3 DS and don't think you should accept being pushed out. My DS all do the same sport, I take them, cheer them on, help them train. It's also a sport where there are many adult and kids events on the same day. I'm rubbish but compete and they are there to cheer me on. It is great for building and maintaining our relationship. My recommendation is to find a sport/hobby that have elements that are grounds for building a common interest.
