HI, its my sons birthday beginning of october. I feel a bit depressed about it tbh, as i have family support, but none are able to come to our home (or us goto them) on my sons actual birthday.
In my head, its just me and him and another boring day. I feel as if im letting him down and as if he's missing out. (i remeber the parties i had as a child with all my family and friends, they were great).,
Hes only 3, so hasnt got school friends to attend a party etc, so im a bit stuck for ideas amd i feel a bit down about it all.
Anybody else had similar experiences or have any ideas, about what i can do on the day for me and my special boy? I feel as if i need to do something special for us both. #
thanks.
hi :)
My budget is quite high really, (for a change) as ive saved for this and other things.
WE love exploring stuff, castles, walking, my son has been asking to look at a church for a while, ummmm hes very creative and so am i.
i really want to do something special. i feel a bit pressurised due to my sons other side of the family - very money orientated and commodity orientated. I feel as if i want to do something, between mother and child - nobody else, this is important for me given the context. ITs always been me and my child since day 1, and i want something to sort of mark the bond that we have. :)
Hello pink lilly
It's lovely that you are plannning a special day with your boy. I understand your feelings about his dad's family!!! but the main thing to remember is you are basing a day around what HE would enjoy, and he will have no concept of expenditure either way.
You have not said where you are in the country so I can't suggest specific places but have a look at this site and put in your location and it will direct you to the page for your area and if (for example) your area was Lancashire, there will be a link saying "View Lancashire" Click that and there will be details of things in your area.
I am excited to think about where you might choose! Ooh and by the way I bet he would love to help get the picnic ready the day before too!
If money is no object, then please do not spend it on numerous presents.
How about a photoshoot of the two of you and then a delicious lunch?
I'm sure your son will be happy just having you around :) having a really lovely day out with his mum will be a fantastic birthday. Perhaps going out to a zoo or castle that he hasn't been to with a great picnic with all his favourite things xx
Sounds lovely mumtotwins 
Hi pink lilly, yes ...I ...do ...remember those times - unfortunately. However, you have put a positive spin on it. You are looking for something fun and special for the both of you. Most important methinks!
What do you like doing? What is your budget? I am sure we can come up wtih something between us
