It sounds as though your x feels it is no longer feasible to do the birthday party together. That is his choice. It is one of the many adjustments that children have to make after a divorce, separate birthday and holiday celebrations. Since I grew up in a divorced family, for me, not celebrating on the exact day is the norm.

Talk to your ds about it before hand. Try to make it sound like a great thing, ie, he gets TWO birthday celebrations!, because it IS a good thing. The good thing is that both of you care enough to celebrate his birthday.

I think that, in the end, you are the one who is having trouble with this than your ds will. Don't take it personally. It sounds like you have a fair working relationship with your xh. Don't let something like this spoil that!
