julie!

first of all - you are the least selfish mom that i know. or at least one of the least selfish moms. from the little that I "know" you, I think that you are a very special mom to a very special kid, and you always do the right thing by your son. if you were a selfish person, this would be a non-question for you, and you would just insist on not letting his father have him on YOUR birthday.

now - for the birthday question.

if i recall your stories about your ex, he sometimes makes plans that don't work out. now - i hope that he does get to see joey, for JOEY's sake, but....

the important thing is that joey sees his dad. i think it would be wonderful for joey if his dad actually shows up, and he gets to see him play. because their relationship is so sporadic, think of how grateful joey will be when his father does this.

is your birthday not important too? of course your birthday is important. but since you didn't have anything planned, you COULD celebrate with joey on a different day. compromise.
