I am very excited about my son's first birthday! I just really wish his daddy would be there for him.Me and Ryan live 2 hours away from his dad and his daddy doesn't like to come where we live. I don't know how I can talk him into bein here for Ryan's birthday on Jan 19.If ya have any suggestions, please let me know!
Are you and Ryan's dad still together? If so, maybe you can make arrangements to meet somewhere else. The exact day isn't important as long as you can celebrate and enjoy youir baby. Maybe you can plan to go out to dinner or stay together somewhere else.
If you're not together, and he's kind of flakey, trying to talk him into seeing you and the baby will probably just get you more frustrated. My daughter turned 5 yesterday, and her dad didn't send a gift, card, or even call. It can get frustrating and depressing sometimes, but kids don't NEED their biological fathers to be happy. My kids, like many others are surrounded by grandparetns and friends who love them very much.
i dont know your situation with BD so i probably wont be able to help much, but maybe if you can just let him know how much it would mean to your son and to you if he would please come. tell him it isnt going to be for a long time and again, it would mean a lot.
if he wont come and you still really want him around for the birthday maybe you can arrange to meet somewhere else for a private celebration, if the circumstances between you are fitting for you guys being alone together with the babe.
