Can I get some birthday wishes?

It’s my son’s 12th birthday today and he just informed me that his biological babysitter decided it was more important to go out with friends and leave my son alone rather than celebrate with him. I’d like to show him that people do care and love him. I have less than a month before I will have full custody and things like this make me so mad. Especially when he was told that he couldn’t have a birthday party because it was too expensive.

For context: I live 6 hours away and am driving to stay with him for the next three days and sleep in my car because I cannot believe this father would do this.

Happy birthday! Being 12 is awesome! One year away from being a teen and you basically get to do everything teens can, but kids can too! I hope you have a phenomenal day! Soak up everything, find some adventures, and get into shenanigans.

OP- good luck on custody and thanks for being a positive parent!
