Absolutely NOT unreasonable!!!! Even having more than one child yourself doesn’t mean everything involves all kids so why should that change because you’re a blended family! If it was a family photoshoot with dad as well maybe he’d have a slight point but as he’s not included he certainly has no point! Honestly I’d have to tell him to grow up and accept that treating the children equally doesn’t mean they all get the same!
Let him sulk and do the photoshoot! This would be nice for you to have a picture of you and your son. They’re only little once
Oh god I’m sorry that sounds like a lot to take on. I’ve just re read your post and I had read it wrong the first time. If he doesn’t want to be involved then it’s something that should be done with just you and your son 100%. He cant be annoyed at you if he can’t even be bothered to join in. You do what you want to do. I’m sure the photos will be amazing! Xx
Go ahead with it anyway, dads not involved so it’s not like it’s a full family photoshoot. It’s something for you and your son xx hope the pics are amazing xx
If dad isn't going to be involved then it's not a 'family' photoshoot so I don't see what his issue is. If he wants pics of the kids together then he could arrange something for another time. I'd go ahead with it regardless, and enjoy your time with your son x
@Chloe but he’s not in them and he doesn’t want to be. Literally everything we do they are included which is fine but just this once I want me and my son to have some time together. I work 7 days a week plus an evening for this family yet I still come home clean and cook for everyone, he doesn’t drive so I am constantly driving back and fourth to his sons home, and it’s not like we won’t do something with them but just this once I want to do something with my son. My whole pregnancy I wasn’t allowed to be excited because I had to hide it until I was 7 months because of his ex and the kids. Everything I do is a compromise for them two and my son misses out all the time because I’m constantly compromising for them even my baby shower was all about them two xx
Dad is completely unreasonable especially when he doesn’t want to do it. His attitude stinks saying about not raising someone else’s child yet expects you to be step mum. Double standards! Sod him, tell him you’ll be doing what you want. Enjoy your baby especially as you couldn’t enjoy your pregnancy. Do not feel guilty about that either
