I haven't done anything with my little boy for Halloween and I feel dreadful
Hi everyone, my little boy is 1 year old, and I know it sounds really really silly but I feel dreadful that I haven't done anything with him for it. I just always want to make sure he's having the best time possible and not missing out.
I said to my partner last week, "oh we should dress him up and do some Halloween activities or book on to a Halloween party because i havent got him anything planned yet" to which he replied "it doesn't really matter though does it?" Which hurt me because he knows how much effort I put into things. It's got to today, and I've seen loads of children his age going to messy plays, Halloween parties, dressing up etc and it's upset me. I work full time and today was my only day off with him, but by the time he'd woke up, had breakfast, played whilst I ate and got myself ready, most things that I could've booked were already booked up. I asked my partner if he could go and pick him up a costume on the way home and I'd think of something to do before he went to his nannas for the night (my partners mum and dad have him on Thursday nights as I start work very early fridays) and his response was "well Halloween is almost over now and he's going to my mums so theirs no point now, you should've planned something this morning". I just now feel like a 💩 mum, and I know he probably wouldn't even remember it if we did do something, but I wanted it to be a memory for us all and so I could put some photos in his album like we did last year 😞
It's really pathetic of me I know, and there's a lot going on at the moment at home so I think everything is getting to me more than it should, but I can't help but feel that mum guilt.
That’s not pathetic of you , it’s pathetic of dad to just ignore your feelings, u guys don’t have trunk or treats or even a community mall u could take him too & maybe just take him later to grand parents house
