Birthday stuff is tough. D7's birthday is next week and several months ago she said she wanted to do it together. Her birthday falls on a Thursday, not my day, but I do have her Wednesday night so I'm taking her to Medeival Times like I did with D11 and I'm not inviting STBXW. Thursday D7 will wake up at my place and I'll give her a small birthday present (Webkins) and have a Happy Birthday banner hanging in the living room.
You say she'll remember 6 for the rest of her life. She'll remember 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. Some people do birthdays and Christmas' together. Right now I don't think I'm ready for that and I may never be.
School stuff. We did parent conferences together last year. I haven't decided on whether I should ask for separate conferences this year or not. Same reasons as above. STBXW likes to play happy family sometimes and hide from what she's doing.
