About the birthday, I hear you, but at the same time I am not willing to not see S on his birthday every other year. I am the one who carried him for 9 months. I am the one who was in labor for 26 hours. I am the one who pushed for 2.5 hours. I am the one who stayed up with him while he cried and cried every night for 6 weeks (except one night H gave me a break).
When it comes to the legal system, the "birth" card isn't going to work. If he fights for every other birthday he's likely to get it. Perhaps I'm touchy because I'm a dad, but I would be mad as h*ll if STBXW tried to play the "I gave birth to them" card when it came to birthdays or holidays.
There were two people there when the child was conceived.
