Can I Bring My Very New Boyfriend to a 4-Year-Olds Birthday Party?
Care and Feeding is Slates parenting advice column. Submit it here or post it in the Slate Parenting Facebook group. Im 34 and have happily been seeing someone for three months. Its still new, but its going well, and hes very normal, mature, and together. My best friend is hosting a fourth birthday party for her son next month, and I asked if I could bring him as a plus-one. She declined because she isnt ready to bring someone new into her sons world and still has PTSD from my ex being in her baby shower photos (4.5 years ago! ).
