It's not your birthday present. It's theirs. You're not entitled, so you can at least try to be classy about it.

Sorry but he's not that into you if he didn't take you along on his birthday...he could have paid for you if his father is cheap....dump him.

it shows the SO's father doesn't respect the OP. And the SO doesn't seem to care much either. OP has every right to be upset. But when people surprise you and show you who they really are, it becomes your choice whether you accept that or make a change in your life, as unpleasant as it might be.

How many SOs you got?
That's rude

You don't exclude your partner's significant other in celebrations. Talk about tacky and cheap, not to mention bad etiquette. So the real question is, why was your partner okay with his father excluding you?

It's a personal outing between a parent and child, and it's a gifted lunch, for THEIR birthday present. Trying to entitle yourself, into their bond, is disrespectful.

Yeah, maybe if the child is 12 years old. These are adults we are talking about. You don't exclude your adult child's partner from social outings. It's weird and rude and strangely possessive to do so. It's a birthday dinner, and therefore a celebration of the son, and yes, his partner has a place alongside him. This was a breach of etiquette, plain and simple.

Parents are always entitled to have time alone with their own children and without some other person's child tagging along, no matter their age or where they choose to do it. If you don't think so, too bad, that's just how it is, and you'll just have to deal with it like everyone else does when their partner's parents come by to steal them away for an afternoon. It's not all about you, Princess Snowflake. Get over it.
