Wow! You are really trying hard to be a good mom and give your kid the birthday party he wants with his friends. If your ex doesn’t go along with this and do what’s best for his son, that’s really a bummer.
My friend’s parents divorced when he was about seven age. Boy, did that ever screw with his life. I wish I could offer insight and advice, but I still don’t understand how and why they messed with him.
The best thing you can do, though, is not make a big deal. Just invite his friends to a party on the closest day to his birthday you can, and don’t put the blame on his father for spoiling things.
And — Whatever you do, don’t fight with your ex in front of your son! If his Dad is willing to be a jerk about the kid’s birthday just to prove that he still has the power in the relationship, he’s more immature than your seven year old kid! If he hangs up on his son while they’re talking, that’s just evil. I’d feel sorry for his new wife. He’ll pull this crap on her and her kids, too.

The US military confirmed that its death toll from the conflict has risen to six, after two bodies were recovered from a regional facility struck by Iran. Six. With more promised. Trump himself said there will be more casualties. He said it like a weather forecast. “There will likely be rain on Tuesday. There will likely be more American deaths.” Six families were destroyed. Six … - The Insurance Companies May Have Ended The #USIranWar
Here’s the most surreal part of all of this: Iran didn’t even need to physically close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has deployed selective drone and rocket attacks. That’s been enough for shipping companies and the insurers who underwrite them to balk at the risk of sending ships through the strait. The insurance companies said no. That was it. Fifteen hundred years of naval strategy, …
