We are looking for any advice the community may have regarding this situation. We have an open relationship with our son’s BM (4 months old). We spent 3 weeks together after the birth in her state before we went back to our state. We told her that she would be welcome to come visit for Christmas. Contact in the last months has been via texting and sharing photos. She now brought up the topic of the Christmas visit, and she is assuming that 1) she will be staying with us (as opposed to hotel), and 2) we will be paying for her flight.
We thought that it would be best to set some boundaries in the beginning, so we didn't want to set the precedent of her staying with us during this first visit. Her expectation that we pay for her flight is completely unexpected. Any advice for how to have a productive conversation with BM about this? Anyone have a similar situation and chose to pay/not pay? Thank you!
