Lamest birthday EVER!!!

It is my birthday today and I went to work, came home, cleaned, put kids to bed and that's about it. I am not one to complain about such things usually, but I think my frustration today stems from the fact that on SD's birthday the world revolves around that kid... We spend a fortune, make calls sing songs, and it is a HUGE event, despite the fact that we know that she is getting another huge event from BM.

So today is my birthday... Seriously, all I got was a cake that he swung by the grocery store and spent probably less than 10$ on and a card. I go all out for DH's birthday, and make a whole day of it too, but he does nothing for me today. I am so disappointed.

Ok maybe I am being a bit selfish or childish, but I just had my hopes up I guess that I would get just a bit more attention.

Sorry you had a shitty

Sorry you had a shitty birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Maybe your DH will surprise you with a nice dinner out tomorrow.

Honestly, I would tell him how disappointed you are.

Nah he is definitely not that

Nah he is definitely not that thoughtful. He is a reliable guy and a good dad and has a lot of great qualities I am sure... I am just having a hard time remembering them at the moment because he is such a thoughtless twit sometimes.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

So you know what to do when

So you know what to do when his birthday rolls around. Nothing. Oh hang on, a cake. From a box. With one pre-loved candle. Then fly out the door to meet some friends.

Yep, I am debating if I will

Yep, I am debating if I will even bother with the cake for his. I slave for the people in this house year round, and he can't even give me a half of a day. Men are lame.

Yah, that is a good idea.

Yah, that is a good idea. Give him a taste of his own medicine.

It reminds me of a Mothers Day years ago. After many years of DH being a good husband and getting me very thoughtful kids from him and the skids, one year he decided to get me nothing. As I was busy making dinner (because I was making dinner for my mom) I said to him "you could have at least given me a card". He looked at me and said "why? You aren't MY mom".

Oooo I was mad and hurt. I told him that his mom wasn't MY mom, yet I still went out of my way to send her thoughtful presents and a card. On fathers day I didn't even acknowledge it - neither did the skids for that matter. Before he hurt my feelings I used to make a big deal out of Fathers Day. Anyway, it hurt his feelings and he got the message and he hasn't been thoughtless again since.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
