It's Christmas Eve obviously.
It's also his birthday. I know that. We've been away for a few weeks so I had to cram a lot of Christmas stuff into only a few days.... he had his works night out Thursday, his extended family Christmas last night... and I had booked to see Santa the same place we've seen them since the kids were born this morning.... but he wasn't feeling up to it, so I put it for free on our local selling site which made me feel better about skipping it!
Then we went with loads of friends to a panto and lunch even though DD1 is poorly and miserable.
Every other year we are busy. We usually go out till late at night, due to his birthday... we have a dinner out or people over etc. And I was actually so excited to finally have the evening in after our lunch to do the elves hamper and put the kids to bed! (We usually put them down asleep!)
We got in, and he had asked some people over after lunch.... I had nothing in as we are spending the next three days out of the house! So rushed to the shop to get drinks and while there he put our youngest to bed!! Without me.. I went up straight away to chat to her but she loves bed and her bear and has SEN so was pretty unresponsive.
Came down, did snacks etc.... DD1 had got a movie in her hamper and was watching it and DH made her stop to go to bed earlier than usual...
Then he took all male guests to the dining room to play board games. All fucking night. The only other female guest called a cab and left. I've just sat by myself all Christmas Eve. Did the presents myself... tidied the room.... sorted the carrots and mince pie etc!
But it is his birthday.
I text my mum saying I am never staying in Christmas Eve again if this is what happens... (jokingly)... and she said it's fine because it's his birthday. Well... it was my birthday two weeks ago and we were on holiday (coincidence of date! Not for that!) and I tried to have a swim in the morning and he put both non swimming kids in the pool with me and went for a shower... (no more swimming obviously!) and it was the only night he didn't want to go out anywhere for dinner.
Am I being a bitch? I'm pissed off.
