Am I wrong to be upset I missed my son opening his birthday presents? 😭

Its my sons 7th Birthday today. I was up late wrapping his presents, decorating and generally making it nice for him. I woke up to find my partner wasn’t next to me in bed, & went downstairs to find he had let my son open all of his presents without me. I’ve never missed any of my kids opening presents on Birthdays or Christmas. I’m not going to ruin today being upset, but was on the verge of tears when I realised. My son asked me where I was, and my partner is acting like it’s not a big deal. Feel gutted 😭

So you did all the work and he took all the glory? Yeah no big deal Hmm I would be furious. So difficult as you don’t want to argue in front of your son on his birthday.

Does stuff like this happen often?

That’s shit of him, I’d be really upset. Is he usually so thoughtless?

Did your partner do an equal amount towards it? I’m guessing not and now he has had all the enjoyment. That is so utterly rubbish!!

Is your partner normally this thoughtless and selfish? You basically did all the work and he enjoyed the fun part. Cruel

I'd be really upset as well but it just wouldn't happen in a million years in my house. We don't do presents until everyone is up and ready.

He must be a prick in other ways, this won't be a one off.

How nasty. So you slog away doing all the prep and hard work and he swoops in to take the glory.

Aw, you aren’t being unreasonable to be upset. Can’t understand why your dp would do that! Going forward, I would be clear that everyone is around and awake for present opening!

Your partner is a dick. Did he also want to take credit for everything you’d done for your son’s birthday? Jerk.
