A 'big' birthday is approaching and I planned to have a barbeque. I've now changed my mind as i think this will be too much hassle (preparing food, cleaning the house etc) so I thought a meal out with a few friends might be better.
I understand most of my friends will struggle to get babysitters but if they can't make it, then that will be a shame but I have so few nights out (as we don't have anyone to babysit either) that I intend to make a special effort on my birthday. (one friend has already dropped out but said if I went back to the bbq idea she could come and bring her baby - i don't think she intended to make me feel guilty but I do!) Another friend is only going to come if everyone else isn't in couples as she's recently seperated and 'will get drunk and sad'.
Anyway, my mum and sister have now decided they'd like to come and visit and my mum has suggested we go out for a pub meal that night!! Why can she not see that the best present she could give is to babysit and let me do something different on my birthday then go out for a pub meal?? This would then mean bringing my dd and going home for 7.30pm when she goes to bed!!
Am i being unreasonable?
