It’s my birthday this week, I have a young Dd and the plan is to have a nice day with her. It’s things she enjoys doing, but I like doing them with her too…we’ll visit santa, go to a Christmas village, maybe a film and then pizza (we’ll be doing more of this kind of things at weekends too with Dh)
Dh will be working all day until 6, it’s dark and cold by then and Dd will get tired, plus i’m not fussed about going out in the evening.
Dd and I will have the dinner out a bit earlier and be back by 6. Would you bring Dh some food from the restaurant back for his dinner? Feel a bit mean not doing so and him having a toastie or something for dinner, but also on a budget before christmas and it’s a fair bit extra to bring a pizza back, plus Dh hasnt planned making any dinner or getting a takeaway for my birthday, I’ve organised it all, although I know he’ll get a cake a small presents off dd

Can he not cook for himself?

No. But then I wouldn't be going to the restaurant that day for my birthday meal. I'd be waiting until a weekend when DH could join us and we'd be going out as a family.

But I also wouldn't be doing Christmas stuff with a small child on my birthday in November!

But everyone's different so do what you feel works for you.

Can't be have a ready meal or shop bought pizza?

No, he's put no effort into your birthday, why should you arrange his dinner? Have a lovely day with your DD.

No.
