Spending my birthday away

[cjt110]

Due to the way christmas falls this year, and my birthday being a christmas one, i'll be away from home - with DH, DS and DH's family. It will be the first time in 32 years I won't see my parents on my birthday.

I know I'm a grown up and all that but it makes m a little sad.

We will be away celebrating christmas. It's almost like my birthday won't exist as we'll be travelling.

And my husband remarked this morning "Well, that's what happens when you're an adult" He clearly doesnt understand how pants it is to have a birthday 3 days before christmas

Bah humbug

Meant to post this in chat not AIBU. Will ask for it to be moved.

Can you arrange to have a birthday meal or trip out while you're away? Can you do something with your parents on another day?

Not really - We are having a buffet on the Saturday - we won't arrive til middayish and then doing Christmas stuff with the children on the Sunday.

I think I'll see if my parents fancy coming round on the Thurs evening.
