To be annoyed at DH going away....

[blueskydrinking]

...on my birthday weekend.

Work trip, optional rather than an 'order'.

Birthday on Thursday, he plans to go on Friday.

It's really the only time he's away from home overnight, this event just happens to fall on the weekend of my birthday. Every year.

It really pisses me off, although I appreciate I'm not 5 and should maybe just get over the whole birthday thing.

Go on. I can take it.

OP are you just hacked off that he is going away and the birthday thing is a red herring?

I expect all my cards to be delivered before I go away

lol, that would do it for me, you would get an ecard from me :)

Oh I print e cards off!!

I just love cards!!! Lots of them.
I like sending them and getting them.
I love Christmas cards as well!!!!

Now you see, I don't actually expect an entire weekend dedicated to me!

It's just a better time to celebrate without work in the morning. I love to make birthdays special, I get it from my mum.

DH is lucky though, he'll have a much more even-tempered wife when he gets home
