To think he should be here for her birthday

Me and DH have a 2yo (3 in may) and our daughter turns 1 in two weeks.
DH works away 4 days a week and is home 4 days a week and is currently doing his driving lessons only on the days he's at home, 2 hours of lessons every day he's home.

He's booked for 4 hours of lessons in day for the 4 days he's off the week of DD 1st birthday, including her first birthday, they're pretty crap hours he's picked like 11-1pm then 3-5pm that day.

I told him should of tried to get really early lessons or really late ones because now we're not really going to get to do anything for her birthday as a family (now planning to do something just me and DC.)

I know it's her first birthday and she doesn't know any different but we did something for DS first birthday but he also missed his second birthday too.

Aibu?

She might not remember, but he will. He will know he didn’t prioritize his child. I can’t imagine a decent parent wanting to live with that choice

How is it prioritising a child to do something that will not benefit the child in any way?
