To be miffed about DH birthday celebrations?

I might be being a diva so just putting the feelers out there before speaking to DH about it again...
DH is celebrating a big birthday next year so has booked a long weekend watching a sporting event with his friends. All ok so far...
Until we went out the other night and his friend mentioned another trip with just the men, a long weekend abroad. I’m just a bit miffed because he’s arranged two celebrations without telling me and neither of these involve me or our 2 yo DS. Would it bother you?

If you "go on holiday with the girls" even tho you are "a family" I'm sorry but then if this arrangement is ok for you it's ok for him he'll be thinking

Perhaps you need to have a chat with him about this??

I wouldn't dream of leaving my kids going off on "a girls holiday" my priority is my family I've grown out of girls holidays

@Hellokitty82 really? Just because you have a family you no longer have trips with friends? Why?

OP I'd only be cross that he hadn't mentioned the event/dates. DH and I both have trips away with friends but always would check with each other out of curtesy before booking as we have 2dc. However I would want him to celebrate with us as a family as well. I'd book a surprise something.

Just saying OP can't moan if she does the same can she????

What's good for the goose is good for the gander and if people choose to do that what do they expect?????

We both see our friends but we certainly wouldn't go away with them

@Hellokitty82 I’m at home with DS 24/7 (SAHM) so I’m quite happy having odd weekends away with friends Grin
I was just a bit confused that he’d booked two trips away without saying anything to me and neither of those trips involved me or DS. I think I’ll go down the party route and maybe a family meal or day trip. Thanks everyone for your input Smile
