To just go with it and seem grateful

[Dogatemyporridge]

Dh’s birthday today. Due to lockdown, tried my best to make it special. Baked a four sponge cake with the treats he liked, ordered big present all wrapped with balloons, toddler and I made a special packed work for lunch including party things like popcorn, marshmallows, chocolate..alongside normal sandwiches etc. All pretty silly stuff. Cue this morning, face pulling about how he’s going to take a cake that size to work (they usually take a cake to work at his workplace to share out)
Next trying to take things out of his lunch back as he’s not ‘Taking things like popcorn’ for his lunch...I ended up saying ‘Well, just put them in the bin then, just take them’ 🤷🏻‍♀️
Telling Dd to constantly ‘Calm down’ as she’s jumping around excited scout them balloons, cake etc.
Ordered a nice dinner delivery tonight of his favourite burgers (nice restaurant with steak/Angus burgers etc)
Aibu to think he could’ve just been (or at least pretended to be) a bit happier and well, more grateful 🤷🏻‍♀️

No not only you

It ‘Was’ all ok in the end.

I said about the cake and how I didn’t realise that at this new place they all take cake in too as he hadn’t said. He looked a bit sheepish and said yes, but he thought I was getting one! I said ‘Oh so I’m supposed to get it, without even knowing!’ 🤷🏻‍♀️He accepted this was stupid and he shouldn’t got it but didn’t have time. We basically came to the agreement it was rushed in the morning and we hadn’t organised the cake properly and that should’ve been the family cake etc. With regard to the lunch, he said he hadn’t realised Dd had helped with it and thought I’d stuck in a load of popcorn and didn’t really want to eat a load of popcorn for his lunch 🙈A fair amount of miscommunication, but it was his birthday so didn’t want a huge row and decided to let it go in this instance.
