A while ago DH mentioned going out with a friend to a particular event. He didn't say when it was exactly and i didn't ask.
It is our child's 7th birthday on Sunday and he's having a party at 10am. We've wrapped presents and I'm sorting some things out today ready for the party and the shopping for a family buffet tea in the afternoon after the party. That's all fine
Turns out DH's night out is saturday, the night before DD's party. It will probably be a midnight ish end to the night out, so not reallt late so less likely to be hungover so i'm not too worried about that.
I just feel sad that i will be putting out the presents, a few balloons and decorations in the living room on my own once DD is asleep. It's obviously not difficult, i can easily do it alone, but it feels something DH and i should be doing together ready for her birthday. Like all kids, DD is excited for her birthday and putting things out the night before feels special (to me), a bit like christmas eve. Maybe that's because DD is our only child, i don't know, it's just the way i feel
I'm not sure if I'm reasonable to feel sad and also a bit pissed off that DH didn't think about the night out being the day before DD'S birthday. Or I am being unreasonable and ridiculous and need to give myself a slap with a wet fish?
Would this bother you?
