Its my birthday tomorrow. DH made some apparently joking comment tonight which made me think he had forgotten. He claims it was definitely a joke. I then got a bit cross and said that DD would be expecting me to have a cake (she is very concerned that birthday etiquette is always followed!) and would be disappointed.
DH then said how did I know I wasn't getting a cake, and then rushed off to (not so) surreptitiously (sp) check the recipe books, and the fridge. He has just come back from the shops with eggs - which he claims are for lunch later in the week!!!
He also disappeared just as he was about to bath DS. When I asked him where he was going (to be fair he did leave DS half dressed and rushed downstairs to see DD) he just sighed and said that it is impossible for him to do any surprises if he is at work all day and I am at 'sticking my nose in'(I think he must have been going to get DD to help write my bday card).
AIBU to think that if DH really tried hard enough and was a bit more organised, he could PROPERLY surprise me. Or is it quite hard to surprise someone who is always around, and who is a bit of a control freak ?
