It was my birthday yesterday and DP surpassed himself, again.

Got nothing, well a card but I'm not throwing myself at his feet with gratitude for that.

We spent weekend at Big Chill, and yesterday, my birthday, was packing up, coming home day so it was never gonna be a great one.

We left on Thursday and I said 'Oh yeah, it's my birthday on Monday, maybe I'll take one of my present from Mum with me so I have something to open'. Anyway, we packed up car and me and my best mate were sat in car waiting for him and he came out, grabbed my arm and siad 'quickly come and choose something onlione for your birthday". I said 'no, I won't, I've written down a list of ideas, if you haven't sorted it by now I'm not getting out of the car and doing it myself, you should have doine this sooner and not left it to the last second'. He said it wasn't the last second.

Cut to birthday yesterday. All mates wished me HP in the morning and I was in tent, he was outside and he shouted out 'happy birthday' and then he gave me a card a bit later. Got home and he still did nothing nice or made any type of fuss. When i said 'once again you've done nothing all year and the one day you could make a fuss of me and show your appreciation and love for me you've blanked my birthday, again.'. He then left me to order and pay for the curry, I ate it in the kitchen he ate it in thelounge and he then said he was going to bed leaving me to clear up.

Last year he bought the shoes I picked out, told him style, product code, colour, size ate. He walked in with shoes int he bag, receipt inc and gave it to me like that witht he words 'hope you're grateful, had to walk all over and they cost me £70"!!!!!!!!!!

I am of course on strike.
He hates salmon so I have taken some out for my dinner tonight.
Put a wash on last night and onbly washed mine and the girls stuff.

I'm going out to De La Guarda on Sat with mates and I paid for both our tickets (ddi that a while ago).

What an arse he si.

I blanked his birthday last year cos of what he did with the shoes and how he was the year before that as well, but it just made me feel bad nothim.

No advice needed, no sympathy, nothing, just want to slag himn off really, job done.

Nice slagging!

Wait till the girls can tell him off for Mum's Birthday!!

gothicmama · 08/08/2006 15:47

Happy birthday - he sounds just like my dh treat yourself at his expense I do every year

Orlando · 08/08/2006 15:47

First stop John Lewis.co.uk. Buy outrageously expensive cosmetics. And accessories. And silk pyjamas.

aaronsmummy · 08/08/2006 15:49

Our 13th wedding Anniversary yesterday - he went golfing after work and didnt get home until 10pm. He didnteven open his card. They are all tossers [she says sweepingly]

Orlando · 08/08/2006 15:52

Could you take the girls out for tea somewhere tonight (can't remember how old they are-- one's tiny, I think?) in honour of your birthday? Or just somewhere for a piece of cake? You deserve some sort of birthday ceremony, and I'm sure they'd like it.

Thomcat · 08/08/2006 15:56

He's going to be all annoying and try and be all pathetically nice and try and get round me tonight. Hate that. So when I say "oh get off, it takes more than 'oooh i'm sorry baby' to make up for another year you've done nothong", he'll get all annoyed and peed off becasue I don't want to know.

Why won't he learn that i want to be made a fuss of once a year on my birthday. Is it really that much to ask???

Didn't get a card from his mum either.
And the only presents I got were from my mum.

Suppose I should accept that at 35 no-one but my own mother gives a toss about my birthday aye.

Arrr nice idea orlando, but the 4.5 yr old is asleep in car by the time I get her home and the 7 month old needs a bottle a cuddle and bed soon after gettign in.

How was the big chill? Lots of my mates went and I didn't

CountessDracula · 08/08/2006 16:00

oh yes and he is a tosspot

Send him down to the Count for some lessons, he is good at pressies

CountessDracula · 08/08/2006 16:01

and Happy Birthday of course!!!

Orlando · 08/08/2006 16:01

Champagne. Preferably pink.

Loathe birthdays myself for this very same reason. Came to the conclusion this year that in future I was going to plan and organise exactly the day that I wanted instead of feeling bitter about no-one else doing it.

cazzybabs · 08/08/2006 16:01

Happy birthday! Maybe Lottie is saving up her present for you - I don't know - her putting a big smile on your face!

Northerner · 08/08/2006 16:02

my dh is like this too. So crap.

Thomcat · 08/08/2006 16:19

Orlando - you are so right. Will learn, eventually.
Saturday will be a great night thought, De LA Guarda's new show at the Roundhouse and then onto my brothers bar for drinks.

Drac - Big Chill ROCKED. Had the best time. Loads of mates and my cousin all hanging out in sunshine, getting smashed listening to amazing, amazing music in beautiful setting. And no kids! So shouldn't really be worrying that DP blanked my birthday. But actually no sod it, he should treat me like a princess a least on just one day a year. I deserve to be treated like a goddess more than once a year tbh, I do so much for him and he is generally quite rubbish, but I reckon once a year to be spoilt isn't being unreasonable. He's a twat and I'm in the right, so there.
Shall enjoy cooking for 1 this week, and possibly the week after as well!

Happy Birthday for yesterday TC
Generally when it comes to birthday's all blokes are crap, apart from PPH's iirc.
Was my birthday 2 weeks ago and as we are skint due to just getting married, moving, new car, new baby and DD's birthday I told DH not to bother about my birthday and I would just have some money for myself when we are a bit better sorted and what did he do last week .........

........ come home with a Slendertone body thing for himself for absolutely no reason whatsoever, his birthday is in November .
Blokes are just amazing I think

Clarinet60 · 08/08/2006 20:47

Happy Birthday Thomcat, it was mine too last Monday, so another Leo to add to my collection.

I've had crap birthdays from DH too, but not this year. Sorry yours was.
