Bloody football

[MrsBrown28]

My husband wants to go and watch the football on Thursday after work with his mates.......Thursday happens to be my birthday. He's at work all day any way and the kids are at school so we don't have any plans. Saturday we are going for dinner and drinks while my parents babysit. I don't have an issue with him going to watch the football even though it's my birthday. My friends say he's taking the piss...... any thoughts? Should he have even asked to go on my birthday? Would you be bothered?

You are persumably an adult and therefore can celebrate your birthday a few days after the event. I dont see a problem.

Being as he has already made plans to take you out it's fine he gets to watch the football. Not like its on every week!! Just add to your expectations of the evening out.

The World Cup happens once every 4 years. I think you’re being precious

As o said above I asked for thoughts on this as I didn't have an issue but my friends said he's taking the piss. I don't how I'm being precious

One of our football team showed up at our weekly session last night. It was also his 30th wedding anniversary.

However he had taken his wife away for the weekend so was allowed out.

@NewGrandad exactly if we didn't have plans for the weekend I'd be pissed off but we do, his working all day anyway so not like we could do much.
He's also at west ham on our wedding anniversary 😆 I'll never understand the fascination with football

If you don't have a problem other op then that's ok that matters. Why do you even care if you're friends say he's taking the piss when you firmly believe he isn't?

I wouldn’t have a problem with this, if other plans were in place to celebrate my birthday.

You want him to miss an England match for your birthday? Are you 12? You can celebrate whenever, this match is on that one day and with a team like ours at the moment it's more important than ever. I'd have made dh's life hell if he'd made me miss Sunday's match. Thankfully he's not a brat about it.

@zeeboo I asked for
Opinions not insults and if you'd have read my post properly you'd have seen that I said I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT!

You say you don't care but the title is 'Bloody Football'?
I think you do care......

@KlutzyDraconequus I'm not worried about what they think I simply asked if they fancied a film and a bottle of plonk as my DH is out Thursday and they said "on your birthday? He's taking the piss" I was just curious what others thought

I think you care as well, otherwise why start a thread?!

@femidom12 as above I don't care he's at work all day anyway and also at West Ham on our wedding anniversary so I very much don't care I also don't have any interest in football so bloody football was lighthearted and jokey

@ThroughThickAndThin01 for opinions

I don't see what so difficult for everyone to understand my friends said he was taking the piss I simply asked for others peoples opinions because I don't see an issue. What's not to get. No hidden message

No I wouldn’t have an issue with this either - you have lovely plans for the weekend to celebrate. The World Cup is a big deal to football fans (it’s all that DH and the DSes have talked about for 2 weeks now) so perfectly understandable he’d want to go and watch with his friends

No, it sounds like he discussed it/asked “permission” rather than just buggering off to the pub after work without so much as a text which would be taking the piss.

Your friends sound a bit competitively princessy imo.

I didn’t actually realise England are playing on Thursday evening, we are due at a function. Well that’s going to be half empty..

@KlutzyDraconequus haven't used any of that language nor called my DH any names or suggested I'm pissed off

@Member they are 😆 their husbands are allowed to fart without permissions

You can't post a parking thread without a diagram OP! [grin[

Just thought I would join the general 'CBA to read the OP properly' brigade....

I wouldn't be bothered, no. Seems like a good evening for both of you! Doesn't matter what anyone else says.

@TwitterQueen1 😆😆😆 thank you. I'd be glad for a girly evening with my friends while he watches football, win win situation

Hope you enjoy your birthday Mrs Brown, watching England play in the World Cup is essential viewing for all football fans, happens once every four years, whereas your birthday is every year. Come on England!!!!!
