DH didn't say Happy Birthday to me.....

[Anonymous]

He knows it's my birthday because our kids gave me hugs this morning and sang to me. Never offered to bring home dinner either. He just assumes I will make it (as I always do).

Is this typical for him?

"Hey Jason, just a heads up: since today's my birthday I'm not making dinner tonight. That's my present to myself. I'd love for you to make something Italian for dinner - not pizza. If you don't, I'm taking myself out to dinner alone."

Say what you want. Don't sit around hoping it'll happen and then get angry it didn't.

And sorry.

And whatever you do - don't make dinner. Especially don't make dinner in an angry way.
If you have to schedule a birthday dinner out for everyone somewhere. If they don't want to go just go yourself but don't cook anything.

Honestly, birthdays should just end when you hit 21.

If you want people to celebrate your birthday you have to tell them (1) when it is and (2) what you want them to do.

"Larlo, I was thinking I'd like to celebrate my birthday tonight at that Italian place. I can make a reservation if you're too busy."

1). He did it intentionally because there's a surprise at the end of the day.

2). He did it intentionally because he's a dick.

3). It was inadvertent. Which makes him a self-absorbed dick.

Make reservations for you and the kids. Leave a note and a package of ramen.

Happy Birthday!

I don't know what is up with your dinners every day, but hopefully he gives you some cards and flowers after work!
