[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, we usually do pizza movie/game night on Fridays.  A few minutes before I got home from work, my husband ran out and got some frozen pizza, a small cake and a card and made it home at the same time as I did. So my birthday wasn't completely forgotten but it was not a special Friday at all.  I don't expect presents or a fancy dinner etc, just something thoughtful. Typically, there are a couple handmade cards and a treat with a candle.  This is what I have come to expect in years past. That is all.  I wanted to vent and I got to vent.  Now back to enjoying the rest of the weekend. [/quote]

OP, your kids are getting older and you are an adult. Speak up and tell them what you would like on your birthday. "Honey, kids, this year for my birthday we are going to get Chinese and watch a movie I pick. Don't make any plans that night. One of you also needs to get a special dessert: cupcakes or cheesecake would be great." or "This year I want to do something totally different for my birthday. I know money is tight so let's go on a picnic at that park we use to go to. The kids can help me make sandwiches and, honey, you will need to get the dessert."

The end.[/quote]
