[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your husband wants to sleep in and relax for his birthday, maybe the kids could take on a project in the house or yard to help him out, or cook him a special meal or bake cookies with supervision. It doesn’t sound like picking out a card and doing a craft project is their thing and that’s ok. [/quote] That would have been wonderful, but the thing that I’m trying to convey is that they did not want to do ANYthing. The cards were a last ditch effort to acknowledge the day. It involved a minimal level of effort. Guys, I asked them to add a couple of stickers and a sentence because THEY shot everything else down and couldn’t think of a single other thing. Do you honestly think I’m asking too much? Seriously?[/quote] I agree with you, OP. You didn’t ask for much at all. Next time, I’d tell them that they have to decide what to do a week in advance. It can be anything they want that doesn’t interfere with your husband’s wants for the day:[/quote]
