[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope OP returns and tells us if DH knew about the week in WV. [/quote]

DH confessed that he was involved in the planning, this was supposed to be a surprise. 'It's so hard to get everyone together, we can go to Florida any time'. :roll:

[b]I told him I am taking DCs and going to FL to celebrate my day. [/b]If he wants to come - great. If he'd rather spend time with his parents and siblings - fine too. I don't get a ton of leave, I am a frontline worker. Once a year I want my birthday to be about ME, not about someone else's feelings.[/quote]

If my spouse planned a birthday party for me and people spent a lot of money making it happen, it would be world war 3 in my house if I refused to show up.  I wouldn't do that to my spouse, but if I did, it would not go over at all.  [/quote]

Yeah this is all bad.

[b]What I would do is first plead with dh to fix the problem [/b](by that, I mean get us out of it).  If it's just impossible, or If I'm satisfied that wwIII would break out if we cancelled completely, I would go along to get along, but only for one or two nights. I'd save the rest of my paid leave time for a florida trip later in the year ( or sometime soon).

I could see this happening in my family and this is how I'd handle it.

are you a child? I am an adult and I do not plead with my dh to resolve things. yuck.[/quote]
