[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should tell her that a trip for two to the spa is your DH's birthday present to you and that you'd love to take her with you if you can find a day that works for you both or if she really doesn't have an interest, then get drinks and dinner on the calendar. Even though you think money may not be an issue, your approach to this is a bit odd. Don't overthink this![/quote] +1 It wasn’t clear from the invitation if you were treating or not. Often when you have a dinner/drinks whatever around someone’s birthday you end up offering to treat when otherwise you might split the cost. I would feel odd going to a spa treatment my friend initiated for her birthday and not either treating or having some alternate gift (like already took her to dinner for her birthday). The second thing is it did sound like this is the plan and you were going regardless, not that you wanted to go with someone and wanted the gift or their time to join you. Have to agree with other folks that it can be tough to find a block of time free of kids activities on the weekend - and when I do I normally want to rest or do something social that is low cost and within 2 hours like coffee, eat out with friends, or a rare movie.[/quote]
