[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is weird that your DH went to your nephew's games. It's not like he was seeing a favorite college or professional team play, as many posters seem to think. But I also agree with the crowd saying that the birthday person gets to decide. I would have been really disappointed about the dinner.[b] I know my 4 year old would be really sad if her daddy wasn't home for a planned birthday dinner. [/b]I hope you get it all worked out!

I really appreciate your comment.[/quote]

Oh, for crying out loud.  With a four year old all you have to do is tell them that you are celebrating on the day after his birthday.  After all, that's how most birthday celebrations and parties work - they happen on the weekend regardless of when the birthday happens.  And, for some people, seeing their nephews play is a really big deal.  [/quote]

I understand your statement if there was no expectation of a birthday celebratory dinner on the actual birthday, BUT when you have made PLANS to have dinner with your family and stated this to your children then the children have an expectation of seeing/celebrating with their father and of course helping their father blow out the candle and eating cake that evening.

I am very patient when it comes to my husband seeing our nephew play football.  Even my MIL has mentioned that most wives would not tolerate how understanding I am of his frequent attendance at the football games and scrimmages.

Basically, I was upset and I wrote my feelings in this forum as I felt at that moment.  Yes, my word selection was dramatic, but I feel my emotions were valid.  I appreciate the constructive criticism and positive feedback.[/quote]
