[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]

But "your spouse" planned a birthday party for "you" AFTER you ALREADY had vacation plans for that same week.  So if anyone is not having it go over at all, it should be "you".  I'm actually flabbergasted that you think it's fine for OP's spouse to have planned a surprise (!!) family reunion - I mean party for OP - while letting her think she was going on a quiet family trip to Florida.  How was that supposed to go?  'Surprise, honey, we're not going to Florida for your birthday!  We're spending the week with MY family instead!  Yay!'  Was this going to be the day they were supposed to leave?  They day before?  Yeah.  Bring on WW3, but it's the HUSBAND that caused it.[/quote]
