Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
I am so sick of planning everyone elses and now my bday is next week and DH says "what do you want to do on your bday?"?
I am so mad..i told him i would stay home before I PLAN anything
For his bday he did no planning and I arranged an entire day of fun and I got babysitters
ok--vent over
I am not even one of those people who make a big deal over their bday--a dinner out would suffice

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
DH asks me what restaurant I'm in the mood to go to and then he takes care of it.
I bake my own cake - I don't trust him on that one.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
I think I hate it since I always plan things for everyone else--what we do for his family, what we do for DS and my family etc
so....sometimes I would like if someone took the reins
He told me I am hard to shop for, but this is my list of what i like
spas
books
beauty products
jewelry (not watches like he likes)
How is this hard?

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
DH plans, everyone else makes excuses, makes me uptight and I wound up not thoroughly enjoying a really nice time that DH set up. Next year it better be just him and me. That's it. I'm tired of people whining about going out and having a good time, since when is having fun an issue?

He usually plans a romantic dinner between the two of us, but I plan the party with our friends.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
I plan everyone's bday celebrations. I always try to plan something special for DH. Usually a nice dinner just the two of us, and then have friends meet up for drinks. And for the past two years I have sent DH on golf trips with his brother and friends for his bday. I always make all plans regarding my own bday, and I often step up to plan for friends and family too.  It would be so nice if just once someone could plan something for me.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
If I didn't plan, we'd never do anything, and that includes birthdays, weekends, vacations, dinners out... So that's a yes.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
I tend to plan my birthday...and everyone else.
I would like to not have to worry about it...but I don't forsee that happening.
DH did plan my suprise 30th along with a few of my friends....so I should give them credit there.
generally I am the planner and they just follow my lead.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
No, but I'm not big on my birthday and most people know it so there really aren't even any "plans" that day.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
My thoughts on this subject are never popular.
I am not a big birthday person. I feel that the only people who should truly remember it are my parents and DH. Everyone else is a bonus and I am never offended if someone forgets. I don't need a celebration year after year. I don't need to be in the spotlight. If someone wants to do something for me, terrific. If not, I'll never do it myself. I just do not think it is necessary after a certain point. However, if someone wanted to make me a party, I would be happy to provide them with a list of guests I would want to share the occasion with if it made things that much easier.
I know people who make themselves b-day parties year after year and their birthday's become national holidays. I think it gets to be a little much.

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
I would rather DH ask what I would like to do then to plan something I would hate doing. Usually his idea of what I would like and my idea are usually quite different so I welcome that question

Re: Do you plan your own Bday celebrations?
I sort of plan it. I usually tell DH three restaurants that I want to pick from and maybe on other activity. I dont really expect anyone else to care that its my birthday
LOL
this year was my first "married" birthday so my mom planned a special sunday dinner for me which was nice
