Triggered today: H has been asking me for some time what I have planned for Labor Day Weekend since our D birthday is Sept. 1 and its my weekend. So far I havent figured out if we are going away upstate or what, I think we should have a kid party the following weekend when more kids will be home. He suggested a few weeks ago that we go to my parents vacation house that weekend. Today he sent me this email

Hey
Have u figured out labor day?
Just trying to figure out the weekend on my end.
Or should I just plan on celebrating D's birthday that following weekend?
Thanks


It is a pleasant email. I just feel like he is looking for excuses not to spend D. bday with her. Like he wants us to go upstate so he can plan another vacation. I dont get it, doesnt he want to spend the weekend with his D. Wouldnt the default position be, What time should I come over on her bday?

I have never been into bdays but all my daughter talks about is turning 4. She gets me excited for my own birthday. I will shield her from knowing that its her actually bday but it hurts me so much that he wouldnt do anything to be with her on that day.
