I want to start the tradition of taking DD on a trip for her bday each year. It would be great if the kids are there too. They are really great kids and should be treated with more care.
That's a really great idea! Just think, when she's all grown up, she can have an album full of photos of her on her b'day in a different place each year.
Sorry to hear that your H has been a pain in the butt recently. At least it sounds like there are still little moments of closeness though, like when you went shopping, or when he put the extra blanket over you when you were sleeping. It's great that despite everything else, you can still have friendly moments like that. Even if you ultimately end up apart, you'll still always be in each other's lives because of your D, so it'd be wonderful if you could at least stay friends.
