FFFC

Let's hear them!!

I'm seriously wondering if I can get out of going to our friends' daughter's birthday party on Sunday. DH would probably be pissed if I didn't go, since he did ask (back on Monday, before I knew we were out for the cycle) if we were going, and I said it was up to him, but I'd been planning to go. Now though, I just really don't want to.

    I would say you're "not feeling well". I mean AF is a bitch right? Stay home and drink wine if you don't feel up to going.

  • Well at least there probably won't be a chance that they use your friends' daughter's birthday cake as a gender announcement. Because that would be absolutely shitty to do to someone.

    Hope you found something fun to do today if you didn't go!

    Lol. Could you imagine using someone else's birthday as a way to announce something about yourself?  Lol. Today is nit about you! AW much! Ugh. Birthdays are so hard sometimes, especially for us 3t ladies. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that on top of it. I was really nervous about going to a multi family thanksgiving dinner this weekend because I just couldn't bare any announcements. 

    I hope your h is understanding of how hard it can be on us, op.

    Unfortunately Spongie, yes I can. When we had OUR housewarming party 3 years ago, with all my family and friends there. Ex-SIL announced they were expecting #3. And she knew that we were having trouble. And that I thought I might be announcing at my housewarming party, but I told her the day before that my hunch was wrong and I was on my period. But she did it anyway, even though she only knew us and MIL, FIL and ain't and uncle. All other guests awkwardly said congrats. It was the meanest thing and most selfish thing anyone has ever done. Keep your own shit at your own parties people.

    OP did you end up staying home?

  • Cinco's story reminds me... An engagement happened at my wedding reception. Douchebags. I'd be more bitter but their engagement was called off a few weeks before their wedding.

    I was pretty annoyed though. Not to sound like Bridezilla, but that was my party.

    No, shit. I would be livid!!  The only thing I shared at my reception was ME saying Happy Birthday to my matron of honor, whose birthday was the day after. I made the announcement on the microphone at midnight.  Because I chose to AW her a bit.  She didn't make a peep about the fact that it was her birthday. 

    I will never understand people  that don't realize there IS a time and a place for everything.

    The birthday party is at 4 today. DH understands it'll be hard for me, but I haven't backed out of going altogether. I need to go get a birthday gift, we'll make an appearance, and hopefully we don't have to stay too long. I'm trying not to think about it until I have to.

    And I hope to God there are no announcements.

    @nieceyK - I did. It was my sisters birthday. But... It was her idea. She said she wanted to find out on her birthday and cut the cake.

    If she hadn't requested it be that day, we wouldn't have done it, for sure.

    What a douchey thing to do! Here, let me take you to dinner that somebody else paid for and drink wine that somebody else bought and I'll use their biggest celebration to AW myself.

    Your sister is more gracious than I am. I don't share my birthday well. My niece was due on my bday. Everybody talked about how cute it would be if we shared a birthday. Uh no. I get my day. She gets her day. And yes, I would have dealt if we had the same birthday (she is practically a mini me) but I still don't want to share.

    Yeah she sure is gracious! If someone did a gender reveal on my birthday, I would stab myself. But that could just be because I'm an infertile.

  • I think it's one of those times that you have to know the audience. If it were my mom's birthday, she would be sooooo excited and so honored that we'd share that on her day.

    If it were my birthday, I'd be so angry and so hurt. Like, I would leave in tears and forgiveness would take some time.
