I am tired of the same exact issue the same time every single year. It all starts a few weeks before the bdays! My hubby has a bday this weekend. The sd14 almost 15 has a bday on Sunday, My dd21 has a bday on Tuesday.

It's the same every year. The 5th weekend of the month also coincides with weekend. Every year. It's not new.

Well, hubby is calling sd14 about the weekend. And wow, she won't return his calls, just texts him back short replies. Today he got a text that said, i want to at least spend some of the day with my mom. Well duh, you're dad normally takes you back mid day on Sunday and it would stand to reason that you could spend that part of the day when you get back with you mom. Why even bring it up except to drive home a point that you don't want to be with your dad. We get it.

Now he's up in the air again trying to figure out what to do. He didn't get to see her on his last weekend bc she had way too much homework and just couldn't make time for him.

What I think is hilariously funny is that we both know that at some point little miss bratty will cave in to at least have lunch or something bc she's not going to miss out on the gifts and money from family!! She'll throw him a bone in order to get what she wants.

Also, I know she's a kid. I realize that. But every single year we almost ignore my hubby's bd in order to celebrate sd14's bday so that she can be the center of attention. If just feels odd. I mean if she lived with us and we were a normal home, we would celebrate each person instead of just focusing on her alone.

Anyone else have these types of issues surrounding birthdays?? It's frustrating that it seems that every single year it's some huge battle. Like they are shocked it's come around again and that we are asking about it!!!
