So depressed right now my 40th birthday is coming on the 7th of December and the wife just told me she’s got me an after shave set for £10. for her birthday earlier in the year I bought her £125 westlife concert tickets for her and a friend to go see them on the day of her birthday.which wasn’t cheap for a stay home dad I saved for ages. I have been hinting all year that it’s my 40th and this is what I get in return nothing not even a night out why am I even here on this planet at least my 4 year old son knows he keeps asking is it your birthday today. Don’t know even what to think I’m that depressed
Morning @Jeffepic
Maybe she has something surprise in store for you and what she is telling you is to keep you off the scent. I will be honest every year my wife asks me what I want for my birthday I always say the same thing and it’s to chill not to have to cook tea so get a take away and then go and play my computer in peace.(that’s what my hobby is)
Also like you I have kids so a big part is them giving me a card and saying happy birthday dad. I’m 35 and don’t feel like i am missing out by not getting expensive gifts etc but sit back relax and be happy with what I have got in my life. Just remember even if you feel a bit depressed there will be someone who is celebrating a birthday but might not even have a family that share it with them.
So in stock of all this…
1. Enjoy your day regardless.
2. Arrange for a takeout.
3. Enjoy some time with your kid.
4. Decide on if you wanna chill with a movie do a bit of gaming (if you do that)
5. Have few beers. (invite a mate round?)
Anyway I hope you have a good one mate. all da best
