This has happened to all of us- live and learn and be wiser of it.
Have a contract- do contracted hours for your parents, then everything else is bonus. I learned that here.
What is the point of working if you are just working yourself into the ground and no good to your own family. You didn't even sound thrilled about doing the one thing your child requested and that is the fun of having children-
Demand to be celebrated on your birthday. If nothing, then you do good things for yourself. Make it a family tradition that Birthdays are days for celebrations for everyone in the house......then decide how you want to do it. Eat out, special presy, be treated like the Queen for the day.......whatever you way you want to celebrate. Do this now.........so you don't regret it when your older and become a tight bleep hardened women. You have one life to live, celebrate it to the fullest. Your hubby won't do this for you then you do it, and you show your children how others should be treated. I was sad for you-
hugs, we all have those days. Good people try to please all the time and better people know when enough is enough and try to balance both ends-
Happy Birthday~ Best-
