DH vent

Monday is my birthday and I had mentioned to DH about 2 weeks ago that I may want a little party the weekend before. Nothing big just a few friends and to grill a few burger. Usually when there is a cookout at my house I do all the work but I didn't want to have to plan my own party.
Fast forward to this week, I asked him so what are the plans. He told me he talked to a good friend of mine at work Monday and that he was going to see who was interested. No one can come b/c it is short notice. He didn't think of any of my other friends so no GTG. I'm kinda bummed b/c my DH SUCKS when it comes to being thoughtful and planning. He is a great gift giver but spends too much money on gifts b/c he thinks lots of money=good gifts. I would much rather have a sentimental gift than a $300 dollar one.
I think we are going to grab dinner on Monday and he'll get me something but it is not what I really wanted. Oh well. I'm done whining.

Boo! I'm sorry! It sucks when you want them to do something for you & they just don't get it.
I'll tell you though... about 5 or 6 years ago I left it to DH to plan for my birthday and it was a disaster. I was so upset and disappointed and it really sucked. Since then, I've taken my birthday into my own hands. If I want to have a party, I plan it. If I want dinner out, I plan that. There's a part of me that wishes I didn't have to plan my own party/dinner/whatever, but honestly, it's worth it to me to know that I'm going to enjoy myself and have the birthday I want.

That stinks! Unfortunately sometimes - it's just easier to plan something yourself. Hopefully you can still see a few of your friends this weekend for an impromptu get together - maybe for lunch or some coffee at least!
That stinks, I am sorry! I have the same type of situation with mine (he didn't even remember it was my birthday until 1/2 way through the day this year).
I pretty much either have to tell him exactly what to do and buy or forget about it. He keeps a running list on the laptop of gift ideas and I go in and update it.
I hope he comes through and maybe surprises you!
I am sorry! I hope he makes it up to you in a acceptable way, not just with an expensive gift.
Although wouldn't a new lens be great if he wants to spend big bucks?? I mean if he can't make it up any other way
