My birthday is Friday. I said I wanted to go out or have a party and my mom said before that we should have one in her yard. She never said anything else about and it's fine because I would rather go out. I told my sister last night to call my so as he is being secretive with me about plans.

Just now my mom texted me that we should plan to go out just us girls to dinner on Saturday at TGif. Me her my DD and my 2 sisters. Ugh no.
1- I hate Fridays. Shouldn't I get to pick at least?
2- wtf would I not want my So celebrating with me
3. Going out for my 30th birthday with me 3 year old DD and 6 year old sister was not what I had in mind. We are doing dinner my so, me and DD on the actual day.

So wdyt parenting am I wrong for telling her no?

    You are not being a brat, but if you know what you want to do then you should just tell them what the plan is and not leave it to them to figure out how you want to celebrate.


    ETA I hope that didn't come off bitchy because I didn't mean it that way. Basically I'm saying just take the reigns on planning. That way you know you'll get to do something you'll enjoy.
    Not bitch at all, but my so and sister both know what i want to do. In fact I told my sister yesterday I wanted to go to Texas Roadhouse. Plus my so is planning something.

    My mom does this a lot. Someone will be doing the planning and she will come in and try to.change the plans to.what she wants.

    Oh, okay I see what you're saying. You're absolutely not wrong for telling her no. It's your birthday, she can go to Friday's when it's her birthday.

    I agree w/pp.  Just tell your mother thank you, but you'd rather do "this" instead.  Tell her that you are going out w/so and DD on your bday and you don't want to do the same thing w/her.

    Maybe they're planning a surprise party and TGIF is just to throw you off? It sounds like there's a plan in place here.

    Maybe your SO can't go because he's making preparations?

    I think you should get to pick the place, yes. TGIFridays is pretty lame, even for a non- milestone birthday.

    Why don't you suggest something else to her?

    I did @Helenahhandbasket‌

    If they are planning a surprise I feel bad because I said no thanks to that plan and that I wanted to go elsewhere with a babysitter and my so there.

    @reesefox her birthday was Monday and she told everyone no to going anywhere when we asked which is not like her she loves a fuss thrown. I think she is regretting it now.
