So since I left my DH, he has left the house and is STILL trying to get me to stay with him. This weekend is my birthday and of course he is not available to do anything for me and the skids don't even remember. Even though for DH's birthday I took everyone on a camping trip to Yosemite and bought us all a pricy birthday brunch at the Ahwahnee. For SS12's birthday, I took everyone to a resort at the beach for the weekend. For SD17's bithday, I took her on a spa day at the Four Seasons. I am not joking. DH wasn't with me last year for my birthday (before we got married) because he had the kids that weekend and (wah), they weren't "comfortable" with that. He didn't even try to trade weekends with BM or do anything the next weekend.

I asked him what the hell was I getting out of this relationship at its most trivial level of my "immediate" family (ie. him and the skids) don't even do something with me for my birthday two years in a row, blow off mothers day (we had a nice BBQ for fathers day), and I spend all of MY special days in the year with my friends? Ummmmm.....no thanks. I think we'll continue the divorce proceedings and I'll find a man who can buy me a $2 birthday card/cook dinner one night a year.
