Funny H Story

[theatre4life]

I will preface this by saying that this story entertains me to no end, and that it is completely random.

My H and I have been married for three and a half year, and have been together for almost 11 years. Apparently when we first started dating (and even now gets thrown off), he was convinced my birthday was on the 28th (it's on the 27th). Now my birthday has never been a big deal for me, so I never really thought about the fact that his parent's always wished me a happy birthday on the 28th. Until last year, when my H admitted that he had told everyone "back in the day" that it was on the 28th, because that is when he honestly believed it was. He was like "I feel completely awful about it." I laughed, because it made it all make more sense.

Brought to you by, receiving an e-mail from my FIL wishing me a happy birthday (on the 27th) with the story of how he and his sister got into a really HUGE fight about when my actual birthday was. I feel like they are way more invested and concerned about it than I am. But, at least I have cleared it up with that side of his family. My MIL, still convinced it is on the 28th, lol.

That's sweet of them to make any effort to wish you a happy birthday, even if it's been on the wrong day all these years!

I can't remember if my IL's have ever called, emailed, or sent a card for my birthday... but they do for the H. And our birthdays are only a couple of weeks apart. I don't really mind, but I guess they just don't think of me as much as your IL's think of you!

You might have to "show off" your new driver's license when you get one to the MIL, maybe she will take note of the official birthdate and get it right even if it's been a confusion for a long time!

That's kind of crappy that your IL's don't recognize your birthday, especially if they do do it for your H.

Yeah, that's the thing, at this point in time, it just seems awkward to correct her (or anyone for that matter). And with my FIL, I would have let it go, if he hadn't told me about the argument, and was clearly looking for clarification. My H says it's my fault because I don't make a big deal out of it. I say in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal.
