my h turns 30 next month

[jennlin]

and it annoys me that he doesn't want to do anything.

we've been going out for years for every single one of our friends bdays, etc...h and i never do much for our birthdays..but 30 is the exception i think...he doesn't seem to think so.

i suggested bbq at home, casual dinner out, happy hour...not interested in any.

this is half vent, half request for suggestion of other very low key things.

Just throw it for him anyway I mean, come on, if the Birthday nazi wants to celebrate, sheesh, get on on board! ;-)

Karaoke? Board Game Night?

Yeah that was my H for his 30th last year. We ended up tagging on the celebration to a friends halloween party and it worked.

I think home bbq could be super fun except for the prep/cleanup that needs to be done. What about at a nearby park? Planning activities, ie cornhole, bocce etc.

Is it sad that my H will be turning 40 next year? Haha.

Anyway, yeah, just do a birthday thing anyway. Send the kids to your ILs and do something low key at the house. I like the idea of karaoke or board game night - something simple. And couple it with a BBQ or something that guests can bring sides/fixings to help out. And don't forget wine/beer! He'll appreciate that you actually did something later on.
