It isnāt at all and I donāt think thatās what I said. Neither do I overlook the typically gendered nature of planning and responsibility either. I just like birthdays.Idk. Is it unfair to others to be made to feel special a couple times a year? I don't really think it is.
But as mothers who take care of everyone and everything except ourselves and are then made to feel like we don't matter on days we should matter most unless we plan it? That's so wrong...
I got a text message!Oh that's been me today with our Mothers Day. I got a "card" - piece of paper folded in quarters that he literally just did in the room with me right at the end of the day. Took him 5 minutes.
I feel so appreciated right now![]()

What are we having?Time to make dinner
It's 2 months and 9 days till mine. I bloody love them. Anyone's. But mine too. What's not to love? A day that's all about you and you get to have fun and be spoiled and spoil yourself if noone else does. And you can just get away with most things and say... pfft. It's my birthday. And then other people can roll their eyes and then you laugh and have fun and its the best.Just wondering how many people really love their birthday or dread it? And why? I'm curious...![]()

The big 30. That's about the age I started to feel more like an adult ( lasted about 24 hoursIām turning 30 this year and honestly, Iām kind of loving the idea of leaving my 20s behind. Thereās something really magnetic about this milestone that feels both grounding and electric.
That said, celebrating it will feel different. Bittersweet in a way thatās hard to put into words. But still, I think Iāll find a way to make it meaningful.

I love birthdays mine and other peoples too. I'm in the camp of celebrating all the occasions that we can. In our family everyone gets to pick their birthday dinner restaurant and we go there for the family celebration. (sometimes a favorite home cooked meal is picked and that is fine too. I don't pick home cooked meals because cooking for myself on my bday is not what I want to doJust wondering how many people really love their birthday or dread it? And why? I'm curious...![]()

I mostly ignore it. Maybe it is weird--I don't mind receiving attention for something I did, but I don't like attention otherwise. And for my birth, my mother did all the work, I just showed up. I don't really know how to process the attention, I guess. And my ex, especially the last several years of our marriage, didn't give enough of a fuck to do anything special (one year she suggested a bunch of places I go in Portland by myself, as a sort of half-ass scavenger hunt, then went to a movie with our daughter. One year, my present was a gift certificate for a hair cut), so that probably soured me on it quite a bit as well.Just wondering how many people really love their birthday or dread it? And why?
