Hopefully, someday baileykat's pre-birthday will be something they can laugh at instead of being a sore spot.
I say graciously make dinner plans with him paying the tab and then leave it at that.

(But, I do hear what you're saying, Kim. Some guys act like they deserve that.)

Y'know your way is probably the hepest

. It will be a birthday to remember and joke about in the years to come. I don't think I'd be upset for the day being wrong....it was a great surprise. But what would have ticked me off is the response she got when she told him it was the wrong day. That's what I think he needs to apologize for.

And NA...very clever response.

I think my first thought would be embarassment - for him and the kids and, also, myself because it wouldn't know how to tell him.

I think I'd tell him quietly and then say I appreciate the thought - even if it was the wrong day. I'd also probably joke that I couldn't WAIT to see what he had planned for tomorrow.

No matter what, its a difficult situation.

Yeah, say that. Good one.

You guys are good!

I actually thought later that I should have waited to tell him it wasn't today...maybe not in front of the kids....BUT...they knew it was tomorrow...I think they were just playing along!

Kat actually said "Dad got me up so early...I couldn't focus and forgot that it wasn't tomorrow yet!" She's so sweet!

I totally love the idea of "maybe something bigger is coming...." hmmm...I'll have to ponder that for awhile!!!

I've almost forgiven him...except for the fact that two years ago...he forgot the anniversary! But we won't go there!

And thanks for all the PRE birthday wishes....

You know...I was just thinking...I could play this into a yearly thing!

"Well LAST year, I got presents on two days...what about this year?"

Could work in my favor....

There is the answer...he was going on New Zealand time!

I think it is incredibly sweet that he planned that. Better a day early than late, right? My reaction without even thinking would be to say that it was tomorrow. I would be pissed that he stormed off, but not that he got the date wrong (unless he was a day late.) Claire's right, men are asses sometimes, but it sounds like you've got a sweet one.
