Venus, you share my sons bday!
I agree wholeheartedly with your post. 100%.
When I realised that my idea of a weekend away now is quiet relaxing, I realised for them that would be carting along a heap of alcohol. And I can cope with alcohol in my house, I had it here at Christmas and there's some (I don't even know how many) remnants of a six pack and cider left in my fridge. But when it's your birthday, it seems that a celebration of your life actually shouldn't have something that nearly killed you anywhere near that day. Or at least consumed in copious amounts by others. It's kind of sacred.
So I'm rethinking how to make that day special for me. Maybe they can come on the Saturday, but I have my real Birhday on the Sunday to myself or we can do breakfast.
28th is mine, Venus.
