This husband is one of those people. A beloved fan of his childhood tradition of waking up to a birthday cake every birthday morning! This husband grew up with lovely birthday traditions that he wishes to implement in his own children's lives…The thing is, his wife is not as behind the idea of cake for breakfast, even if it is only a few times a year!
So when his only birthday request this year was waking up to a birthday cake, he was heavily disappointed to discover that his wife dismissed his only birthday wish! He tried to let it go, but after realizing she hadn't planned anything for his special day, he knew he had to speak up…However, he was immediately met with a defensive response as she called him childish, and ungrateful for wanting to keep a little slice of his childhood with him through the years…

Man’s “only birthday request” is to wake up to cake in bed, but faces disappointment when his wife refuses to honor his childhood tradition and plans nothing for his birthday, later calling him ungrateful: 'It makes me feel like she doesn’t really care'
There's no better feeling than being appreciated and loved, especially on our birthdays!
I was lucky enough to be blessed with a mother who, during my birthday month, somehow managed to turn into a professional shopper, baker, and party planner all at once…I'd go to sleep every night before my birthday, knowing exactly what to expect, and there was something truly comforting about knowing that I'd never wake up disappointed. It wasn't even necessarily about the amazing gifts or the decorations she had spent all hours of the morning hanging up…It was the way it made me feel so seen and valued.
Isn't that the whole point of birthdays anyway? Ensuring those we love know how grateful we are for their presence on this earth! I still remember when I first moved overseas years ago…I was completely dreading having to spend my first birthday without waking up to a room filled with balloons and the sight of the sparkling candles…But somehow, as we get older, we attempt to take some of that pressure off that special day, as we realize that it may never feel as perfect as it did when we were turning 5 or 9 or 16…But that does not mean every single person feels that way (cough, cough…me). Some people still try very hard, even if we don't admit it, to keep that magic alive. Even at 42…
