A close family friend celebrated a major b'day last year. We(I, husband, kids) took them out for a dinner. After 1.5 years, my "major" b'day came. She said we go out &eat in the weekend.
Small kids, busy lives, we couldn't find a time that worked for all. 4 wknds went by - kids sick, kids parties etc.
She said, hey, your next b'day is coming around. Let's hurry up.
Friday's don't work for me - I'm dead tired. Sundays don't work for her - needs to get ready for the week. Next 3 Sat's looked undoable for both.
She started repeatedly pushing me to agree to go out on a Friday. I refused. Finally, we did go out on a Sat, but it was a 'chilly' dinner.
Question: I feel if I am celebrating something, I shouldn't have to go out on a day that doesn't work for me. She can take out 3 hrs from a get-ready-for-the-week Sun. Or we wait for a day both are OK with. She didn't want to delay much. she cld have: do nothing, gift card, small cake. Who was more right ?
