Am I overreacting?

Question

Husband and I were talking before bed and I brought up how I’m stressing about our sons first birthday. Well people come, gifts, decorations, budget..etc
He said it’s just another day like any other day. Just a day like today or tomorrow.
Yaaall! For some reason that pressed the wrong button with me! 
I’m so angry! I said how could you say that about our sons first birthday being like every other day??? He said because it is!
My hormones must be jacked up from weaning from breastfeeding or something. 
Am I over thinking it?

Answer

Technically it is just another day. You have a right to feel however you want about it, as does he.

Answer

I’m sure he cares and it is a big deal to him, but he wants to help you calm down about it and not get too stressed

Answer

I can (almost) guarantee it was a typical man foot-in-mouth moment trying to help you calm down but actually making it worse. Sounds like he was trying to help you not feel as pressured. I wouldn’t read into it too much

Answer

Just keep it to yourself. It meant a lot to me too and my hubby didn't care. Like couldn't even help me pick a theme. it was annoying. so i just did it all. Don't let him rob the experience from YOU. Men just see things differently. its annoying but oh well.

Answer

How is he not excited!? Birthdays at all are exciting, but a first birthday is such a milestone! Yeah moms get more excited about it but gee he could’ve at least gone along with it for your sake. I’d be mad too mama. Try to let both of you calm down and then talk about it again?
