Mr. Husband is a very content man, as are his boys. Celebration is a very personal matter for them. I am different; I just need a reason to have fun. Ajey, my firstborn, is somewhere between his mom and dad, while Anand is like his dad. Ajey wanted something different and fun but without much fuss.
Ajey's birthday was one of those occasions when the four of us went out. Anand loves going to the city for walks and didn't question the place or food, agreeing to go with us. That was a big deal in itself. Ajey chose an upscale place in South Boston, and Anand did listen and dressed up appropriately.
Once we reached there, he found a small store and went to get his fast food. I was worried that it might create some issues, but our server didn't care. The restaurant was totally empty, which was helpful too. We were there by 5 PM on a Sunday.
Anand had his usual soft drink, tried tacos and kebabs, and decided this was not his kind of food. He made himself comfortable on another couch and enjoyed his phone while the three of us could focus on food, drinks, and conversation without worrying about Anand.
Every family outing is such an unpredictable outcome. If it doesn't work out, I question it, but when it does, it surely encourages me to do it one more time.
What is your take on it? Would you keep trying, or would you avoid taking risks?
