Speaking of Dean’s birthday. I’ve made him a birthday cake pretty much every year since we met (that’s nearly 40). If I didn’t make him a cake or pie I have purchased one.
This year, because he’s experimenting with a (doctor recommended) dairy-free and gluten-free diet, I made him a dairy-free, gluten-free cherry cobbler (made with fresh cherries — my fingers are still red from the juice).
Guess how many cakes he’s made or purchased for my birthday over the years.
Zero. (although the kids made me a few)

Argh! Does he realise this? Maybe, next year, you go on strike.
Also, if I started Husband whines, I might not stop!
I have mentioned it but it does not seem register. If I made a big deal about it I would feel foolish if he begrudgingly made or bought a cake or pie. The kids knew and made sure I had a cake once they learned how to bake.
Good kids!
