I had very little vacation when I was working, and DH only has 10 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153510 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 15:54:55 +0000 psw27 1153510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @lilteacherbee my DH is a Thanksgiving baby (on or about usually) so we tend to be home together. </p> <p>We have never taken the day off for mine, but in the past I had finals or its been on the weekend since we've been together. Maybe when it ticks back to being on a weekday I will make us take the day off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153502 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 15:50:31 +0000 yellowbird 1153502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking off for mine this year, he will be off anyway. We usually go on vacation around his bday. </p> <p>I'm making it a point to always take off on LOs bday! Luckily it will fall on a holiday a lot of the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153486 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 15:45:57 +0000 HellOnHeels 1153486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. This year was the first year we actually had an evening together on DH's birthday. He's not a fan of birthdays, but he does try and take time to spend with me on mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153476 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 15:38:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1153476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes we do!</p> <p>hope your day goes by quickly so you can spend some QT with DH!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153395 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 15:04:32 +0000 Charm54 1153395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No never...my birthday is in the summer though so I'm always off (I'm a teacher) but DH works.

DH doesn't like celebrating his birthday. (Unless we're going to a hockey game or something.) He doesn't like to make a big deal out of it.<br /> I've taken the day off for my birthday to get my hair done or go shopping and have a 'me' day though, lol</p> <p>And I take DS's birthday off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153148 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:24:47 +0000 autumnlove 1153148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153142 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:22:36 +0000 Marfi 1153142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't, however this year I did but it wasn't for a good reason. We had a treefall on our power lines the night before and we were trying to get that taken care of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153135 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:20:01 +0000 Alivoo01 1153135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I plan to for DS's birthday though!</p> <p>@shinymama: LMFAO!!!

Now my birthday doesn't mean as much to me! I'd rather take hers off. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153062 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:05:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1153062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not our own birthday, but we did take off for LOs and that will be a tradition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1153054 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 13:03:37 +0000 Mae 1153054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope we do not.

I did not take the day off, and he didn't take mine off last week either. We sometimes try to grab lunch together, though. Today I have a doctor appointment so my husband is leaving work a little early to meet up with me for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152972 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:44:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 1152972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I'm a SAHM so no. DH hasn't take off for mine, although he did take off for our anniversary and the day after (so it would be a 4 day weekend), and he's planning on taking off on my birthday next year since this year he ended up having to work late and didn't get home until around midnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152951 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:39:00 +0000 HabesBabe 1152951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for mine, but the hubs is born on the 4th of July, so the whole country celebrates with him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152949 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:38:50 +0000 bhbee 1152949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shinymama: haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152947 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:38:28 +0000 bhbee 1152947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no but we often take our anniversary off to do something together </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152938 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:36:24 +0000 lilteacherbee 1152938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's birthday is almost always on or near Thanksgiving, so we are off together anyway. We don't usually take time off for my birthday though because its at the very beginning of the school year and we are both teachers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152935 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:35:27 +0000 shinymama 1152935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. :sad: I try to have something fun delivered to his office though. I really want to have a barbershop quartet sing happy birthday to him, but one of us would die {he would either kill me or die from embarrassment}. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152933 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:34:46 +0000 mrsjyw 1152933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we usually don't. haven't unless we have a vacation planned (which we used to do a lot around bdays). Friday is DH's birthday and I WFH... he'll be getting home a couple of hours early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-time-off-for-birthdays#post-1152924 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 12:31:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1152924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since I started working (9 years) DH and I have been taking half days on each others birthdays. </p> <p>Today is his birthday and we didn't. I feel so badly and missing him like crazy!<br /> Usually we would go out to lunch then do whatever the birthday gal or guy wanted. </p> <p>3 more hours! </p> <p>Do you take time off for your SO's birthday? </p>
