ruined birthday

So today its my birthday. My 7 year old daughter did not wish me a happy birthday to me this morning. I reminded her it was my birthday on our way to her dads. She said she forgot then got upset so I said 'dont worry you can make it up to me this evening when you get home from daddys'

Then I get a text from him asking if she needs to be home for a specific time for any bday plans. I say no the usual time of 6pm is fine, is she ok??

Yes he says its just that she wants to stay down here later with her cousin.

SO instead of being honest and saying 'i would like her home please as its my birthday' I get all stupid and say ' well have her for a sleepover then and i can still go out for a birthday meal!!' This was childish of me as I know she wont want that!!!

'oh no he says she doesnt want to sleepover why dont you collect her after your meal tonight??'

I am so upset, playing his games I have ruined my own birthday. My cards and presents lay unopened and I thought she would want to come home to see me.

He did this on purpose and I allowed him to pull my strings!! Hes now sitting smug with his family while I am fuming. Cross with my daughter for being selfish and cross with him for being an arse, but mostly cross with myself for walking into his trap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
