Instead of with me and our 1 year old, is this weird ?

His birthday? Not weird at all. Your birthday or your child's? Weird.

In my opinion, yeah a grown man choosing to celebrate a birthday with friends instead of his partner and child is immature

Maybe he wants a child free birthday. Do you have childcare? Me and my husband never spend a birthday without each other but we do arrange childcare so we’re not on parent mode

Think there is a way to balance both.

His birthday, not even a little weird.
I think a birthday is a perfectly appropriate day to have a little child free self care.

I spent my birthday without anyone, first time in years without being parent and it was bliss. My husband stayed home with the kids and I went for a massage, lunch by myself, nails, haircut, shopping, coffee, bliss.
I don’t think just cause you are a parent you have to spend every single day with your family. Your birthday is for you to do what you want to do.

A birthday alone as a parent is something needed lol. If he goes out all the time with them I would feel some kind of way

My partner would probably do something with his friends for his birthday but I would also plan a dinner or a day out for us two as well.
And vice versa !

I’d probably find it odd if my husband did it, but only because he literally never has 😂 but honestly if he told me that’s what he wanted I’d say go for it! He doesn’t spend enough time with his friends, it is important.

It's his birthday he should be able to do what he wants. I'm assuming he is with you everyday and how often does he go or with his grounds. It's a treat for him to be without the kid and with their friends instead.

Did he make plans with you as well? If not, yes, weird. If he is celebrating with both, alright.
