So. Much. Drama. Good lord. He's a little bit the jerk for switching plans but you're a lot the jerk for being so over the top dramatic about it and also for making his birthday all about you and your vision of what should happen. Why didn't you go out with him and his mates and have the cake when you got home, whatever time that was, or have the cake the next day?
If she needs academic support, she can find it with her advisor, a tutor, a study group, etc. If she can't figure out how to navigate college without you doing it for her...maybe college isn't for her right now. You should go and grab the best possibility that you can and don't feel guilty about it.
Why don't YOU read him a book before turning the lights out for the night? Don't be so unnecessarily strict and serious that you miss opportunities to make wonderful memories with your children. Just because your parents didn't read to you at bedtime doesn't mean you can't read to your own children. I've never met a parent who had regret about reading to their children at bedtime nor any children who wished that their parent hadn't done so.
NTJ. The best response is probably to go over and tell him/them that they or their realtor must have mistakenly been under the impression that you provided maintenance of their property, but that's just not the case. Tell him that he can hire someone (not you) to do snow removal in the winter and lawn care in the summer, or he can purchase the machines necessary to do it himself. He really may be someone who has never done his own property maintenance and may be ignorant about the machines required.
