So how many Mothers were ‘taken out for lunch’ today, but still had to cook the family supper?

I’m very grateful I was taken out for lunch but thought it was unnecessary & expensive….would have preferred to be treated at home…husband also benefited from lunch out but when he showed no signs of cooking supper….I did it….am thinking DH missed a trick by not actually cooking a meal for us all. What’s the point of Mother’s Day after all? I have previously said please don’t let’s go out for lunch on MD it’s like going out for dinner on valentines (cheesy.) Happy Mother’s Day to all!

My partner refuses to go anywhere indoors to eat at the moment because of Covid but picked up takeaway lunch and made dinner. However he cooks dinner 80% of the time. The special bit for me was the lay in!

I wasn’t taken out for lunch (we all have covid). What has happened the past two years is that DH cooks me a full English. Except I a) when asked I requested a bacon sandwich, b) I do like a full English very occasionally but it’s far from my favourite breakfast (but it’s DHs!) and c) DH uses every single plate/pan/implement and covers everything in grease so the kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it afterwards! I then have to point out that if it creates more work for me it’s not a treat!

Should have sat with your feet up and asking DH what he was making you for dinner?

This is why I love being a single parent. No annoying man. DD13 and I went out for a lovely lunch, then in evening she cooked no questions asked.

You’re clearly doing a great job at parenting.

No one took me out. I cooked. Absolute wankers. I detest Mother’s Day. And my birthday. It’s just raw hurt.

Supper? After your tea you cook another meal?
