We are not in the UK, it’s mother’s day today.
Kids gave me breakfast in bed and cards and homemade bits from school and have been super excited all week so that’s been lovely.
But DH hasn't arranged anything else for today... We’ve got a bare fridge and the shops don’t open on a Sunday here. So nothing for lunch. Or dinner. Or at best something randomly cobbled together because he hasn’t given it any thought.
No plans for even just a walk somewhere... I really don’t expect big fancy stuff but the fact that he’s put no thought into today has really upset me.
He’s a sahd whilst I work full time so he could’ve at least made sure we had food in to eat today. Sure I should’ve checked yesterday but we were out all day and a part of me assumed that DH would have something sorted for today.
A walk with a sandwich would’ve been fine. Just to know he’d put some basic thought into making it a pleasant day would’ve felt special.
I’ve got all upset now. As I said, I didn’t want a big deal (god knows he’s not capable of that tbh) but a little tiny effort would’ve been nice.
FWIW I always arrange something super nice or fun for Father’s Day. He does s lot for us generally and I like to acknowledge him for that and try to make him feel special and appreciated. I don’t do it to get the same back but it just hurts that he that he doesn’t think in the same way...
I’ve had a tough year and have been super stressed lately. We live away from home, things are horrible with my parents at the mo, they wouldn’t even know it’s m-day today, so I think I’m feeling a little sorry for myself that even DH couldn’t just try to make it a nice day.
