I’m really upset at the moment, I had a baby 4 weeks ago, have a young toddler and older child at home, we all live at home with their dad, my husband. This morning I’ve had a card which was lovely, a few hours later I did wonder if I had any flowers, so I asked my husband have I got any flowers ? His answer was no, I asked why, he then went on to say in a funny tone because I haven’t had chance to get any yet, that would’ve been fair enough but he proceeded to tell me I was cheeky and unbelievable for asking for flowers, he can’t believe I’m expecting something and made out like I’m really grabby.
So I got upset, it’s Mother’s Day ffs, am I actually cheeky for expecting a small bunch of flowers ?
He then goes on to say how all I’ve done is moan lately, how I’m an emotional wreck etc
I’ve just had a baby so yes I am still emotional. But the only time I’ve moaned at him is when he’s taken a horrible tone of voice with me, which is quite frequently atm, and I’ve had to pull him up on it several times recently.
He’s a hard working man and pulls his weight with the kids. But he does have this horrible side to him and talks to me like shit alot of the time, and he doesn’t seem to see why that might upset me ? He is overwhelmed with work yes but I don’t think that is any excuse to speak to anyone, let alone your wife, like that.
So now we’ve had an argument, I’m crying on Mother’s Day, no doubt that’s because I’m an emotional wreck. Not his fault, it never is. Can never say sorry unless it’s forced.
I think I’m a good person, I look after all our kids to the best I can, cook all his food, make him lunches for work, wash his clothes, clean the house and expect nothing but love off him, and apparently I’m cheeky for expecting some flowers on Mother’s Day ?
I’m not being unreasonable am I? Do other Mother’s think they’d get some flowers on Mother’s Day too?
