to take myself out for Mothering Sunday. Alone?

[AtYourCervix]

I love the Ds passionately but my god they can be unutterably vile sometimes.

SO having handed over the gifts, sulked through church and come home in raging foul moods I am tempted to drive off and leave them to it.

I shall go and buy myself a good book and go and find somewhere picturesque to read it. IN PEACE.

ANd when I get home I expect the house to be tidier than it is now.

sounds good to me!!!

I think that is an excellent idea. the house getting tidier during your absence it is an unlikely expectation though.

Sounds perfect.

i also expect homework to be finished, rooms tidied and a decent meal waiting for me.

Yanbu. I've actually had a lovely morning and am looking fwd to afternoon in park and visiting mil and dp's family, but secretly I'd love to slope off for a rare spot of solo shopping and take myself out for lunch.

Hope your day improves whatever you do

Just go out, get your book, have some peace, and ... turn the lights off when you come back. No expectations, no problem.

I like that phrase... "Take myself out for lunch" :)

The act is even better than the phrase maelstrom :)

me too. I am about to 'Take myself out for lunch'

Hooray!

Can i Join you ? Dh has bought ds (12)a card & gifts to give me , hung them on ds's door but ds still has not given them to me even though both dd's handed me their gifts in front of him & he has now gone out to play

Gosh I could get some babysitting I would be already out.

Well if they've been vile - that's a bit off. So perhaps you should go our and find some peace - it is YOUR day.

Mine - I must admit are quite attentive on Mother's Day - they're probably older than yours though.

I'm going to do the same! Although won't be for long cos DD will need to be fed. I intend to enjoy my lunch while I can"!
