So, this is my 2nd mothers day, DS is just under 2YO and DP forgot, so it wasn't celebrated :o( I am actually really quite upset. We do live overseas, and here it is not Mothers' day and so i actually hadn't realised until yesterday, when i noticed it on fb and mentioned it to him. This morning he got up and went to the gym as usual practice and I looked after DS. He came back and i casually mentioned it, and he scoffed at me that I had forgotten too. I see his point, but i quickly emailed my mum to make up for forgetting and then ordered her flowers to be delivered. Feel guilty i forgot, but have tried to make it up. We were going out for a picnic anyway, and i said nice and breezily, oooh should we buy me some flowers as it is MD, and he was a bit peeved and said i should leave it up to him to decide when he buys me flowers. I just thought that we could BOTH treat me to flowers, as not trying to place all the blame on him. Anyway, i just told him that it does matter to me to be made to feel a bit special on MD, and that if he doesn't next year, I will celebrate it myself.
But i feel really peeeved. I made such a lovely effort for fathers day, made him a really special gift and now i feel like why should i bother when next fathers day arrives, but i don't want to be petty and 'forget' just because he didn't remember. Especially as i want us to be a family where we do make an effort for fathers's day and mothers' day.
I am not cross that he forgot, because there were no reminders here, but i just wished he had then made an effort to make me feel special for the day :( He is very stubborn and i know he won't have liked me pulling him up on it, and that would deter him even more from doing anything. But I wasn't about to pretend that i didn't care. Now just mildly pissed off.
Rant over. Am i being unreasonable?
