Just feeling fed up and hormonal.22 weeks pregnant. Dh has never been great at marking special days eg Valentines or at facilitating things for Mother's Day. Obviously I am a grown up and can treat myself but it would be nice to matter a bit more.
For example we met Mil and Sil for lunch on Mother's Day (a sad day for me as lost own mum just over a year ago). The plan was to meet them and than go shopping so the kids could get me a little treat for Mother's Day.
During the meal dh was chatting about the £150 he spent on a treat for himself. No one said o that extravagant now you have a new baby on the way. I just happened to jokingly say that we were going to get a gift for Mothers Day and I was still owed a valentine gift. Mil response was along the lines of well you have to forget about that now you got a baby on the way. This annoyed me especially as dh didn't respond.
After the meal dh made it perfectly clear that he really couldn't be bothered traipsing round shops. Unless we knew what shop we wanted to go into and buy clearly he wasn't interested. So still no Mother's Day gift.
Since than dh has spent £60 on a gift for ds when his birthday was less than a month away.
More recently we had a small windfall and mil said make sure you treat the children. In fact he ended spending the whole lot on the children.
I know I should appreciate that he likes to treat the children but than at other times pleads poverty.
