DH was just looking at the kitchen calendar and said to me: ?Don?t forget to pick up a Mothers Day card for my mum this week.?
It?s my job to buy cards and birthday presents etc so this isn?t an especially weird request ? I usually buy the Mothers Day cards for both sets of mothers and grandmothers. However, my mum died almost exactly a year ago ? the first anniversary will fall on Mothering Sunday.
There is no way I can go into a card shop and buy a Mothers Day card for his mum this year (or any year, actually) I just can?t. And I can?t believe that he thought for even one second that I could.
He normally supervises the DC in making homemade cards for me so he will have to make a special trip that he wouldn?t normally make to get his mum her card, but is that really such a big hardship in the grand scheme of things?
I?m not even so upset about the fact that he asked (well I am - how could he not think I wouldn?t mind?) but I?m hurt and furious that he can?t see why I?m upset and that he thinks I don?t have a right to be. He?s now annoyed at me for ?overreacting?. He?s said he?ll get the card himself, and I only needed to say ?no?, not make a mountain out of a molehill about it.
I want to kick him in the balls right now. AIBU?
