To be really pissed off with my thoughtless DH and DD

[ConstanceMoan]

All I wanted for Mother's Day was a lie in and a cup of tea and toast.

DH and DD woke me at 9.45 (so much for a precious lie in) and presented me with a tray bearing croissants, pain au chocolat and a cafetiere of coffee. And a new Emma Bridgewater mug to drink said coffee from. And a vase of flowers. And some gift wrapped stuff which I can't be arsed opening.

All I wanted was a lie in as I'm usually woken at 8.30 by DD (5) when she kisses me before she leaves for school every morning.

AIBU?

Sorry but YABU. I've received nothing, admittedly DS is 7 months old but DP hasn't bothered and it's my first ever MD

I would have loved to get the fuss that you did

(And I've been up since 5.30, 9.45 is most definitely considered a lie-in in this house!)

Move out and go NC. There must be some kind of refuge, surely...

You are horrible

May be you should write a REPORT about how awful they are.

Get a REPORTer from the local paper to write a REPORT about how awful your Mother's Day REPORTedly has been.

Only by REPORTing your trauma to others can this be stopped in the future.

Yes, agree with Fairy. Practise your Daily Mail sad face now!

My thoughtless DH and DDs have given me the set of French water glasses I wanted as well as some cards. DD1's selfish best friend has also dropped off the flowers she picked and left behind at BF's house.

This is AFTER I posted on another thread that I'd only had breakfast in bed. They have made me look stupid in front of hundreds of people I've never met.

They have just gone to visit DH's 95yr-old GM leaving me to read in bed.

I'm packing my bags.

Spa Day? The cheap bugger has only booked us a weekend away to this shit hole. Could someone tell me why I would want to be pampered in a bleeding cowshed? FFS

My first ever LTB.

Sounds like a great lie in to me.

DS1 came into our bed with a stack of books for me to read to him as my Mothering Sunday treat. At 6am. My suggestion that perhaps he should ask daddy instead while I got a bit more sleep was met with derision. DH was peacefully slumbering until about 8am.

YABU.

9.45? I had a 'lie-in' until 8.15. Dh made no effort to keep the dc even remotely quiet.

I had pancakes for breakfast (dc's choice). I have cleaned up the breakfast stuff, put the dishwasher on, stripped the beds and put laundry on. Dc have been arguing all morning. Dh has gone for a run. I've been ill all weekend, including Friday, which was actually my birthday, too. I am getting no sympathy on that front because my 'illness' is apparently due to some tablets I am taking for something which according to dh is "something ridiculous". Oddly, exhaustion to the point of not being able to function is not one of the side effects.

We are having a roast dinner later because dh has decided that's what I must want. It isn't. I want pizza. I can't be arsed with seven types of veg and three types of potato and chicken that DD2 won't eat. And especially I can't be arsed with the washing up that I will have to do.

YAsoooooNBU, your family are so selfish and thoughtless. My heart aches for you. :(

YABU as now I'm jealous. I was woken at 10am - now groggy from too much sleep as usually up well before - and dh has brought me to and a bagel. No sign of coffee or pain chocolate sounds nearly as bad as yours.

It's simply not good enough, your life sounds like hell on earth

I think you should sack your Nanny, she's clearly doing a terrible job at teaching your DCs to be perfect children.

Right I'm pretty certain op is a joker but now I can't tell whose replies are serious!

Mother's Day MN is a head fuck

was going to start a thread saying there were some ungrateful bitches on here today, didn't thint it would go down well so didnt!
Your way is much more passive aggressive! Like your style

I have similar problems OP. It is a living feckin nightmare I tell you. I am trying to watch Sunday a Brunch in bed, and they are all thrashing about in the kitchen making cake.

God I thought my life was bad.. I really feel for you Op. What a crap Mother's Day your having.

I understand how you feel. I got a similar shitty Spa Day and two Mothers Day cards.. One card DH has clearly dragged his butt out to buy and his written some sap of a note in it about what a wonderful mother/wife I am... Bla bla bla bla bla and the other is a folded piece of white paper with red pencil scribbles on the front and in the middle. Clearly this is some attempt by my 14 month old DD to make a card tight, get a job and buy one I say

DH doesn't understand why I cried? FFS, I am thinking of LB!

I was just about to yell '9.45am IS a fucking lie-in you lazy caah….'

Good work, good work.

that hotel looks lovely. Have a fabulous time.

My DS remebered it was mothersbdayn3 hours after we got up and asked if he was meant to do or say something special to me (TBf im a LP and he has asd!)

I am sat here in tears...........you poor thing. How could they be so damn cruel.

You work hard all year and this is how they treat you on your one special day!! Immediate action should be taken. Pack their bags and give them the boot. You don't need such thoughtless people in your life OP

Sack the nanny? Who else would look after DD and see that DH's needs are satisfied too?

Thanks for handholding and empathy. I just loathe the commercialisation of Mother's Day - that's what Christmas is for!

I woke at 7am. DC were still asleep. How dare they not be up before me.
