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?

Oh and mugging here organised for a bunch of flowers to be delivered to my MIL from her three grandchildren (DD, SILs two DSs) for Mothers Day. Why am I doing this for my MIL, you would think I had a good relationship with her and actually cared!

I am calling a lawyer first thing on Monday!

Loving you work OP.

I can't even LTB as I already have and you know what that twat has done!!!

He has organised the DC so that I have woken up this morning to a huge pile of gifts, home made and shop bought cards, poems, tea and toast. He has also telephoned them and they are now cleaning their rooms and getting ready to walk the dogs. He has also pre ordered chinese so that I don't have to cook!!

I am incandescent with rage

I got up as usual at 8.15 sat in peace and quiet for an hour with a cuppa.
then went upstairs ranting about how everyone else but meeeee gets a lie in and breakfast in bed.
I am going for a swim now. When I get back housework will be done, lunch on, kids homework done. Works every time. AND I get to bring it up several times a week for the rest of the month.
A quick lie in, breakfast in bed then business as usual the rest of the day? No thanks, I play the long game

They didn't even give you a creme egg?

9.45

The evil sadistic bastards

Two words: Divorce Lawyer

Flossy that's scarey. His seriously bad news. Can you get a restraining order first thing on Monday. In fact call the police immediately.

Brilliant OP. Come back and tell us of some more if their misdemeanours

I already have Gym the police were understanding and are arresting him immediately. He has got a nerve invading my mothers day like this and taking over making me feel all special and shit.

Yes. I think it's time to end it all. It's a right bummer being awoken at a quarter to ten with croissants and coffee and presents you can't be arsed with. Please just throw yourself off a cliff but before you do let your man know how to read a woman's mind. We don't know if you don't say. Has mothers day had it's day? I think I would make it a mothers day week! Clean the house (but only if I didn't do that in the first place), do all the cooking (but only if I didn't do that in the 1st place) & also earn all the money (but only if I didn't do that in the 1st place). Have a great day. Mark

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

GymBum - DH pulled that passive aggressive crap on me one year! "Thank you, darling, for keeping the housekeeper/gardener/nanny on task so that I can work 90+ hours a week to climb the career ladder" he scrawled. "Thank you for accompanying me on all those tiresome business trips to New York, Bermuda, Milan and Blackpool; looking ravishing and being charming to clients".

I told him to fuck off to the far side of fuck and take his narc mother with him!

"Thank you for accompanying me on all those tiresome business trips to New York, Bermuda, Milan and Blackpool; looking ravishing and being charming to clients".

I bet you the bastard gave you a black AMEX with unlimited funds to spend as you like whilst he was "working" and the nanny was "nannying". He clearly doesn't get how hard you life is Op. I don't blame your for telling him to fuck off! WTF

Oh Hun, so sorry hubs & bubs are so literally rubbish, pacifically the worst post I've seen ever.

(Hugz) & hope they fuck off to the far side of fuck and stop trying to love you. Selfish gits. It's YOUR day. xxxxx

You're not going to that squalid-looking hotel are you?
Why don't you send the nanny with your DD instead?

YABU - because Emma Bridgewater stuff is sublime.

i feel for you OP... but deep breath.. and have some unmnetty hugs!

Final straw: DH thought it would be "pleasant" if we had Mother's Day lunch at Pizza Express. WTAF? Does David take Victoria and their brood to Pizza Express to celebrate what a wonderful mother/designer/singer/role model she is? I think not

So I'm flouncing to the local cafe for a cup of tea and a slice of toast and a bit of me time which is all I really wanted ...

You should get an au pair too, for when the nanny is in the shower.

It's an absolute disgrace.... Have you considered posing for some sad face photos in the Daily Mail? I'm sure they're waiting for your story. How much is your house worth, btw?

My little girl (5) painted a porcelain rabbit and made me some paper flowers.

She has ransacked the Easter stuff I had planned for art and craft, but no matter - she did it all by herself for her Mummy

And I got a lie in (babysitting late last night) And she helped make a cup of tea. Darling little lamb!

YANBU

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's brown-nosing.

micro talk about brown nosing! Got handed this by 14 month old DD as part of her "little surprises". I told her she needs to learn to change her own nappy or potty train. Now that would be impressive and very usuful

Forgot to attach

Call 101 OP, they'll know what to do...

For you
