AIBU to be really pissed at husband for this?

[Sunnyeb12]

I am sat here half of me really cross and half of me trying to put things into perspective. I've put out my 3 DCs advent calendars ready for the morning. I've also put out the dogs (lol) and made a special one for DH, filled fabric pockets with sweets/ nice IOU tickets and scratchcards. DH comes home and doesn't say anything, sees the calendar so I say... do you like it then? And he says yes is it for both of us (?!) and I say no just you. (No thank you from him for it mind you) He says he left mine at work and now he feels bad. Two issues I have... obviously I feel he's lying and doesn't actually even have one for me. And two... why is it ALWAYS the Mum/wife that constantly thinks of others and puts in 110% for the sake of others happiness while the DH only think of themselves. Now I'm annoyed cos I'm the only one in the family who has nothing for the morning. But... reading that back is it really petty? X

Oh and I won't be buying the dog a present either.

OP - I do stuff because I want to, because it gives me pleasure, because I love Christmas and I love my DCs. Because I've always done it and it forms part of our family traditions. I don't expect a tit-for-tat. And I don't put expectations on my family that they must do x,y,z for me and if they don't then clearly they don't love me....

Chopstick Dogs KNOW stuff

Ha ha, mine knows where he food is and when the cheese is out, 25th December or not!

her!

Why not tell DH you're annoyed about the lack of a calendar from him, OP?

Maybe you could find out if he values family traditions as much as you do?

Honestly, my dh would think I'd lost my marbles if I made him an advent calendar.

It would never occur to either of us to buy one for each other.

This morning my dd opened her Lindt advent calendar that I had bought. My dogs were given the dogs chocs from their pets at home calendars, that I had bought, dh opened his M&S truffle calendar, that I had bought, and I opened the Tesco crap calendar I bought for myself. Then I went upstairs and tucked into the Smirnoff Advent Calendar I secretely stashed :)

One day soon you will find the will to be crafty OP :) Wishing you well x

I can't get my head round the idea of grown adults having advent calendars
