I'm disappointed that my husband didn't get me a birthday card from my 6 month old. I knew he wouldn't, as he always thinks that kind of thing is silly, so have spent the last few days reminding myself he wouldn't get one. But this morning when I opened my cards and there wasn't one, I felt a bit sad. I made a joke about 'did [Baby's name] get me card?' and he said 'well, she can't write so no'

I know that it's silly, and I usually agree with him about that kind of thing but I would have been pleased to see one. I got him a father's day card from her when she was newborn in the summer.

Can I have a talking too, please!

So it's pretty split, isn't it!

Well, I told him I would have liked a card and he said it was silly and I said I know it is but I'd still like it. Only 364 days to wait to find out if he'll take note!

@trulybadlydeeply - there’s nothing to apologise for, but thank you. Don’t worry my son hears none of my nonsense. Happy new year x

Update: got a card and some flowers this morning from the baby. Not quite the same but nice to know he took it on board and I can keep my first mummy card to look back on over the years.
