Birthday card

It’s my birthday today ♥️🎉

My partner has kindly bought me a card from him and from his two boys (my step sons) which was lovely and appreciated.

I haven’t got a card from my unborn child - am I just being a birthday drama queen or is my disappointment justified? I have asked him he said the supermarket didn’t have any cards from ‘bump’ but if that was me purchasing the card I’d of just got a happy birthday mummy card. I’m in the latter stages of pregnancy for context.

Aibu to go and buy one myself?

Rather than querying whether the shop had the right card, query which aisle they sell 'a grip' in; go get one of those instead

Bloody Hell

You sound like a potential nitemareGrin

Good luck

YABVU and Happy Birthday! Flowers

Sorry OP, I think you're being precious. You are allowed to be though so go and get some chocolate and give your head a teeny wobble
Thanks

Well they sell cards from bump so I don’t really think I’m being THAT unreasonable to expect one.

I think I’d be being unreasonable if I expected a present, but a card, they do sell, for various occasions I.e Mother’s Day, father’s day, birthday, Christmas.

Oh some people really have got a bee in their bonnet over this🤦🏼‍♀️ You might wanna stop off at Costa on your way to work and get yourself a nice calming cup of tea to settle Yourself down 😂

Please don't tell the OP that her baby isn't a baby. Why do people feel the need to push their views onto people so heavily.

Jessbow · 18/10/2019 08:16

Of course you are right to be disapointed.
of course he should have got you a card ( and present) from your bump.
And from the Cat
And the dog
And the Robin that flies into the garden

You asked the question and a resounding answer. You’re the one with a bee in your bonnet over not getting a card from your unborn child. Get a grip.

AllyBamma · 18/10/2019 08:18

**’and got an resounding answer’ that should be

WaterSheep · 18/10/2019 08:18

Pinkyyy I don't believe anyone is pushing views, they're just using the correct terminology.

I asked a question and explaining the reasons when I’m being I’m a nightmare, pathetic, I need to grow up etc

Aibu is pretty brutal but im sure it’s not a forum designed for others to call posters whatever they please 🤨

Would you have satisfied if he'd written "and bump" on the card from him and dsses?

Plenty of time for cards when they’ve popped out. Hand made cards are well worth waiting for.

OkayGo · 18/10/2019 08:23

Happy birthday op you're definitely hormonal!
