So we've never really been massively into Valentine's day as in buying expensive gifts but usually buy each other a card, I usually get my annual bunch of supermarket flowers and have something nice for dinner such as a fancy takeaway or a nice m&s meal.
As I am on maternity leave & budget is a bit tighter than usual, I brought the subject up and said not to bother with gifts.
We spoke to a friend who said what food they'd ordered for tonight and DH said we will do the same and he'd sort it.
Today, I left his card by his bedside as I got up earlier with the baby and he came down saying he felt bad he'd not even got me a card (although not bad enough to nip out and get one!) and surprise surprise, nothing ordered in for dinner.
Am I being unreasonable thinking that this is the first year as parents and a little appreciation wouldn't go a miss for all I do for him and DD?
First year of parents has been difficult in the way that we don't get much time to ourselves (do parents ever?!) plus lockdowns have meant we haven't even been out for a meal the two of us since DD was born but he talks about how he feels neglected as a husband and I can't help but think he has a cheek!
I do as much as I can to take the pressure off him and for DD, washing, cooking, cleaning night feeds etc and I didn't get a card, not even a facebook post 🤣
