I know I am but need to vent...

Just a crappy crappy day from start to well now. Facebook is awash with this is what we did and got to mothers day which is absolutely fine and I'm glad people had such a lovely day. But mine has been such a drain of a day irrespective of it being mothers day.

Woke up several times in the night by the youngest. Ended up getting up at 7am whilst DH slept. Made everyone's breakfast including my own. Had some lovely cards off the kids, flowers and chocs clearly bought last minute as he asked last night what I like (I'm not ungrateful but it annoys me that I always put in such an effort for DH from the kids when it comes to fathers day). Arguments throughout the day with kids bickering and to top it all off I'm back at the stove making tea. Kids started bickering again whilst DH sat at the table reading a book. By that point I'd have enough....took a glass of wine, told him I'd be back down in 15 mims to finish the tea and he can sort the kids out.

I sound like an ungrateful whiney cow I get that but by god I needed to vent!! I know I'm being unreasonable but please allow me to wallow in self pity city for a while!

I'd have taken his damn book and shoved it where the sun don't shine! I'd say to him in private that you are not impressed with his half-assing Mother's Day and inform him he will receive the equivalent on Father's Day

YABU for not telling him to finish the tea and not taking the bottle with whilst you enjoyed some time to yourself.

My kids and DH forgot. They are all gaming upstairs and I'm eating dinner with the dog.
We aren't really a card giving family so I wasn't actually expecting anything, but a verbal Happy Mother's Day might have been nice.

Wallow away!

My DH has baught me (on behalf of the toddler) the one brand of chocolates he knows I can't stand. They are his mum's favourite so maybe that's where the confusion is? Assuming he will realise when I don't eat them but I'm not sure.

Yanbu to have a moan but why do you go to such an effort for Father's day of he can't be bothered to return it? Stop doing so then at least you would feel less resentful. Does he ever cook, if not then yabu to expect him to do so but if he does then he is just being a lazy arse. You should set your standards higher and instead of quietly seething tell him you would appreciate more effort next year.

Repeat the same for Fathers Day.

LittleLadyCece · 14/03/2021 18:53

Sceptre he does cook to be fair. I usually so Sunday tea it's my own fault for assuming he might do it today.

Thanks for all your stories and sorry to hear similar things are going on out there!! Bath and wine tonight for us all! Flowers

You've just had a bad day. No need to apologise for getting things off your chest. Flowers
