Mothers day

[Winniethepooh88]

I'm 5 months pregnant with already two children, Mother's Day coming up and every Sunday I normally cook but as I knew Mother's Day was coming I booked a table and even paid deposit for us all.
today I found out that his favourite football team are playing the same time I booked this meal 5 weeks ago.
he's now said we have to cancel and he will go food shopping now so I can cook us a roast tomorrow instead.

let's not forgot the fact that I've never had a Mother's Day card in 7 years or even a bunch of £3 flowers.

aibu for being annoyed?

Is your own mother still with you? If so, invite her to join you and the children. If not invite a friend.

And put the bill on his credit card.

Go without him.
Don't cook the roast tomorrow.

YAB a bit U. He's done nothing for 7 years apart from impregnate you, it wasn't likely to be different this year.

Sorry, he wants YOU to cook a Sunday roast on Mothers Day so HE can watch the football? Not a chance in hell I'd be doing that. Take yourself off to the restaurant and enjoy a nice meal in peace (no football screaming in the background).

If you've never had a card or flowers in 7 years why did you think this year was going to be different? He obviously places no value on mother's day.
Is he always so thoughtless?

The difference is that she has booked the table, he just needed to turn up, he did't have to actually do anything. It's really not much of an expectation.

No you don’t cancel - he should cancel his plans to celebrate Mother’s Day with you. If he won’t, he can sort his own meal and you go out to the restaurant.

Why do you keep having children with someone so selfish?

Why continue to breed with such a selfish pig?

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice (well in your case 3 times) shame on me

i would take the children out to the restaurant on my own. and leave him. its very unkind of him to put football above his family.

@Winniethepooh88
Say "Erm...no Husband that's not happening. Either we go out to the restaurant or you cook or you order a takeaway. Cos I'm not cooking.
Also could you help the children make me a card and a bunch of flowers would be nice"

Although really you should have said that 7 years ago.

And why can’t he cook the roast?

Just go without him, obviously he’s an idiot but you no he doesn’t no Mother’s Day and are on your third baby with him so you can’t be that arsed by it. Celebrate it with your kids and leave him to fend for himself.

How relaxing is it going to be for her supervising two children while pregnant while waiting for Sunday lunch to arrive?!

No way would I cancel. I go on my own with the kids. Be kind to yourself and stand up for yourself.

Whoever scheduled that match has a lot to answer for it's causing a lot of carnage 😂

I know people have different views on Mother's Day, my mum told me not to send her anything this year because she thinks it's too commercialised. However, I have been angered by supermarket adverts offering discounts on roasts etc for Sunday lunch. I would think the whole point of it is that for one day the mum ISN'T doing all the cooking.

Have you told him you booked a table?

I'd just go without him

Why are you assuming mum will be doing the cooking?

Go without him. How has he "Just found out" about a fixture? they are set at the start of the season (with a few movements for TV schedules, but they are not last minute normally)

Stop now with the cooking every sunday. When you have 3 babies you won't have time.

Why don’t you go out without him? He’s selfish.

Yabvvvu. He says that and you're only annoyed?! I'd be seeing red

He's brave
He'd be wearing the roast if he said that to me
Stop being a doormat

I would be fuming frankly. I feel outraged for you OP. Invite a friend or family member to join instead and have a fab time.

And what a selfish idiot. to never have taken his children out to choose chocolates or something for their mum/helped them make a card, he sounds miserable.
