Mothers day

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?

@Winniethepooh88 I hope you ended up having a lovely day and went for your meal out x

Update:
I went out with my children for Mother's Day surprisingly it wasn't as stressful as I first thought.

Take it as a sign of bigger picture where you manage more than fine without that waste of space...

Good for you OP. Glad you went out and it wasn't too stressful. What did OH do? I hope he only had beans on toast or similar 😉

Delighted to read that. I hope he went hungry - probably just raided the cupboards though.
If you do his laundry stop now. Concentrate on you and your DC and make plans to dump this selfish excuse for a man.

Sympathy on the loss of your mum 💐

I'm glad you went out, hope you had a lovely meal.
He can support his football team but not his wife. Says it all really.

I’m glad you and the children went, I hope you enjoyed it. I’m really sorry about your mum, it’s hard isn’t it?
I’d decide now how I would like to be treated next Mother’s Day and spend the next few months planning how to make that happen.

Aw, glad you went out. Hope you had a lovely time

@Winniethepooh88 you might think we're all being a bit harsh here but this isn't really about football. There's such a bigger picture.

Losing your own mum meant he should have realised how hard that day was going to be for you, regardless of what he has done (or hasn't done) other years. It's not the football, it's the thoughtlessness and you deserve so much better than this Flowers
