to book my own mothers day lunch?

[hifi]

dh will probably remember on the day so i thought i would do it today to save the hassle. aibu?

well if you book it, you are sure to get the restaurant you want - and before they all book up.

as for my dp - i doubt he will remember in time, he will rush out the night before to the local tesco extra and grab whatever card and flowers left, then offer to cook lunch but ask me incessant questions on how to do each item of the cooking meanwhile i look after dd - same as last year!

So I may take your lead and book somewhere nice now!!!!

Yes take control as men are hopeless at this!

yes, you are doing the right think. Men = feckless.

bollocks - when is mother's day? had not realised. I couldn't care two hoots about it but my mum will!

Sunday 22nd

don't know about being unreasonable but its a little sad.... also if you do it now thats it you'll be doing the rest of them.
my dp is completely useless for anything like that as well but sometimes he does come up trumps and surprises me.
if you really want the occasion marked out how you want it then organise it yourself cos you'll obviously be disappointed or are expecting to be at whatever he does manage or doesn't manage to do.
maybe ill book myself a massage as a present from dp......... ;-)

no do it, at least you'll go out!

mother's day is the same day as my dp's 50th so after that and his mother's mother's day, i'll be right at the bottom of the list

Is your dp your son loopy?

The clue is in the name Mothers day where we appreciate our mothers not our DWs or DPs that would be valentines day.

IMO YABU

Ignore the our

depends doesn't it on the circumstances... my dd is too little to do anything herself for me ... but it would be a lovely gesture if dp did something on her behalf...just like i did on Fathers Day which he lapped up!

I wouldn't. All teh places that do nice lunches will be stowed out and probably over priced. I'd book for another sunday.

hmm good point, might do saturday and stay in bed on sunday then.

If you want lunch then do it! I booked my own Valentine's Day lunch (had to be lunch because we have no babysitter yet) because I knew there was no way dp was going to ask around all our friends until he found someone to come to ours for a couple of hours while 10mo dd napped and book the restaurant. Pigs will fly before something like that happens! He's awful at "special" days like birthdays, etc, but bought me a lovely t-shirt as a present for no reason yesterday! (I'll have to remind myself of this little gesture when he forgets Mother's Day!) Anyway, we had a really lovely lunch and coffee and cake at a cafe afterwards (our first meal out since dd was born) and no-one got huffy about "not getting anything for Valentine's Day" or because "these days are a pile of crap anyway" etc...
