YABU but that's because you are being a matyr about it, go drag him out of bed, men like to be told things rather than have to be guess as nice as it would be for them to realise these things sometimes.

YABU.

It's Mother's Day fgs so you got up early and your dd wants to play with you. Enjoy being her mother, don't get all bitter because your dh hasn't brought you tea in bed. You're not his mother. If your dd is at an age where she can't organise treats / thanks for you from herself, appreciate what she can do.

at being cross because she's leaning on your arm. If she wants to play with her mother on Mother's Day you shouldn't be MNing and bitching about it.

Oh don't get your knickers in a twist MrsMrs, I think as much as most people on MN would say they love being a mother they would also say it's nice to have a break every now and then as well.

dilemma - dump DD on bed, drive to nearest hotel, check in, go to bed.

YANBU!

MrsMrs · 22/03/2009 09:08

I know that.

I just remember all this from MN last year Oh it's my special day they haven't made it special enough for me blah blah blah, foot stamp, lip thrust, etc.

MrsMrs, but for some people it is a special day, just like some people celebrate valentines day I think as long as that wish is conveyed to their partner then their wishes (up to a certain extent) should be respected. If a poster came on here and said I got a cup of tea in bed and a lie-in but they should have bought me a diamond necklace then I would agree with you, but in this instance despite the OP requesting help her DH is still in bed.

MrsMrs · 22/03/2009 09:15

I do take your point Libras, and I do see that these days mean more to some than others, and that's ok, but I also think if it was Father's Day and my dh dragged the duvet off me twice and shouted at me to get up and celebrate his being a great father, and that I had to get him a cup of tea, and he was cross because he had to act like a father on Father's Day as well as every other day of the year, I would be very .

Lemontart · 22/03/2009 09:16

Normally I would be right there by you, being mildly irritated that DH is still asleep and I had to get up as all the other damn days of the year and do all the organising, tidying and brekkie making etc.

However, after reading the BBC news site and seeing that Jade passed away this morning has made me feel a teeny bit guilty for being so pouty about it all. Going to take my girls out for a girly morning in the sunshine and celebrate being happy and healthy with them both at my side. DH can have his lie in as he was up late working, and should be suitably humble later

LibrasJusticeLeagueofBiscuits · 22/03/2009 09:17

Actually I agree MrsMrs which is why I think my hotel idea is the best, no shouting required

MrsMrs · 22/03/2009 09:21

Gosh we are terribly civilised today. What, no bunfight??

I agree with mrsmrs. Small children get you up early - is the point of Mother's Day not to appreciate what you have got?

I get up at 6am every day. Big deal. That's what parents of small children do, isn't it?

It's a beautiful sunny day - turf the kids out in the garden or send them down the park with DP for an hour and have a long soak in the bath.

[sigh] I didn?t want this to be about the media circus endless argument about Jade Goody. I am not some kind of blinkered "I love all celebs and believe everything in the media as gospel truth" - I was just saying that after reading about that, it made me realise that I had plenty to be grateful for and that I should enjoy what I have got as it is a hell of a lot more than many people waking up this morning. Sometimes you read stuff that just pulls you up sharp and makes you adjust your focus. For me, after slopping my mug of coffee next to the computer in a bit of a strop that DH was asleep and I was most definitely not, within minutes of reading the news, I had a big change of outlook

Sorry you are having a crap morning dilemma. Hope you get the sleep you want and that your DH shakes his arse out of bed and gives you a little bit of attention x

Dilemma - can't you sort of 'aim' it so it only wets his side of the bed?
