to be disappointed I didn't get breakfast in bed?!

[NotBreeVanDeKamp]

Please - I know I need a virtual slap across the face and I'm relying on someone here to do so. I was expecting at least maybe a slice of toast but all I got was a cup of tea which, and I know this won't help my cause, I get every morning anyway.
I know I am lucky but why am I upset then?

You have to tell your dh/dp/dc that you want breakfast in bed for mothers' day, they often don't work it out for themselves unless trained. Or would ordering it for yourself be too disappointing?

I don't think I would have got breakfast in bed if I hadn't told my dh yesterday that's what I want!

but isn't it obvious?!

I got cold toast with inch-thick butter and a cold, undercooked egg.

Mothering Sunday isn't about breakfast in bed though.

I cooked breakfast

sadly, no

I did.

you're right herbietea!

You get a cup of tea every morning!! Crumbs, you're obviously treated very well all the time so unless you ask for breakfast in bed I'm not surprised you didn't get it.
I got the lie in I asked for and the card me and DD half made was finished and brought up to me with chocolates and flowers and the washing up I cunningly left from yesterday was done. Fancy a 21 month old buying chocolates and flowers and washing up! She's just so clever! Made my own breakfast and will go out for late lunch with MIL. Yum!

perhaps I'm thinking of it more as a 'wife's day'?"

I cooked banana pancakes for us all. I'm not bothered though I can understand why you are. Brekkie in bed in theory feels so decadent, like being waited on, but you know in theory it's really crap! You are trying to balance a plate on a lumpy duvet, and not get crumbs everywhere, while your children jump all over the bed and do their best to upend the plate, think about it practically, at the table is best

Look on the bright side - it's my mate's first Mother's Day and her husband completely forgot the whole thing - not so much as a card

I got a bit of a lie in, and on waking I was feeling very happy, so went downstairs thinking there might be tea or breakfast made.

Got there only to find that DS and DH were playing and hadn't realised or remembered it was Mother's Day. No brekky for anyone and last night's washing up still there

My DH said "Thank goodness you've woken up! I feel ill" and then headed for bed!!!

I later asked if I could have the card I knew my DS had spent all week making at nursery

I GOT WOKEN UP BY MY HUSBAND ASKING ME TO WATCH THE KIDS SO HE COULD GO TO THE SHOP TO GET BITS FOR MY BREAKFAST IN BED... NEEDLESS TO SAY I WASNT VERY IMPRESSED.

WHY ARE BLOKES SO SHITE!!! NOT EVEN A BUNCH OF DAFFS FOR ME EITHER.
