Ok today is our 18th wedding anniversary. DH is not overly romantic or demonstrative. Anyway we are trying to make economies due to various expenses recently and a family holiday coming up. I got DH a nice card which i’d put away earlier on in the week and DH’s Mum had sent a card earlier on in the week which I popped on a shelf to open at the weekend. I reminded DH to phone his mum yesterday as she’s not been well. Anyway when he came off the phone it was obvious she’d reminded him on as he suddenly announced he had to nip out to Morrison’s for something. He gave me some Morrison’s flowers this morning and what I thought was a nice card with a long verse only to read it was a birthday card!!! I’m mad that he had forgotten and his mum had to remind him on (which she’ll get a lot of mileage out of relaying this to my BIL SIL
and other family and friends and mad that he got me a card without even reading the bloody verse!!! He normally says oh I got you a card with a lovely/nice verse etc. My parents never had much money but my dad always got my mum a nice card and a bunch of roses. DH’s brother always goes over the top and takes his wife away over night to a nice hotel and a Michelin starred restaurant which they brag about on FB. I am peed off WWYD? DC and DH have been laughing about it this morning I have quietly slipped off into the garden with the dog.
