Just that really my son been up got his breakfast as into gym and health. Gone back upstairs in room. Daughter same.
Oh gone to work which he has to but because son and daughter over 18. One is 20 and other 21 he thinks they adults so feels he shouldn't have to remind them.
Sitting in kitchen on own now drinking cup coffee and treat I bought myself.

Oh is very generous if I ask him for something and always offering stuff when out but Valentine's Day was after thought where he ordered roses diliveroo and everything just feels not much effort. Hope I don't sound like I feel sorry for myself but I do😂

More sad re two adult children today as done a lot for them and a homemade card and one picked flower would have been nice. Just someone thinking of me.

Got parents coming later so will be cooking dinner but I do all that as dad unwell.

Am I pathetic
Probably

I was having an ‘unfortunate event’ 😉 as well Lemony.
Finally got a text at 11pm last night. Apparently the Wi-Fi wasn’t working 🤣🤣🤣

Just wondering now if the postmen were on strike in Exeter as well 😂

Bit self absorbed here too. Card from daughter. Son) bought for u at xmas and birthday.. 21. All about them isnt it. I def dont run after my kids now. Lol.

Slightly
Hope everyone else had a nice day in end despite selfish self centred kids.
One day they will hopefully be in same situation and feel same as we all did today little s....

I'm going out next year. Told them today.

I told them today

They looked uncomfortable but I'm glad I told them

I'm actually thinking of going abroad for a nice holiday next year in the sun.
Can't wait.
Stuff them.
If I'm at home we are going out for a meal or I am going out for a meal.
No one bothered yesterday so they can all get stuffed including oh

They can probably sense that

This isn't only about Mother's Day op, it's about day to day life.
It sounds like you do a lot for them. Do they do anything for the household and family?

You don’t need to put in a way that causes them to say you’re starting an argument.
Be very clear on what you’d like them to do for you next year. Make it explicit.

No

Why wait until next year? Why not book something luxurious for yourself now and leave them all to fend for themselves.

Ok op. It's time to lay down some ground rules. Maybe stop with their laundry, tell them they're cooking one dinner a week and cleaning up, they can pick up shopping and so on.
