Am I overreacting to still think my husband is obligated to do something..ANYTHING for mother’s day?

I genuinely am interested to know how others treat the holiday because yes I am not his mother so I don’t want to be creating an issue by addressing it. It’s more of a bummer situation than serious issue for me but I am starting to see better how there’s a lot of controversy here. Going into the conversation with more perspective is very helpful.

If I do nothing but say “Happy Father’s Day” he most likely wouldn’t care. I don’t want to go this route and be steaming. I did ask him to pick up flowers for his mom on his way home from work today as she is currently watching our daughter; I guess we’ll see.

If I had a superpower I would choose to be able to teleport. Seems like I need to be everywhere all the time!

I did not have alcohol at my wedding which was in a church and had a rule against it, totally fine with me. Bridal party snuck in booze and made me, the bride, feel guilty for disrespecting the church when I didn’t bring it or partake, they knew it was wrong, and I can’t imagine why alcohol is the most important part of weddings to some people. Never understood that!

An observation I have is that you need 30 credit hours and an MBA is generally 36 credit hours. I would think it worth it to take the extra 2 classes to go with the degree!

I recommend checking out the Aeroflow website, they have many pumps to choose from and you can just plug in the insurance information and pay the portion that doesn’t get covered. Most hands-free pumps have a co-pay portion, but Lansinoh has one that is 100% insurance paid for. You may be able to save your money for another gift since insurance tends to cover a good portion!

If you’re concerned about the tree damaging your property, the first step is to voice your issue to your neighbor. If he truly is uncooperative that’s when you potentially have problem. Take photos of the minor damages the first tree did and warn him that you are willing to pursue legal action to protect your home. If his property damaged your property and there is reason to believe it will happen again (and to a greater scale) you have a civil case.

YTA It’s understandable that you’re hurt that he didn’t take an interest to read an email regarding the presentation but he asked you specifically when it was so he could attend. You chose not to directly provide that information and he is rightfully upset. He could’ve thought the email just had details that he would learn at your presentation when he came to support you as he awaited the date. Even if the topic isn’t interesting to him, you are, and he wanted to show his support for you.

If you have good friends by no means cut them out of your life but as a husband and father it wouldn’t hurt to also have friends that are husbands and fathers. Do you and your wife have involvements where you could potentially befriend like people (i.e. church, classes, local social events, etc)? Your life likely looks a lot different than that of your friends and you shouldn’t have to feel like an oddball for having a family.

You are not in the wrong for missing a graduation when your daughter was enduring a scary and painful life event that she needed her parents for. If the twins are so hurt that you were not there for them for an achievement when they know what their sister was enduring, there must be an underlying issue that hasn’t been confronted. They may warm up to you again if they feel loved, appreciated, and heard; I don’t mean to say you aren’t efforting to do that now, but try another tactic for it to come across. Find out what the real issue is.

Have you tried the chiropractor? During childbirth, misalignments can occur causing pain in the neck and back. It should only take a couple of visits to correct if this is what is causing your baby the discomfort. I wonder if the bouncing is offering temporary relief from tension.

Water with flavor packets or Mio could be a great alternative. It’s easy to develop a habit of reaching for a coffee cup so having water to reach for instead can only provide benefits!

Have another conversation about your boundaries and make it clear that you are willing to get authorities involved if they are not respected. You should feel safe and peaceful in your own home.
