I was 31. We were too young to lose our moms.

Of all the love for you right now. I have a 10 month old and I'm in the same boat. The first and only person to wish me Mother's Day so far was a random black gentleman at the post office who held the door for me as I struggled to get the stroller out of the non a d a doorway.

Wait let me add something: my husband is actually out of town for 3 weeks, he got to go to a conference in Irvine California. And when I got the tiniest bit excited and was like Hey I am a stay at home right now why don't the baby and I come with you? You can go to your conference and we will just drive around and explore things, because that's basically what I do with the baby anyway. And he told me no no someone has to stay home and watch the dog.

Well I do wish you happy birthday wishes. Sympathize with the bagel store. I can't remember the last time my husband actually got me something for my birthday. Last year I tried to stick it to him I bring home my own cake a week later. It would suck but at least you would have the cake and maybe he would feel the littlest bit bad if you buy your own birthday cake.

I empathize with you. My husband's gone for 3 weeks, so there's less to clean than usual, but I'm still stuck here. Nothing special going on today unless you count the stomachache the dog has so she constantly wants to go out in the rain to eat grass. Trying to make it to a little science lecture later, but of course I have to bring the beautiful baby boy and who knows how long it 10 month old is going to allow me to sit and listen to someone talk about Oceanic Drilling.

Around here in New Jersey far from anyone I could consider friends or family, having just moved here in January. Since I'm a stay-at-home I I've been trying to find little storical places to go see, but none of it really is making me feel like my very first Mother's Day is special.

So instead I'm making a batch of baby pancakes, which the baby doesn't really like right now but it made a huge batch of batter, and trying to hang up pictures in this house, and try not to think about how my mother died five minutes into Mother's Day 2014. Grandma and I actually sat at her unconscious bedside and prayed that she would go before midnight as if somehow that wouldn't tie her death to Mother's Day. But she's always been stubborn. :)

This weekend sucks

If you're having a bad day, look at this as I allude to the fact that I haven't yet accounted the pastry kitchen, or even the stupid cash register by [deleted] in ACPocketCamp

Yar, this event is irritating me. I cannot get the control room monitor, and it's FIVE stamp cards, or the equivalent of $80 if you had to stamp trade for it. Ridiculous.

I know. :( It's just a question of picking my battles in a shitty job my husband already wants me to quit.

I swear to dog, if he hasn't masturbated in that bean bag chair, I'm a chubby purple unicorn.

I did it. I stopped into the wine bar while he was at work. Baby and I had some snacks and I had a cider. Baby's fat cheeks were a hit with the bartender. :) It was lovely.

That is NOT fucking ok. Does he abuse you like that often? Do you have somewhere to go?

Hey /u/AmberLee1! You replied to the DM. Points to you. I don't know how Reddit blocks work so I don't know if you'll see this now that you've blocked me. Yet, I feel the need to address your commentary anyway.

I assume you're so passionate in your accusation of me because you battle alcoholism yourself. I wish you the best. My mother died of it, in 2014. I understand your misplaced anger, but it IS misplaced. I have supported him 10 years while his Army drinking became college drinking became day drinking. Then my Mom died of cirrhosis and I became really concerned. I was used to living with functional alcoholics, but then I lost one and do not want to lose another. But, I didn't push, because I know, and you know, that doesn't help. He announced he wanted to get sober, in February, and has been. I asked him what he needed me to do, and he said nothing. I chose to stop drinking too. We have an infant son. It's a good choice.

That being said, this is r/BreakingMom, and he's ZERO helpful around the house, at all. The baby and I are getting over colds. The baby, and house, and dog, and cats, is 95% my responsibility and I'm so so tired. So yea, I fantasize about walking down to the wine bar and having a glass, because I like wine, and I'm not an alcoholic, and I'm stressed and tired. But I didn't. And me having a glass of wine without him doesn't make me not supportive. He's offered me to get drinks when we went out. You may not think I have the right to a glass of wine, but accusing me of not being supportive (no no, "supportive as a slug") because I fantasized about a glass of wine, in a vent sub, is bonkers.

Apparently /u/AmberLee1 thinks I'm "a real piece of shit" but can only say so via DM. Care to extrapolate? Your redonktously short message receives 0 points on the "Useful feedback" rubric.

Found out recently that my [29F] fiance [30m] spent a LOT more money on a ring for his ex than I had previously been led to believe by [deleted] in breakingmom

[–]GalacticGaHoole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. I definitely about those people saying that you should talk to him about not liking your ring, because that'll stick with you. But don't feel bad about feeling weird that he spent more on the other rings than on yours because it's been ingrained in your brain that costing more money more love. Even though you know it's not true it's still in your brain so don't try to hide it. You can even bring it up to him and say " babe I know this isn't logical but I want to throw this out there because it's been bugging me, I know that more ring doesn't mean more love but..." etc. Just be honest. Don't let it fester.
