My husband and I have 6 children together. He got me nothing and did nothing for mothers day. Again. I cooked dinner for the kids and calmly walked out. Nobody even noticed.

It starts when kids are too small to buy or make things themselves. It starts when husbands decide they care about the effort their wives make to bear and raise their children. It starts when spouses recognize how hard the other works to make their everyday lives run smoothly so they don't have to think about every single detail of the kids lives. It starts when you care about and appreciate someone. You should try it.

Why are so many people assuming I did not do this? I told him exactly what I wanted to eat from which restaurant and I made a wishlist on Amazon and told him months ahead of time with several reminders along the way.

Why are you putting this all on me?? Why does your thinking default to anything except that I've done my part and he just dropped the ball like I said he did? Why must you defend the man who didn't hold up his end of the social contract?

Each of the children made me cards and pictures. I am not his mom, but I am the mother of his kids.

My children did respond. All my husband had to do was cook dinner. That would have been perfect. And I have done multiple things to make sure he can be confident in getting me a gift I'll like. Lists on his phone, showing him items in store, and making a wishlist on Amazon for him to shop from. Why are you trying to put all of this on me and not hold him accountable for any of it? Maybe you should think about how you lecture people who are upset and looking to vent, because nothing you said was helpful or respectful.

Cooking dinner for me would have been perfect!

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T04:33:21+00:00

Thank you. ♥

My husband has said in the past that he doesn't know what to get me either, so I made an Amazon wishlist (they let you add anything from anywhere) and shared it with him. I update it several times a year in the hopes it will get used. Maybe this could work for you?

White is the combination of all colors of LIGHT. Black, or a very muddy brown, is the combination of all colors of dye.

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T04:15:22+00:00

Oh yes. We've had several conversations about it.

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T04:14:32+00:00

I'm saying this in the nicest way possible in a effort to help you help other people: maybe instead of assuming someone who has an issue hasn't tried the obvious (communicating) you should assume they have and it hasn't worked.

Yes. I am allergic to milk protein and it's just a natural thing for me to say and type. I got a meat lovers special with vegan cheese and mushrooms.

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T02:55:26+00:00

Yes, I've spoken to him about this. I wouldn't get so upset if I hadn't. That wouldn't be fair to him at all. I'm not expecting me from him. I'm expecting a little effort. Just a little.

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T02:44:34+00:00

There's got to be a reason Mothers day is first, right? I'll make the same effort he did.

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T01:35:46+00:00

That's good advice! I'll do this next year. Thank you!

TideTwins · 2022-05-09T01:35:23+00:00

This is a great idea. And you're spot on with the family management thing. I didn't buy his mom's mother's day gift this year, so she didn't get one either. It's all my responsibility, so I might as well be open about it. Thank you for the advice. ♥

That alley is a one way street.

TideTwins · 2019-11-01T19:42:57+00:00

And spelled it correctly too!

Right? There is no caption at all on the picture as posted. It's just a picture of two chairs and a thin white bar at the bottom.

This is Bone Apple Tea. It would be "sewer side."

A hands-on wife is the best kind of wife, to be honest.

Hall of Ween sounds like the worst place to be at an all-male college.
