Vent

So, I thought my DH had just forgotten about Mother's Day when he scheduled several house showings with some clients. Turns out he thought "I wouldn't mind." So I am sitting at home with a baby who doesn't feel well, while he if off galavanting around doing showings about an hour away, and will be gone for probably another five or six hours (he's already been gone for two hours). The only saving grace will be that they decide to write an offer on a house - which is unlikely because this is the first time this couple has gone out looking for houses. 

It's not like I expected much, I don't even want a mother's day gift. I just wanted some time that I could weed the freaking garden without chasing a baby around.

Seriously, I didn't think I would be upset about a "holiday" like mother's day, but geeze - I am not asking for much.

  • Oh that would annoy me!  I'm sorry your Mother's day isn't going well.  My first one was like that, DH (well MIL really) screwed it up majorly and it's gotten to where I dread it every year because I know it's going to be drama.  This year is going well so far, we're drinking margaritas, my parents are visiting, my dad made us breakfast and now the men-folk are boiling crawfish! 

    I hope yours improves!

  • I think it's less about the "holiday" aspect of it and just wanting to know that all that you do is appreciated.  Even for just a few hours on one day out of the year.  I'm sorry your H was so insensitive. =( I'd be highly upset too.  It wouldn't so much bother me that he was working (says the mom who's H is working today) but that he thought you "wouldn't mind."  On the other hand, it is the nature of his business.  It still would have been nice for him to talk to you about it first though; I'm guessing you'd have said yes since you're a rational person. I hope he comes home, realizes what an asss he's being and takes you out for some fro-yo. Or something equally yummy.

  • I would be irritated, too.  Hopefully, your evening will be better!
