Re: Mother's Day
MIL- What are you doing Sunday?
DH- Turkey hunting in the am, yard work for a couple hours then spending time with the girls.
MIL- It's Mother's Day, don't you remember?
DH- Yeah, it is also Brandi's Mother's Day too?!... But I can smoke a brisket and you guys can come over if you'd like.
MIL- no response.
Then a few hours later
MIL- So let me know your thoughts on if you want to do something for Mother's Day..
DH offered to smoke food and have you over. Get over yourself. He never once said no I do t want to do anything.
PS- on Father's Day she won't even mention to do something for my FIL. Their relationship is basically nonexistent. They just live in the same house. My FIL is awesome though, he deserves better. Too bad one of them won't just go file for a divorce already.
Wow is sorry that turned into a rant.
Maybe smoking a brisket and having my IL's over. This is how the conversation with my MIL and DH went.

We are going to see MIL on Sat. I got her a framed picture of both girls, either for her desk at work or home. She's not a huge fan of the other gifts we've bought her even though she swears she wants that particular thing. It's probably mean but at least she'll use the photo and I won't see it in the trash or on the next garage sale.
DH means well, but he forgets or gets too busy with his business to put too much effort. In his defense he has asked a couple of times what i would like for Mothers Day, and i just dont know. (I saw some of the bills for L&D, and we are going to have to pay some out of pocket, so I dont want anything too expensive. ) I get screwed because he owns his own construction/handy man business. Mothers Day falls right when he is ramping up so he has already put in 50 hrs this week. He also has a new employee who started this week, and way too many "potential" customers calling that there are just not enough hours in the day. My birthday also falls as the season is ending and he is wrapping things up and closing out, so while he typically forgets he feels really bad and makes it up a few days or a week later. Of course don't bother him on his b-day or Father's Day....he's out celebrating.
