Mothers' Day vent - already

lutzcowgirlie

So, my husband has managed to get out of buying me gifts of any kind for the last two years. Money is tight, we wanted to do for the kids, so I just said, "You don't need to do for me." He took me up on it and that was fine.

 This year I told him that I would be cool with a gift for Mother's Day. He asked what I wanted and I figured I'd just make it simple and send him an email with links to things I wanted. Last week he finally decided to do something about it, and all the stuff I wanted was gone (It was stuff from Etsy). So, he says, "It's fine. I wanted to get you something else anyways."

 Now, he is one of those guys that buys gifts that are supposed to be for me, but are really for him. Like Guitar Hero (my last "gift" - which I like, but have no time to play, unlike him). If he gets me something lame, I might just kick his ass.

 Then today, he calls and asks if we have any plans this weekend. I say no, secretly feeling a little excited he might be planning something. Oh, he's planning something alright. He wants to go with his friends to a concert all Saturday afternoon. Nice. Thanks.

He better come up with something damn good for me on Sunday morning, or I'm just walking out of the house without a word, leaving my cell at home, and doing what I want to do all.damn.day.

aw... sorry.  hope he does get you something good.  I'm always ok as long as he remembers to get me a card.  for some reason I'm a sucker for a good card not that I don't want a gift too... haha.

My mother decided to have her 3yo adopted daughter baptized on Mother's day.  She had 3 freakin years to baptize her and she decides to finally do it on my 1st MD???  I don't think so.

I whined to DH and he called my Dad who put the smack down on my Mom.  She's annoyed but she'll get over it.  I mean seriously every year we go out for a big brunch to celebrate MD...and this year the focus has to be on her kid?

I know it sounds selfish but my parents adopting 4 kids (ages 3-11) when they are at the age where they s/b enjoying spending time with their grandkids is selfish too.

Sorry to make this a vent.  I hope your DH gets you something you really want or at least takes the hint of what you suggested and goes along that route.

Aww, I hope YH steps up and makes it a special MD for you!
If not, I like the idea of just walking out and doing whatever you feel like!

I have a feeling i'm getting a Wii Fit.  Never mind that he promised me one months ago when I agreed to let him get the Wii to begin with.
