Parenting after a Loss
Mothers Day- a bust (vent)
I dont know what is going on with my DH. He is normally extremely sweet and thoughtful but come Mothers Day (my first one!) it all went out the window. To be honest, my expectations weren't very high. I told him not to worry about buying me anything after he told me on Thursday (we were on vacation) that he didnt get anything and my present would be a few days late. I told him not to worry about it, to just be helpful and sweet for "my day". I asked if he would take care of kate for the night and do her morning feeding. She woke up once and I had to wake him up to go put her paci back in. When she woke up for her morning feeding he went in her room and I had to get up and make the bottle. He did make breakfast which was nice but it was gross. The rest of the day was all about him as I went around the house picking things up and made my own lunch.
I dont want this to come off as me being snoody, I just need to vent. I had always imagined my first mothers day being so special and relaxing and the only special thing about it was my sweet girl who snuggled with me all day. We are definitely having a talk tonight! Grr!

Re: Mothers Day- a bust (vent)
This. I'm sorry your special day wasn't as good as it should of been.
You aren't alone. I don't know why I get my hopes up so much. DH is an awesome husband and father and normally very thoughtful but holidays/birthdays/etc are just not his strong suit. He usually acknowledges them late or not at all. I think it's just a fundamental difference in the way men and women think; or maybe it was just a bigger deal in my family growing up than it was in his. We always did holidays and birthdays BIG and his family, they just give each other cash or something and they usually do it late. Like, a week late. Not really the point but whatever.
WHEW! Sorry instead of supporting you I used this space to vent
Oh well, you are not alone! there! that's my point

This!! Nothing is a big deal in DH's family. They aren't big into celebrating like my family is. We do things BIG..have fun and celebrate...I know a lot of it has to do with the way he was raised.
