Follow-up to My DH Screwing up my B-day

marcuej · January 2011

I posted the other night that my DH didn't get me a card of gift on my b-day. He set himself up for failure cause he said he had something special for me and then he never got around to getting it. On my b-day he said he was going to get it the following day. Yeah...didn't happen!

We had a huge talk and he finally ended up getting how much he hurt my feelings and that it wasn't about the card or gift but that I felt like I wasn't a priority and that it didn't matter.

Yesterday when we got to the car to leave work there was a gift on my seat. He had snuck away during work and gotten me a card and a gift. He took the card to daycare along with an ink pad and took imprints of the girls hands on the card. He then wrote a note from the girls saying that daddy is a doodie head for messing up my birthday but that they all love me and to take it easy on him and that it won't happen again.

Apparently the girls were both sleeping when he got to daycare. He was able to get both of their hands without waking either up. He had to label whose handprint was whose because Hadley's hands aren't much smaller than her big sisters.

I'm glad he tried to make up for it! Sounds like a sweet card.

AWW!!!!!!! I love what he did - sounds like he made up for it pretty well. I'm glad he recognized why it was important to you.

Exactly! Notice how I didn't even mention the gift? I could care less about that. He could have gotten away with just the card and the effort he put into that. It's adorable!

Wowser - it is hard to make up for that kind of hurt. And he really did it. That is fantastic!!

But you know that it was just different personalities, and not a lack of love. Float on air girl - that was really great!!!

Yeah, no question the guy loves me. He just isn't always great at expressing it!
