mother's day do-over

DH and SS1/SS2 made me dinner last night.  Dogs were walked, dishes were done.  All I had to do was sit down. 

And DH told the boys during dinner that he made a huge mistake on Sunday by not recognizing me.  He told the boys that he hopes that they are lucky enough to have someone like me and that he felt awful about he didn't show his appreciation.  DH rarely shows his emotions and certainly doesn't talk about them.

It was a really nice moment.

    That sounds sweet.  I am glad you got the recognition you wanted.

    I personally am getting fed up with mothers day... the expectations are so high and people just end up getting their feelings hurt  (not talking about you, but just an experience that I had with my mother in law this weekend).  I think I might just skip it next year entirely!  I had a pretty good one, but being 9 mths pregnant I am tired and cranky all the time no matter what.  :/

    Thats great! I could literally hear the sadness through your message about mothers day. So he turned that around pretty fast!

    That is so nice he did that, and a great way to show an example for the kids too.

    Yay! I bet that made things a lot better.

    I agree with Sigir though, mothers day in general is crap. I'm starting to think that mothers day isn't actually for moms, but to try to make everyone actually think for just a second how much they should appreciate them.
