If Your Mothers Day was Disappointing.... get in here.

KMRR86 · May 2014

Introducing the J13 Post Mothers Day Bus. This bus has several features and amenities.

- Dispenses soft yoga pants that make your butt look stellar upon embarkation

- Dispenses wine, beer or cocktail of your choice in a self refilling glass upon embarkation (or coffee if you choose to board early in the AM)

- Stocked with fine chocolates, pastries, cakes and donuts that also include a varied selection of gluten, dairy and soy free options that taste exactly like the gluten, dairy and soy versions!

- This bus will drive you around all day with a good book, music of your choice or glorious silence while you sit in a soft squishy chair and receive a manicure, pedicure, massage... or you can be left alone to revel in the peace and serenity of the bus.

- Dispenses NUT PUNCHES as well to those deserving spouses who don't realize how important mothers day is. Nut punches also come with a stern "what did we learn?" and a brief lecture on the importance of MD as well as how to make it better.

- Upon disembarking the bus you will arrive home to a spotless house, lo's who sleep through the night and a remorseful spouse who will probably have an ice pack on his junk.

Who needs the bus??? It's headed your way!!!

I like some of the amenities... DH didn't give me anything but I also didn't give him anything for Father's day (for Italian it was in March) so I guess we are even lol

I'd take the yoga pants, the manicure, pedicure, donuts, WINE and the STTN baby please!!!

I decided that nothing was really gonna happen unless I did it myself. So I took Nikita to see a movie and out for lunch. She probably needed the mommy time more than I did.

While we were gone Jadzia peed all over DH. I think she passed my sentiments along to him nicely

I will take the bus. None of the sweets since my stomach is still reeling from food poisoning yesterday. And I pooped my yoga pants. Fairly disturbing. And I definitely need the clean house since we had a baby shower on Saturday for SIL and the house is a disaster. MIL hosted and came over yesterday to pick up some food but no cleaning was done. Aaagghh.

ETA: DH wanted me to the hank him for watching the kid all day yesterday.

I got a card and dinner out. I wanted something new and shiny

I'm a brat, I know. But...but...still, I wanted something new and shiny.

The margarita I had at dinner made me break out into a rash all over my face, chest, torso and arms. It was strange and made dinner kind of sucky.

@somerandomchick HUGS to you!

valstulas · May 2014

@somerandomchick‌ You are an amazing mom and Mr. SRC and Ros are so lucky to have you. Big hugs! >:D<

Don't take that shit from him.

chiboo9 · May 2014

Mine was very disappointing but only because we spent Mother's Day morning running around Urgent Care, Walmart, and Walgreens because LO has a double ear infection. She was an absolute wreck Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Big hugs to all the disappointed mamas. You're all wonderful in my book. >:D<

sparkymcgeee · May 2014

Yeah I'm boarding the bus. No card. No gift. No handmade anything from the kids. No acknowledgment from him other than 'I wish I didn't have to work on mothers day'. I wasn't subtle this year. I told him exactly what I wanted and nope. He said he didn't want to pull any money from savings. So he didn't want to spend too much so he didn't spend anything at all. Makes perfect sense.
This makes two years in a row and I didn't get anything for valrntines dat. Our anniversary is Thursday so he better freaking redeem himself.

PrimRoseMama · May 2014

Huge hugs to all in this thread. You are all wonderful mothers

Mommy1stTimer · May 2014

Thank you for this. MUCH needed. Even a card would've been nice...I know, too much apparently. ::sigh::

grapeskittles4lyfe · May 2014

Got something May 1. But MD?

Nope. Went for a walk to the arboretum and took pics of LO. Three (!) moms we crossed paths with wished me a happy MD; BF had the grace to look increasingly discomfited with each cheerful "Happy Mother's Day!".

Can I book the bus for a short nut paddling instead of the full-out punch?

Married071709 · May 2014

Oh my. I'm running and tripping over my own feet to get on this bus. It sounds like heaven. . .

The highlight of my Mother's Day was the cupcakes I made myself. I'm bringing them to work today cause I probably shouldn't eat 30 cupcakes myself. I'm just bitter. DH never even said happy Mother's Day. Yeah, my FIL texted me to wish me a happy Mother's Day. Even he gives more of a shit. I always told myself I don't care that much about holidays, so it's fine if DH doesn't... I was so sure we chose to barely acknowledge them mutually. I thought if I told him that no we're celebrating this one he would make an effort to pretend he gives a shit. But I guess it turns out that he just doesn't care. All I wanted was a thank you. Thanks for spending 5 hours pushing a baby out of your vagina. Thanks for carrying her for 9 months letting her split your ab muscles open and kick you in the tear. Thanks for waking up with her every night. Thanks for hooking up to a machine multiple times a day at work to feed our baby. I thank him for cleaning the kitchen every time and he's the primary housework person. Some thanks every once in awhile would be nice.
You and I really need to drink together.

Me too please.

Stacey099 · May 2014

I'm with you ladies. Even a stupid card would have been nice. I think I'm going to go over the top for FD so he'll feel like an even bigger ass

kaylakim · May 2014

Ugh yep I'll take a trip on this bus! DH had never in the six years that I've been a mother done anything very romantic or sweet for me. He got me a card from the kids and let me take a nap yesterday but that's it. No thanks or hugs our anything really sweet. I still made dinner and did baths and every normal thing I do on a normal day. Just frustrating and I'm tired of sounding ungrateful and unappreciated.

kaylakim · May 2014

@meimsx our anniversary is on Thursday too. 10 years so kinda a big deal. I was looking forward to it but based on my disappointment with recent events (mother's day, v day, birthday) I'm dreading it. We'll see.

arlingirl · May 2014

DH really tried for him...which is a first. He totally sucks at it, though. I'm trying hard to teach him since he grew up without a mom and they put no emphasis on celebrating birthdays or anything. He's sweet, but not romantic or thoughtful.

I told him to get cards for the grandmas. He comes back without the envelopes. Wtf?

sigh. I have a steep hill ahead of me ladies...baby steps.

I hope he does better Kayla. It's just hurtful to not feel appreciated.

Hugs, ladies. You are all fabulous moms.

I think that DH knew that I was pissed last night, before I even had a chance to say it directly. He posted something very nice on Facebook, at 8:30 pm - while in the bathroom. *sigh*

blairwitch · May 2014

DH calls is a commercial holiday created by hallmark...same for Valentines and Fathers Day. But the one year I didnt get him something from the dogs...yes, the dogs, before we had kids...he got pouty. Usually he gets me things, but he thinks he has to spend a lot on them when he does. I have told him since the first year...him taking DD to even pick out a card and a flower would mean so much more than him shopping online for something DD would have no input on.

heyhaylee · May 2014

I'll take it!!! All I wanted was an acknowledgement. Like you @somerandomchick‌, just a happy Mother's Day and a thanks would have been great...
Send that bus my way!!!

All if this. Hugs, I sympathize. Pretty sucky.

PS I love this bus. We'll need another one for valentines day!

kmvw · May 2014

I am so sorry for all of you disappointed moms. DH was very thoughtful and sweet which really surprised me, although the bus sounds wonderful!

emandia · May 2014

Yeah mine was pretty shitty. We got back from our vacation yesterday morning, so it was a crazy day. But I didn't even get a "Happy Mother's Day". Whatever. We normally don't do gifts, but it's nice to at least acknowledge it.

JTA2426 · May 2014

Mine wasn't fantastic. Highlight of thae day was when I pitched a huge fit because after leaving me alone with the twins all day, H also refused to take us (me) to go get the FREE mothers day froyo from the ice cream place down the street. He pouted and whined and finally I just went to get it myself. After the boys went to sleep he must have felt guilty because he said "you're a great mom. Happy Mother's Day." Btw, I did all the work for getting both of our moms and his granny's Mother's Day gifts.
