Mothers day

Am I in the wrong for wanting one day where I don’t have to plan something to do? Or be the one that gets everything organised? We have a 19 month old and 3 month old. I’m a stay at home mum so o do everything all the time, I plan weekends I get the kids ready, I cook the meals etc. but I just hoped that today of all days that I could just sit and enjoy the kids without having to ask my husband to do things… 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh I feel you!!x

Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for the thought of flowers, chocolates and a card (that was written this morning while i was getting our little girl ready) But a morning of 5 mins extra in bed with a hot drink would've been lovely. It's just like any other day now x

You have to communicate with your partner. My husband did nothing for the first Mother’s Day… I told him how heartbroken I was about it. For my second Mother’s Day (today) he asked me in advance what I’d like for it… he did exactly what I said. It’s been lovely. I have had to read him the riot act so many times and we have had terrible arguments, but eventually he has gotten there. I don’t bottle anything up, I tell him how I feel, or what he did or didn’t do (more the later) and how it made me feel. I try hard not to blame him, like err isn’t it obvious, I just talk to him like I would talk to a kid lol… I try to be gentle and calm and let him know. I think there is a generation shift, like he doesn’t know any better as he only knows what he has seen from his parents. It’s like training a dog with him.
