[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, you complain a lot.[/quote]

OP here -

I just wanted to spend time with my family and feel appreciated.[/quote]

I’m one of the people that thinks the “must deep clean every Saturday” thing is nonsense. But I do think there are some totally legitimate concerns to discuss with her husband.

First, why is it ok for him to go fishing three saturdays in a row? Is he being a jerk? Is OP being a martyr? Does OP actually get plenty of time for herself?

Second, are OP’s cleaning standards ok with husband? Does he think she is over the top on this? Is husband actually a horrific slob which leads to this need to clean?

[b]Third, don’t freaking ask what I want for a holiday and then go do something else!!’ [/b]Honestly, that is so jerky. But again, I cannot tell if OP is a martyr that doesn’t say “sorry, that doesn’t work for us this weekend.”

Fourth, is “grandma’s last X” really going to be the standard that determines all holiday plans? That would not be ok with me at all. I definitely think you prioritize time with people that you love that are nearing end of life, but I’m not sacrificing everything for this.

There is a ton here for discussion between OP and husband.[/quote]

He didn’t. “The holiday” is SUNDAY.[/quote]
