[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one should have to tell their husbands what to do. They need to be stepping it up (my husband included). Many are just selfish and lazy. Just a few months ago my husband planned nothing at all for my bday and asked me to stop home on the way fro work to pick up a cake. Needless to say that went over like a lead balloon.

I’m not a Mother’s Day whiner, but telling them how the day will go defeats the purpose. [/quote]

While you were bitter on your birthday, I was enjoying exactly what I wanted: a quiet morning, an afternoon at the spa, Chinese for dinner and a yellow cake with chocolate frosting that he made with the kids (from a box but with homemade icing) for dessert. The kids had a fun day baking while I was at the spa. It was perfect.

DH would have acknowledged my birthday in a less specific fashion, but really appreciated knowing what I wanted. Funny how communication works that way! He didn’t need specifics to remember my birthday or to make a gesture, but with my input he felt confident, I got what I wanted, win-win.

But hey, I’ll enjoy my delicious meal and you can eat that lead balloon. At least you didn’t have to “tell him what to do,” eh? :)[/quote]
