[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps there's something wrong with me, but I found the pea thing hilarious, and as for the leaf blower, yes he could have been more gracious, but your son buying him a leaf blower is the equivalent of him buying you an iron or other chore related item.[/quote]

The pea thing cracked me up too.  Seriously, your son did not make lunch for the family.  If your husband hated peas enough to stand at the sink so he could spit them, clearly his intense dislike was well known to your family.  Yet your son chose to add peas to the casserole, intentionally making something that everyone but your husband would like.  Think about that.

As far as the leaf blower, I agree that who wants a chore item for a gift unless they specifically ask for it.  And, even then.  I think your husband could have been more gracious.  But, when you knew what the gift was and that your husband wouldn't like it, you could have intervened and taught a lesson about good gift giving.  [/quote]

Yes, PP!

OP, you must have known your husband hates peas. A leaf blower IS a crummy gift to many people. Teach your kids to think of the receiver when giving gifts. It’s a great skill to have in life. Think about it- for Mother’s Day you get a dish made with something you despise and a tool that only makes you think of more work in your life. Not thoughtful. It could have made him feel very sad and angry that his family doesn’t know him better or didn’t give him gifts with him in mind.

One more thing- he must be doing a lot more than this for you to call him “horrible”. Have you read some of the DH posts on here? This man is rude at best in comparison. Choose your words carefully.

No - this was a gift from his SON, not an anniversary or birthday gift from his wife. Truly shitty behavior from an adult. As for the peas, that's behavior from a toddler, not a adult man.
