[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, its a bad sign that DH did jack shit today... right?

Like, no card, no flowers.  I suggested a fun brunch place this morning  which he was willing to do, but when DC started fussing in the car on the way he suggested we just go to the next closest breakfast place instead. :-([/quote]

Are we living the same life? Instead of this amazing brunch place that's also surprisingly kid friendly, DH just crumpled in the face of typical threenager behavior and took us to the McDonald's drive through. And we ate in the parking lot.[/quote]

Do you not have a voice or a backbone?  You can't just say to your husband "hey, it's Mother's Day, so I really want to go someplace nice, so let's just make it work"?  Because if you can't, then it's really your own fault.[/quote]

eh, it sort of ruins the whole "treating Mom to a nice meal out" if you have to stand your ground and demand that they take you somewhere.[/quote]

My mother makes hard to get reservations three months out for Mother Day's. My dad is still 'treating her' to the meal. Put some effort into it. [/quote]

I don't have to pitch a hissy fit to get taken out for Mother's Day.  It's just what is done at our house.  And believe me, I am not exactly high maintenance.[/quote]

Same here. Women need to clearly communicate their expectations.  My DH always said he appreciated that I never give him the silent treatment or make him guess what I’m feeling.  He planned a brunch, got reservations a month ago knowing it would fill up and got me a spa day gift card.  He also took kid out for most of the day.   I have pretty standard tastes etc but I like and expect to do something and plan it on mother’s day. He is happy and relieved to k ow this in advance. Ladies, stop expecting your husbands to read DCUM to know how you feel.[/quote]
