This morning, my kids woke up and wished me a Happy Mother's Day and said they loved me. We are relaxing and walking to get donuts for brunch. Later, we will get dressed up and take nice pics of the 3 of us. Go to the park. Cook homemade pizza. No man necessary.

Yup, so much happier since I got rid of DH.

Girl I would straight walk out and go find a coffee and bagel.

LOL I'm the PP whose husband forgot. I did this. Didn't make me feel better but got me out of the house for a bit.

Lol. That is my DHs excuse. How many others get...it's a made up holiday.

What holidays and milestones does he agree are not "made up"

Are you all honestly this dense? You can’t see that Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Valentines Day, and Secretary’s Day are made up holidays, in a way that Christmas, NYE, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day are not? They actually commemorate a real thing.

Mine is being really cool so far. He was a total jerk last weekend and he's making up for it. So... I'm just going to try to appreciate the day.

Omg, what I wouldn’t give for a bagel right now. I can’t have one because I’m pregnant with gestational diabetes right now....

Thanks for the laugh. I enjoyed picturing this scene.

It IS a made up holiday, but we live in a society, literally all our holidays are "made up" in some form. Some are just older and celebrated differently. Being left out when everyone around you is celebrating is hurtful because again, we live in a society. Gonna need a stronger argument than that for why you can't buy or make a damn card for your wife, or train your kids well if they are old enough.

So true. I mean just some breakfast and some childcare is really all that is required. You can do it DH...it's not really that difficult unless you have to do it everyday for 18 years.

We’ve been arguing for the last three days. Now he’s out with the kids I guess pulling together gifts and breakfast. At this point, I don’t care about gifts. I just want a husband who takes accountability for his wrongdoings and partners with me so we both can be better for ourselves and each other. He’s never wrong, he’s never accountable, he’s never sorry. I really believe he’s narcissistic. Every time I bring an issue to him, he changes the conversation to be about something that I did, tells me everything I have to say is a lie, not true, made up, or “I’m reaching”.

What sucks even more is this is his first Mother’s Day without his mom, and I can’t even bring myself to be supportive. I’m just emotionally drained and ready for tomorrow.
