what I want for mother's daySubmitted by briefcandle on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 1:50pm.
I wish dh would say,"I'm taking the kids for a few hours. You go get a pedicure, then go to a cafe and get a beer or tea and do some writing for a while. I've already taken milk out of the freezer for the baby last night so I can feed him while you're gone. Go." That is all. Is it too much to ask if I just tell him that's what I want? Or should I hope for a surprise something like that? What do you want and do you think you're gonna get it? briefcandle's blog | login or register to post comments | email this page | printer friendly version
a few days off. i booked myself a trip to NYC with my girlfriends for the weekend. would my BD ever have surprised me with such a gift? hell no! i say make it easy for your husband and just lay it out there, exactly like you did here. not too much to ask, at all, and he'll probably be relieved that he doesn't have to go shopping for some dumb gift you don't want anyway, just like mine was i like what you said, i think you deserve this times 100 on mother's day. the point is to do what we want to do on that day, right? i'm headed for trance work - you go and get that beer brief!!! tails, dc a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! by getting me jewelry. I saw on his bank account the amount he spent at a jewelry store the other day and had a pang of 'oh, but I really wanted an ipod'. I've decided not to say anything though and be happy with what I get. I'm doing the bare minimum for my mom this year as she consistently shows me that I'll never please her--so why should I bother? I don't want to become that myself, so I will be thrilled with whatever shows up (and hint stronger and earlier about an ipod next time!) Sometimes men are just like cattle, they need to be led! HAHA its always nice to have someone who knows you well give you exactly what you want....but how often does that really happen?? the best way for him to know exactly what you want is to tell him. i bet your dh would be psyched to not have to freak over what to do for you, and you'll get the vacay day you deserve. plus, the baby gets some special daddy time. everyone wins! the only question remaining will be what color polish you're going to pick! Waiting and hoping he'll come up with it on his own or even get a hint can leave you waiting forever. My husband is great and I love him, but most of the time he hasn't a clue and I think a lot of guys are that way. Just tell him what you want. You aren't asking for a lot and you'll both be happy in the end. I've come to the realization that if I wait around for people to magically know what I want and surprise me with it, I'll be waiting for a loooonnnnggg time. I think if that's exactly what you want for mother's day, tell him. Then no one is disapointed, you get your nice, quiet day and he get's to give you the gift you need.

I don't think I am getting anything, in fact I know I am not getting anything. We're broke & DH is gone for the month.
I really just hope Bugsy isn't going to be cranky all day. I would love to have a nice day with him, maybe go to church or just the playground.
