Happy Belated Mother’s Day. It sounds like a lovely day. I do the same thing as you. I won’t tell him what I really want. And when he offers I act all like “No, no, it’s OK I’ll be fine without a nap for ANOTHER Sunday”…or similar things. Glad you had a fun day.

I'm right with you on this post. Sometimes I'm scared by how badly I just want to be by myself. For Mother's Day, I spent 7 hours in the car with my husband and toddler to celebrate my hubby's grandparents' wedding anniversary. Since they've made it 70 years together, I opted to be a good sport about it all! Plus, mothers got to go through the buffet line first! mep's last blog post..Fancy Dancer, Fancy Fairfield

I bow down to thee St. Tate. Well done. I'm so glad your asshole self took over the logical self's thought process and enjoyed a few hours of much needed alone time. Tonya's last blog post..MOTHER'S DAY GIFT

I spent part of my Mother's Day apart from my kid, too! And yeah, part of me felt guiltly for that on MOTHER's day of all days, but I needed that time with my own mom, too! The fact that he folded laundry is what get to me. Wow. St. Tate indeed! Christina's last blog post..Happy Mother's Day!

I'm starting to see a conspiracy here. Has it occurred to anyone that Mother's Day was invented so that men would only have to act thusly one day a year? Say one day in Sept. you really need some time to yourself, and beg him to please take the kids somewhere. Won't he say, "Didn't I just do that like four months ago?"

Yeah! I'm glad that he finally "got it". It sounds like you had a wonderful day. I promise you that as they get older, it gets easier, and that you will one day want to spend the entire day with them celebrating. Mom24's last blog post..Meal Plan Monday

I, personally, had a SHITerrific Mother's Day. Not because I expected anyone to read my mind, but rather because I didn't want to hear about how much of a bitch I am for not wanting to attend the family events that had been scheduled. We drove an hour to be with my in laws...MIL and 3 SILs and their families. Then drove another hour +10 min beyond our house to see my mom and sister. I started to get comfy at my sisters and began watching 27 Dresses. It was pure bliss until my kids turned into demons and I had to leave 1/2 way through. Needless to say, I was exhausted and angry by the time I got home. I should write a How NOT to spend your Mother's Day post...but that would probably hurt my SIL's feelings. *sigh* MommyCosm's last blog post..Haiku Friday: You're Fired!!
