Bless her little socks - what an incredibly sweet thing to doBless her, she completely took charge (except when the bill came and they had charged for four adults instead of two adults, two children. I had to step in there otherwise she would have just paid it.). She even let me have 1/2 lager.
It was possibly one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.
I'm stuffed......
Tell her urban thinks she 's ace
Poot
My wife thinks I work too hard
I got a card and a book. Actually my cousin wrote the book. Mr Poot apparently didn't know this.
Actually, I think my expectations were waaaay too high because I got excited and asked whether we could have take-away for once (we have it about 3 times a year). Mr Poot laughed at me. I got my own back by cooking an entirely vegan dinner (there was no choice- I hadn't been to the supermarket as I'd wrongly thought my husband might do it as Pootboy and I were out for most of the day shopping for his birthday present). Anyway, I poured myself the last of the wine (ha!) and now I feel better. Mr Poot clearly felt guilty as he went on a big rant about how I'm not his mother so he doesn't owe me any favours.
And no one liked the vegan dinner.

Mr Poot needs to learn some manners
Only three takeaways a year!!

Mr Poot sounds like a very rude man
I may have been over-reacting because of the wine and the unnecessarily high expectations. I should point out that we have a toddler, so he was obviously present at the choosing of the book and the card, which is all that was required, really. I do sometimes go into "poor hard done by me" mode on these boards, by way of letting off steam. But, yeah, a take away would have been nice.

Don't blame yourself. We all want to feel appreciated sometimes, there's nothing wrong with that. I really don't see your expectations as anything but reasonable.

I do that but still, it sounds like more effort could've been put inI may have been over-reacting because of the wine and the unnecessarily high expectations.

Mind you, I've just cleaned the kitchen and I'm about to iron the uniforms for tomorrow - Amanada Holden's on the telly, can't miss his weekly 'date' with her
Mr Madz just doesn't realise that all the time I was doing it I was fantasising about the toy boy I'm going to run off with

Funny thread
Now I feel guilty that I let my mum cook lunch for us In my defence I had offered to take her out to lunch and she nixed it on the grounds that the restaurants would all be full of people doing the same thing, and I did make pudding and take her a pot plant.

I bet he wishes he had gone for the take away rather than the vegan dinner. Why wouldn't he let you have a take away?
3rd son told all he was going to cook breakfast + all to be round at 8. Well 2nd daughter + 4th son turned up at 8 on the dot....no sign of 3rd son...+ my eldest is a mum herself + it was her daughters birthday but she sent gardening tools + lovely homemade card. They cooked me a lovely vegan breakfast, discussed the film 'Earthlings' and speciesism + that a shark would eat us given the chance + the problems with soya milk + the packaging.We decided goats milk might be a better option. When they left I did sneak back up to bed for a little nap.
3rd son turned up tonight at 8 this eve....late + still no card or anything + I told him to say sorry to other 2 about letting them down + not to make plans if he is going out all night. But he did say that the guys at work told him off + said ...your mum comes first.
I'd given my mum a homemade choccy cake + card on saturday + she had a fab time with my brother. Oh well its only one day of the year.............after all the years you have given to them.
