AITA

Am I the asshole for being upset on Mother’s Day?? Let me preface by saying he got me the Shark Flex style thing on Friday when we did our Costco trip for Mother’s Day and I am very grateful for it but.. Fast forward to this morning I thought I would be able to sleep in while he got up and gave our son a bottle, I didn’t get to ofc. I woke up at 7am to him scrolling his phone, while I could hear our son thru the monitor. I ended up feeding our son a bottle and then making him breakfast an hour later and lunch as well when the time came. He knows I’m upset and asked me why so I kind of lost it on him and basically said ‘it’s the one day a year that I shouldn’t have to care for everybody like I do the other 364 days’. All day it’s been ‘do you want to do this or that, etc’ and it’s annoying the living hell out of me. Being that it’s my first Mother’s Day I expected it to be special and it’s just been a normal Sunday… AITA for being upset about this?? am I overreacting? 🫠

Show your support

I might be biased but you're not overreacting imo. Your first mother's day should be special! At least different than every other day. I get up at 6am with my LO and for the first time in a while my fiance went to bed early so I was like wow he's probably going to get up and take her from me so I could sleep in and maybe he'll make coffee and breakfast but nope. He slept 11hrs and woke at 1030. Suffice it to say, I was mad.

I don’t know about your reaction but same thing happened over here. He saw I was upset and went and got me flowers. But like… too late my guy. 😪

@Alana mine just came home with flowers and asked for my help to assemble them 🤦‍♀️

Girl same I want to just have family time without having to make sure LO takes his nap on time or gets lunch on time, or get a break from direct breastfeeding for a couple hours. Like sure I appreciate you doing the dishes but I would rather you sit and watch our child so I can watch a movie uninterrupted. Idk me not wanting to spend time fully catering to my child when he’s also a parent means I don’t want him around or something haha 🤷‍♀️

Me and My husband say you’re not the a**hole

Their brains just don’t work the same way as ours and my life has become far less stressful since I have just accepted that. Now anything he does do or when he uses his initiative it’s like a lovely treat 🤷‍♀️😂
