    My husband spent almost an hour preparing breakfast for me yesterday. I went downstairs and he had...bacon and tater tots (I'm not kidding) and nothing else. He was making breakfast burritos and I have a very bad egg allergy. He said he forgot about my allergy so that's all he had for me. I said, "You could have gotten me coffee." He said he didn't think

    about that. Didn't run out and get any or make any. Just stated that he didn't think of it. Later, he left with the kids so I could do laundry and clean the house. He asked if I wanted salmon for dinner and I told him no because I had gotten some to cook recently and it was rotten. I just can't eat it yet. I told him I

    wanted In & Out. It's my favorite and I get it like once a year. I always want it for Mother's Day. He refuses every single year. Of course, he made salmon. I didn't eat it. Honestly, I was upset about the breakfast, 3 hours of cleaning and now dinner I specifically asked him not to make.

    Leading up to this, he had been gone for work all week and was at a work event until late on Saturday. The weekend before I packed him for his trip and spent Saturday shopping for him, he left early Sunday and then I spent Sunday entertaining his parents.

    nothing. Maybe I am overreacting because I'm exhausted with my 4 kids, I'm a teacher, May is ridiculously busy, sports, everything. This is year 15 of being disappointed on Mother's Day and I hate how selfish I feel but I am so deeply hurt this year.

    To top it all off, I bought him a Blackstone griddle for Father's Day and it arrived on Mother's Day. It just really felt so obvious the effort he puts in for me when that thing arrived early and he was out trying to find something to buy me with my kids at 3pm.

    Looming Disaster • 2d ago He forgot your ALLERGY? Nonsense, he just didn't want to bother with making you something you could eat on Mothers Day.

    Whateverandever01 2d ago This isn't about Mother's day.. it's just about a pattern of behaviour and not stepping up to support you in the ways you need to be supported. Just forget the mother's day thing entirely. If he were stepping up the rest of the year you wouldn't

    really care so much about one day. Sit down and talk with him and don't even mention Mother's day because it's not really about that anyway.

    not_brittsuzanne • 1d ago He took the kids out so you could do laundry and clean? He took... them out... so you could do laundry and clean... Throw the whole man away.

    Snackinpenguin • 2d ago NTA. 15+ years together and he "forgot" that you have an allergy? That information becomes ingrained over a marriage - especially a severe one.

    Honestly, put the same amount of effort into his Father's Day as he did for you. And for future Mother's Day.. what's to stop you from booking a hotel room by yourself where you can enjoy all the In and Out that you want, blissful and child free?

    aholereader • 2d ago IMMEDIATELY RETURN THAT BLACKSTONE GRIDDLE!!! He should get NOTHING for Father's Day. Treat him like he's treated you for 15 years. Do what you want on June 16th, and F him!

    chaos_coordinator... • 2d ago NTA- you got yourself a blackstone for Mother's Day, and he's not allowed to use it. The universe sent you a sign, don't waste it.

    Also, when Father's Day rolls around be sure to leave. Big mess for him to clean

    My husband is hard-pressed to forget things I just don't like the idea that your - HUSBAND forgot the mother of his children has an allergy and then made that food for Mother's Day really makes me think this is
