What I learned on my 1st Mother’s Day

my bf works on another island but i had a great day with my munchkin. LDRs suck i cant wait for this to be over

Happy belated Mother's Day Jane! Don't forget about us for too long! :)

Ambria, sorry you had a tough Mother's Day! Guys can be REALLY clueless, but you sound like a great mother and wife. So don't bottle things up - even when we think they can NEVER get it, if we don't say anything then they really won't! Find a way to sit down with him when you're cool headed and let him know how you feel. Seriously, you owe it to yourself. You sound like a wonderful and dedicated mom and deserves to be treated as such! Your husband's probably just acting out of stress, and not realizing that what he does hurts you. PLEASE let him know!!

what does the ring look like? I would like to give my husband a hint for a diamond and sapphire ring.

You're so lucky!! That is how I envisioned my first Mothers day too. Wanna know how I really spent it? I had to go pick him up at 3 am (we only have one car) and I was just saying that I was tired and was going to go to bed once I got home. But he wanted to stop and get food for himself. Then once I got home and put the baby to bed I went to kiss him goodnight and he started yelling at me because I was "complaining" about how tired I was and didn't acnoledge (sp) how tired he was and how hard he worked. Then I woke up for the night shift. I woke up for the early morning shift. My son was crying while we were up and my hubby comes out and looks at me on the couch and says "Im tired. I'm going to go back to bed until 11". I cleaned the kitchen. When hubby decided to wake up he saw me cleaning. Once I was almost done he said "Dont do that. Il. Do it." I obviously was mad so he asked me what was wrong. DUH?! I said nothing and he said okay. My knees were killing me and I could barely walk. And then he was being a dick and was telling me how I needed to change this and that about myself and I ended up bawling for a few hours. And then got a migraine and went to bed.
You are freakin lucky!!! Cherish your wonderful husband and son. You are very lucky!!

I am soo glad you had a great mothers day!! My husband made me my own work station for my crafting/job. I know sounds odd but I am addicted to crafting so much that I made a business out of it just so hubby would give me time to do my thing lol. But the ruby and diamond ring sounds soooo beautiful. Way to go Tarzan!!!!

I'm so glad you had an amazing Mother's Day and kudos to Tarzan (and Monkey!) for really stepping up the game for the day. :)

Wow, a ring? How thoughtful and sweet. You'll treasure it always.

Yeah, to be honest, I never GOT Mother's Day and Father's Day and all that. It wasn't a big thing in my family. But now I really do get it. And thankfully, my hubbie gets it too, so he treated me very nice this weekend. Mommy-ing is HARD work. One day of being pampered and appreciated is really nice.
