Re: I just never manage to get it right!
 

Mate, that is a bit poo to be honest. Even as a woman looking at the situation I can see that she is out of order. In fairness I guess we are never at our best with a hangover but perhaps to have appreciated it a little and then said "I really need a lie in now" What a shame.

Best thing to do is tell her how much trouble you went to and that you appreciate she had a hangover but there was no need to be so negative.

Theres your problem, dont try in the first place or at least less often.
When your not doing it she may realise whats she probably got complacent with, taking or being taken for granted is very easy.
Dont try too hard either, simple things but do them well.

A bit 'off' that you are in the dog house, for trying making a good effort bud but does sound like, someone needs to grow some cojones :p ;)

Don't sweat it mate, just let it go. The best gift I can give my Mrs is an extra hour in bed... some girls just neeeeeeeeeeed their beauty sleep, and woe betide the man that wakes 'em!!

Arghh that was a lovely gesture hun .... shame it wasn't appreciated. Hope you 2 make it up soon and she makes it up to you, hope the kids weren't too disappointed.

Chin up, sunny tomorrow get out on your bike and leave her to be grumpy xx

Is that not exactly what they call "life"?

You plan, sort, organise, agree, set-up and execute something to perfection only for it to blow up in your face!

That's supposed to be her job.. :safe:

Re: I just never manage to get it right!
 

Reminds me of my inlaws. They got married in 1949 when money was really tight, and on first anniversary in 1950 John bought an anniversary card. Mary considered this the height of extravagance and poor John was condemned. So she never got an anniversary card again, not to the day he died in 2001.

Sorry to be judgemental Kev - but if she can't be gracious about it then she don't deserve it.

Re: I just never manage to get it right!
 

Was a very thoughtful gesture and I hope the children weren`t too upset that their efforts weren`t appreciated. Hangover or not we should always take the time to show our kids how much we appreciate all they do.

Re: I just never manage to get it right!
 

+1 to what Ed sez.

Irrespective of whatever her reason for biting your head off, the kids don't deserve that sort of cr@p. We, as adults, can understand a bad day but kids don't - someone needs to make it up with the kids.
