I just never manage to get it right!
 

:confused:

<Rant>
Here's the story:

My wife is away next weekend doing weekend craft retreat and has been feeling bad because she won't be here for mothers day. She booked it ages ago and didn't realise the clash.

Anyway she was really feeling guilty about the kids, so I decided to bring it forward a week and a day to today so that the kids didn't get left out and that she could have a nice time without feeling bad. GREAT IDEA!

Well that's what I thought!

So the kids made cards, got a couple of bunches of roses and a bought her a big box of her favorite chocolates and were looking forward to making breakfast for her and giving her the gifts on 'our' mothers day.

However, the wife went out for her works belated Xmas meal last night (delayed due to the weather etc.) and came in p1$$ed last night.

So at 6:30 this morning Harry 5 and Daisy 9, were both up a raring to go, I managed to keep them at bay until 7:30, but they were insistent on making Mummy breakfast.

With a croissant and a coffee they had made for her and the flowers, chocolates and cards off they went upstairs to see her...

"WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS?" said in a scowled voice

I lost interest at that point and came back downstairs, needless to say I am in the dog-house, the drink and breakfast remained untouched and now I am bad for doing it today when she was nursing a hangover.

Oh and the reason I am not doing it tomorrow is that I have to be up and out at 6:30, so today was my only chance.

What a cow! I was just trying to do the right thing by her and the kids...

Unlucky. Should have got the kids to bring her a "hair of the dog".

Maybe she'll appreciate things more later?

and you win by losing.

All I want is a quiet life, where I am free to run or go out on the bike when I feel like it, and the occasional n0shing thrown in.

I have even agreed to a smaller house, against my better judgement because it is "perfect". It is much more expensive too and my commute will be up from 25 miles per day to a gnats over 70 per day, my poor CBR...

Not sure I follow that?

I took my wife to Munich last year as a surprise Wedding aniversary & combined 40th birthday, plus seeing Bruce Springsteen to boot as well

I didn't score any big bonus points, and I came back thinking why did I bother, so I've vowed never to go to the trouble again. :smt092

You are not alone in being unappricated, although I'm sure there's plenty of ladies out there who would have at least said thanks :-({|=

I am sitting here brooding about it i am so p155ed off about it.

I honestly bend over backwards to make her and the kids happy but it never comes off as I expect it to!
