I just never manage to get it right!

Sounds like what you need is a divorce

I think that's really unfair of her. I hope she makes it up to you.

Sooo...... how's the evening been???

Doh, this is harsh mat, especially after some of the compromises you are giving with moving ! I would probably do one of two things - 1) talk to her about this and why you don't like it (sensible) or 2) sod it and stop bothering, do what you wanna do (maybe slightly less sensible). Hope it sorts itself out either way!

Grow a sack and tell her exactly how much of an ungrateful and selfish cow she is being. She's making you and the kids suffer so she can have her own way. I certainly wouldnt put up with it.

Ah...I feel really bad for you mate. TBH, my first thought was....how could she say that when your kids had taken her a cooked breakfast. My sister and I always used to do things like that for my mum and she always reacted the same way. There is simply no pleasing some people, but when that dissatisfaction is taken out on the kids....you should tell her.

She needn't have felt guilty about next weekend as it was an honest mistake, but her reaction to the suprise is something she absolutely should feel guilty for...the kids got hurt and it was directly her fault. She needs to make it up to them and apologise to you.

You just seem really really annoyed by this, so probably better to get it off your chest and have it out with her than let it simmer and let resentment creep in.

I thought it was a really sweet and thoughtful thing to do...(please PM Stretchie with some ideas...lol).

You guys don't have a clue!
The best gift you could have given her that morning was to have quietly taken the kids out for the morning and given her a long lie in!
Gifts and cards could have waited until the afternoon

that would have worked if he'd known in advance that she was going to need the lie-in. As it was, seems that he did his best to hold the kids back a bit (not easy at their age).

Kev - in my house you'd be a saint for going to all that trouble! Having had my birthday, christmas, valentine's day and other special occasions all passed by, it would have been fantastic.

But if my boys do something nice for me and I'm not quite in the mood for it, I always try and let them know that their efforts are appreciated anyway.

To think that they don't allow us to beat our women anymore, it's a disgrace!

Know how you feel fella, some girls are just funny feckers when you wake them up. An Ex of mine sulked all day after she dreamt that I had cheated on her. When I finally confronted her about it I took it and tried to make peace. We all learn how to deal with it eventually.

These days though, I can be a hormonal cow when I like too, I just forget to take my meds and my mood swings so black, it sucks the light out of the room.

If you want to be really nasty though, you now have an amply supply of Emotional Black mail, administer it with care though, or you can cause some horrible damage.

Finally, be glad you only have one wife. Think of those poor religious (nutters?) folks who have three or more.

Hmm, misogyny from a woman, can you tell I am feeling bitter today? Where did I leave my HRT?...

I hope it's really just a dose of post-feminism
