Step Talk

I don't.

My DH works on Sundays, so it was me that got the kids up and dropped them off to their respective mothers. Not a word from either one of them, and they know what day it is. But, I don't expect much from them. It really was my husband that I am upset with...

See, he comes home in the afternoon from work. I'm standing there to greet him, as usual. He never acknowledged me. Turned his back on me, and quickly walks away without any word to me, cold shoulder, changes his clothes, monkeys around for something in the backyard, and leaves the house. Not a word to me.

A few minutes later, he comes back in, still ignores me. At this point I don't' really know what's going on, so I go back to say 'hi, remember me?' His tone with me was less than desirable, and he pretty much barked at me... so I left him alone.

About a half hour later, he comes out, calls his Mom, takes off... that was 4pm... all without one word to me. It's now going on 8pm and he still hasn't said one word to me, all I can think is that he took his mother out to dinner, and left me at home. Nice huh?

I so feel like second class. I am so upset right now. It's not even funny. I didn't even get a Mother's Day card. I did, however, get a not even wrapped DVD, for which he picked out for me, while I was with him a week ago. He didn't even take the time to wrap it, or get something without my knowledge. Just said to me snottily in the store one day. Would this be a good Mother's Day gift. I didn't want to be rude, but man I felt like sh!t.

So, that has been my Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to me. The only folks that have said anything to me was my mother when I called her, and my Grandmother.

It's not the materials, or the gift, but the acknowledgment. A little affection, a kiss, or a hug would have been nice. After all, I'm the one that takes care of his kids... Can someone please remind me why I'm here?
