Tinyprints.com is having a sale on Mother's day cards so I'm taking care of all grandmothers and great grandmothers in one happy fell swoop. I called Greg to tell him about my success and his reply was to ask if i wanted to make one up for myself.
I have a 7.5 month old, this is my first mother's day... I guess I just thought that it would be at least a few more years before I was asked to take care of my own card.
After 60 seconds of silence, he started to back track and has now asked that that question be erased from memory because he "...uh...didn't mean it that way".
I am irked.
Seriously?

The easiest way to get what you want for Mother's day is to simply email your dear darling and describe with much detail what you would like. I myself prefer to sleep in (as much as I can) and to have breakfast with my family. Then we sometimes picnic and sometimes we just hang out together. Men don't do subtle at least the men in my house don't.
hunny, after seven and a half months I'm surprised you haven't figured out that moms need to take care of most everything. ;)
I have to agree with both of the above. Also, it was very mature of you to greet that suggestion with nothing worse than a suggestive silence. Maybe he (somehow) was just testing to see whether or not Mother's Day was henceforth going to be a big deal or a small deal occasion. Message received :)
Remember that the hours of his days have at least 50% less baby in them than yours do, so this is less of an absolutely life-altering change for him than it is for you. As in, motherhood takes over your identity 95% for the first few years, but for him it may be more like 70%. He probably forgets briefly that it is so all-consuming for you, but he just got a reminder :)
