AITAH? For not finishing my wife's mother's day card on mother's day.
Ok so my wife and I had a beautiful little girl, and this year was my wife's second mother's day. She's a Amazing Mum and she deserves to be spoilt.
Iv been working lots recently, ahead of a move. Overtime a few days a week and working 6 day weeks, and when I'm at home I'm spending it with the fam, which I love to do,but rarely get a lot of time to run personal errands.
In saying that, I organised my wife a massage and facial, got her a personalised mug with pics, got her some flowers and made a picture with our girl, and got her a card (I put effort in and properly tried to make her feel special as this year has been pretty rough)
I got up early with the little one so she could have a sleep in, made her a coffee in her new mug, took her the flowers in and came back to make her breakfast and write the card with our daughter. I was half way though writing it when the daughter fell over and smashed her face, and started screaming. My wife came in and saw I was writing the card, and I couldn't really break off to finish writing it and making breakfast. So I left it in a cupboard. We went to the zoo and had a lovely day, and by the time we got back and had dinner it was late and I forgot about the card, then kinda forgot about it monday too, but got it finished and given to her on Tuesday.
I completely understand why she's be gutted there wasn't a card, but there was, I feel I had a good excuse why it didn't get finishes, but she's still really angry with me, saying I Should have had it done a week in advance, how many other dad's do that!? I'm honestly curious. I just feel like all the effort and nice things a did for her got forgotten about because of one thing, that I was in the middle of doing, but got side tracked because of an accident.
In her defence I ain't the most organised of person and I imagine it's tricky to live with, but I always try my best.
