It reminds me of how it takes a man to raise a man. Yes, I can train him up, but no, I can not lead by example. Lets just say that DH only had mine for the last 4 years of school days, and my son left the day after graduation. Soooo...he only had to invest a little. When my son was with us, I asked DH to help him with Mother's day, i.e. encourage a card, even if it is only home made. He rolled his eyes at me and said my son was old enough to figure this out. Well, yes, but they still need example and some encouragement. To this day my son doesn't remember a single holiday. But I caught DH reminding his 29 year old daughter not to forget mother's day, over the phone. Are you kidding me???? Then he took the 12 year old to get a card for her BM because she had forgotten. I want to cry and never stop. DH gets me a card but it seems obligatory. There is so much more to the story. I will never make this mistake again, marry, that is. What was I thinking? For mother's day weekend I took the trash to the dump, did laundry, and mowed the lawn. He did nothing but taxi because BM will not drive an inch out of her way. Oh, I forgot, he did play clash of the clans on his ipad.... I am sure he conquered many nations.... Huge accomplishment for DH. So sick of my life....
