Holidays are supposed to be joyful and fun, but neither feeling happened in this story.

When your partner totally drops the ball on a big day, things can get pretty tense.

See why this couple were hardly celebrating Mother’s Day.

AITH for not waking my husband on Mother’s Day

My husband of 15 years when on a 3 day work trip before Mother’s Day and got home at 11PM on the Saturday before.

We got in a small fight when he was gone and he said he’d leave me alone on Mother’s Day even though the original plan was to take our 3 dogs for a walk and go to brunch with our 14 year old daughter.

We sleep in separate rooms because he snores horribly and I’m a light sleeper.

The scene was set for drama.

I came downstairs at 7am and we have 3 huskies who are very much “talkers,” so they are not quiet in the morning.

He slept through them barking and full on howling, so I started doing yard work in the backyard.

He never came out and said good morning to me or offered to help with yard work, even though he knows how much I want our backyard back in order for summer coming up.

When I went inside for a break he finally came and talked to me and said “Why didn’t you wake me up to take the dogs for their walk?”

The tension continued.

I told told him, apparently with attitude, “I didn’t know I needed to wake you up on Mother’s Day.”

He never said another word to me until I texted him at 3:30pm saying, “I guess I’m handling my own Mother’s Day dinner.”

“Well what do you want?” he replied, but I was already out the house with our daughter going to pick up fast food.

But now he’s calling me a jerk for not waking him up and he’s saying I ruined my own Mother’s Day.

So AITA?

Here is what people are saying.

Great way to look at this.

SO much anger. This isn’t healthy.

Yep. I hope she chooses the latter.

He wanted a mom, not a wife.

I literally LOLed at this. Seriously, though. No.

For Father’s Day get him a new alarm clock.

Or divorce papers.
