honda13 - That would have ticked me off too. I probably would have reacted similarly and then also regretted it later, but just the degree of reaction, not being mad.
I am also (probably overly) mad at my H. He flies out tonight for an interview. Last night we got woken up by our dog at 2am because it was storming. I was sound back asleep when he got up for work. He could not have made more noise. Then as I'm leaving for work I go to grab my umbrella and it's not there. He took it. Cue frantic search for another one. Please note he has his own umbrella he fails to keep track of. I texted him saying next time he needs to tell me when he takes something of mine because I almost missed the bus finding another. But I really want to text him my fave work quote: "Lack of planning on your part should not constitute an emergency on mine".

honda13, I probably would have reacted the same way and also felt bad about it the next day. Is he upset about what happened? I'd apologize and try to move on.

Yes he feels bad and told my mom he's sorry he ruined her birthday. She insisted it wasn't ruined, which it really wasn't I was just angry. Mh is so sweet, but he easily forgets things due to a motorcycle accident before we met. I've known this and learned to adapt. I usually remind him of things 1002520513023 times to make sure he remembers and knows the details. A lot of the time he gets annoyed I remind him so much and the one time I didn't remind him this happened. I know he feels awful, but it was a screw up on both our parts and I acted like an idiot. It's one of those things where in five years will this matter, no. It will be a funny story in 5 years. I've apologized but I'm trying to think of something nice I can do for him to make up for being a hormonal bitch.
Story for your amusement: I was invited to a surprise baby shower for a friend which is happening this Saturday. Invite went out before Christmas. The two hosts said more details would be coming, but it would be a potluck. Another guest and I both commented on the invite asking about a registry right after New Year's. No response from the hosts until yesterday (6 days out). They sent an email update saying the husband suggests Amazon gift cards and also that everyone needs to bring a main dish as well as BYOB (hosts are doing apps and dessert). Also to bring a book instead of a card.
I'm in a state of disbelief with the hosts. This is not a close-knit group. I only know the mom-to-be and one other person going. I feel they are asking for a lot from guests so close to the actual shower date.
I don't do many things last-minute, so I already have my gift (with gift receipts). Things I've given other moms and they have said are useful. I will gladly bring a dish, but don't think we need 6+ main dishes, so will likely do a side or salad. And I already bought a book as part of my gift and it's already wrapped, so that's fine.
I just can't believe how much they asked for last-minute. I'm a planner and give people probably too much heads-up. Plus, when you host a shower, don't you usually take care of it on your own? I know I have. Different strokes, I guess.
Update to my story: We're now 4 days out. One of the hosts sent another email:
"I know I said in my last email an amazon gift card however, I think it would be fun to have Jueun open baby gifts... so either one is OK."

Liking because I love that quote. Cmon, H, don't steal her umbrella!
honda13 I feel you. I have such a hard time controlling my anger during pregnancy because hormones. But you're a better person than I for trying to make it up to him
marshian , I would not have been so nice about the umbrella lol. I'm just a mean wife.
He just texted back and said because there was a giant umbrella (doesn't fit in my backpack) he thought I was fine. Dude, I had to carry cupcakes to work (coworker's birthday). There was no way I could also carry a giant umbrella. I just told him not to assume anything and just tell me if he takes something of mine right away so I know in case I was going to need it.
Labor playlist?! That's a thing?! *runs off to Google*
Apparently it's a thing. The doulas we've interviewed have mentioned it and I read about it somewhere too.
I made two. One for calm and relaxing time and one that was fast jams to get me pumped up for pushing baby out. I only ended up listening to it to get my mind off contractions. If I could sing along it would help me thing about the lyrics and not the pain. Then a nurse came in an commented on my choice of music and ruined it for me. Concentration broken. Not that it matter anyway since baby wasn't coming out the primary exit.

I do not want any of the sex. At all. Stay away. No touchy! My poor dh. But I feel a tiny bit justified because the first time around he was too creeped out and HE didn't want sex. So, fair is fair. Karma, idk.
I fell asleep in my 3 yo's bed while she was "reading" me books at 6 and she must have just left me there. She came back at bedtime and told me I had to get up because she needed her bed now for good sleeps. LOL THis pregnancy is kicking my butt.

I forgot to share this earlier. I feel like I have to pee all the time, and I found out why at my A/S. June Bug is happily perched on my bladder. When she wiggles, it adds pressure and the feeling gets worse.

Same! I literally pee and then have to pee again. Baby is also chillen on my bladder.
