Mother’s Day is always a let down as husband and our kids focus on his mum instead
DEAR DEIDRE: EVERY year I tell myself Mother’s Day is just one day but every year I get frustrated and furious and end up falling out with my husband.
He is such a mummy’s boy that he always makes a big effort with her and completely overlooks me – the mother of his three children.
I’m 36 and he’s 35.
Our kids are eight, six and five.
My whole life revolves around the children and my husband and yet no one considers me.
It doesn’t occur to my husband that he might encourage the children to make me breakfast for once.

DEIDRE SAYS: The only way to sort this is by talking to your husband.
It’s clear communication in your relationship could be improved if the situation has got this bad.
Let him know how you feel. Spell it out to him that a cup of tea and bacon sarnie would start the day off on a far better footing.
And suggest a treat that you would enjoy.
I’m sending you my support pack, Looking After Your Relationship, to help you both communicate better.
