Bad Mother’s Day present?

[The Legend of Southall]

Got the missus an exercise bike from the kids for Mother’s Day.

Ungrateful cow been given me ear ache for days since she heard.

I genuinely thought it was a decent gift and better than some 5 quid Tesco flowers.

Shall I take the bike back and get her flowers? Or just put up with the moaning for a few weeks?

I feel your pain.

Years ago, my wife used to regularly cut her legs shaving with a razor. She was always complaining about it. So one birthday I buy her an electric razor. A decent one mind, that can be used with water. She went absolutely spare. To this day, I still don't know what I did wrong.

More recently, during lockdown, I bought her some wireless head phones. She had been complaining about wired ones when using the tablet and baking. Money was tight, I didn't have a big budget, and they weren't the only gift I had brought her. So I did my research, and bought a decent pair that had good reviews, despite being cheap. She went mental because they weren't expensive ones.

Funny thing is, she gets pissed off if I ask for a list at Christmas. " But I'll be happy with whatever you get me" and " you always get me great gifts, so stop worrying." She says. Uh huh

Feel the pain mate. You done well and the gift was appreciated. Just gotta roll with the punches and move on.
