I am pre-menstual so some of what I am feeling is probably coming from that and this being my first post will probably be long-winded and seem petty but it has to be done.

I am annoyed that my parents seem to worry more about the birthday gift they get for their daughter in law than for me. It is not that I want anything expensive or anything just something with a bit more thought than 2 bottles of wine!!!! I probably wouldn't have minded except it was my 30th so I was hopeful for something a bit more for me like a spa voucher or something I could use to pamper myself. I have 2 small kids and could do with a bit of self indulgence!! I was also disappointed that my family didn't organise anything for my birthday, as a rule we are a family of party throwers especially surprise parties so I was a little more than upset that nothing was done at all. If I hadn't decided to have a cake in my house it probably would have gone without anything at all.

Now, they are great at helping out with the kids and minded them overnight when my husband and I went out and all and maybe I am being unrealistic to think or to expect that they would do nything else but that is why I created this blog so I can voice these unrealistic expectations and get them off my chest so they can stop bothering me!
There will probably be more later.
