Would this make you grumpy?

[LLL]

give it til after lunch.
Happy Anniversary!

[Deleted]

Eh, wait a couple more hours. I've had flowers delivered after lunch before, even for times that I paid extra to have them there by 10am.

Considering everything you've been through recently, I understand being grumpy if you don't receive them by the end of the day.

[papie]

You have until the end of the day before you get grumpy. He may bring some home tonight? My H usually does that. He will forget and stop on his way home.

[julez]

Honestly, I think that your demand is a bit over the top, but considering how your week has gone, I think that you are entitled to be over the top. Free pass! And flowers. You definitely deserve flowers.

[karmasabiotch]

You don't know the delivery schedule so don't get grumpy yet.

Call and order yourself the prettiest flowers and have them delivered. Do it for yourself.


Oh, and who was the poster that bought herself a ring because her DH didn't?

Exactly.  That said, I can't imagine demanding flowers.  DH has never sent me flowers at work and I am totally fine with that.  He will have them waiting when I get home from work but that is VERy rare.  I would rather him cook me a nice dinner and clean the house.

If H ever cooked dinner (and cleaned up afterward!) AND cleaned the entire house, you would be able to knock me over with a feather. This would be a dream come true.

I get wanting flowers delivered at work. It's different than getting them at home for some reason.

But I agree that you should wait until the end of the day before getting grumpy.

Happy Anniversary!

[fuckyourcouch]

by the end of the day? sure, i'd definitely be grumpy.
but i know every time H has had something delivered to me at work, it's always arrived after lunch. i wouldn't freak out yet.

[pantsparty]

No. Maybe.

I would react poorly to H telling me I "needed" to get him something. On the other hand, I appreciate a wish list. But still. I would never tell H he needed to send me flowers.

[sonrisa]

I see nothing wrong with asking for a flower delivery (asking for something weekly? No. Once in a marriage after a really awful month? Hell yes.)

I hope they arrive.

LOL exactly!  My H would much rather I demand flowers.  If I asked for a clean house and cooked dinner, he would thing I was being competely over the top.  ;-)  And we would eat sandwiches.

See, that request strikes me as over the top. Making a call to a florist is easy and well within any of our husband's abilities. Making a nice dinner? That takes culinary practice. Cleaning the whole house on top of that? Much more work than flowers.

I guess I don't get telling someone to send you flowers, kind of ruins it for me. H has brought me flowers at home before but the cats eat them and knock them over every.single.time, so we've decided we have to be a non flower household.

If I didn't ask for flowers, I would never get them.  So I'd rather have the requested flowers than be bitter that I never get flowers. 

DH tried the whole "but the cats eat them" thing too, but I told him I'd rather have pretty flowers eaten and knocked over by the cats than no flowers at all. 

Yes, I am high maintenance.

But it doesn't ruin it for her.  In this situation, that is all that matters. I rarely make gift requests or wish lists because I enjoy the surprise. Plenty of women here do and are happy about it.

Yes, this.  H sometimes gets me flowers, but I usually have to tell him, "Hey.  I'd like for you to send me flowers on my birthday/Valentine's day/our 3rd anniversary after we've had a hellacious week."

[penny]

Like pp said I would a little while longer. I don't think it's an over the top request at all though. To some people it might seem weird to tell H what you would like, but my H likes to know exactly what would make me happy and for me to just tell him.

[cheeseandcrackers]

There is still time!
By the end of the day I'd be kind of grumpy though if I specifically asked him lol.

Oh, I have never requested he clean the house or make me dinner.  It's just something he will do for me as a surprise.

Well, we don't all have diamond shoes or perfect husbands :-P

[CloudBee]

Nope.

[sherbanator]

I hope you get your flowers!

[amberatkins]

I'd give it until the end of the day before you get super angry, but I think you're entitled to be a little grumpy. I mean, he already gave you attitude about getting you flowers close to Valentines. And you straight up told him something that's really easy to do and will take 5 min on the internet with a credit card. I hope you get your flowers.  (rose)

[firedancer49]

Yes, I would be grumpy. Hold out hope for the rest of the day. I had them delivered at 4pm one work day, and I was steaming all day.
