Talk about being oblivious.
Like many mothers, a Connecticut woman wanted nothing more than for her little girl’s Cinderella-themed birthday party to be memorable and special.
In order to do this, Courtney Davis spent countless weeks planning the princess party of her 4-year-old’s dreams. She placed orders for things like custom-embroidered napkins, and she carefully lined table covers with lace trim.
Talk about being detail-oriented.
Davis — who is a mom of two — didn’t just cater to her little girl. She made sure to put out a delicious spread of food and drinks for the adults.
Although most young tots don’t notice these things, Davis told Today.com, she goes above and beyond because “It’s my anxiety.”
The key thing to note is that her hubby seemed to be barely involved in the planning of their daughter’s birthday party.
It wasn’t until the actual day of the party — when everything was in its place, ready for guests and the birthday girl to arrive — that he asked if his hardworking wife needed help with anything.
He also had the nerve to ask Davis: “Did you get a cake?”
Clearly, this man doesn’t know his wife very well, or his head was in the clouds, not noticing all the behind-the-scenes work Davis did leading up to the party.
The real kicker is that Davis innocently caught her husband’s naive questions on camera when she was bringing her phone around the party to capture the final product she worked so hard on.
She posted this humorous — maybe a little exasperating — video to Instagram with the caption, “Thanks so much for asking,” and the floodgates opened with wives running to the comment section to share how their husbands are also oblivious at times or joke that they want to stay single forever.
“Reminds me of Christmas morning. Did you get presents for the kids lol.”
“Put all the husbands in a bag, shake it up, reach inside….. you’ll get yours every time, cause they all the same.”
“I was scrolling Instagram to relax, but now I’m filled with rage thank you very much lol.”
“I was going to start dating again but never mind.”
“Single women are the happiest.”
This isn’t the first time moms are calling out men. A fed-up mom went viral for sharing why many women have low sex drives.
“Not an f—ing chance,” she said, after going through a calculation that consisted of eight hours of sleep, three full meals, helpful husband duties — and one too many toddler touches.
“We gotta find a way to add in how long the husband takes to poop,” joked one person in the comment section.
“Women in stem,” someone else wrote.
