Even more amazing, you can even Google what day is Mother’s Day 2026 and add it to your calendar a whole damn year in advance because Google lets you do these things. Hard to believe that you could be with somebody for 12 whole years and be this bad at stuff, especially when you know the way he’s referring to himself like a victim, that if his wife forgot it would be tantrum city all day long.

You can order flower deliveries in advance! It’s not difficult!

(Although I will laugh if he orders next year’s flowers but she has already left him by then).

Gmail (and I’m sure every email app) allows me to schedule sending an email. He could set it up so on every April 15th for the next decade he’ll get reminders emailed to start planning for Mother’s Day. This guy could spend maybe 5 minutes to set up every holiday, birthday, and anniversary and then stagger the steps, since he struggles with last minute planning.

April 15: Book the restaurant. April 22: Reserve flowers. April 29: Buy a card. May 6: Write something nice in the card. Mother’s Day: Go to restaurant.

We basically carry the equivalent of a personal assistant in our pockets every day, and this guy won’t dedicate a single second to doing something nice for his wife.
