| Yea I use to be that way didn't care if he got me anything or not on any occasion, I just caulked it up to the fact it wasn't his way of doing things, besides I figured it was the everyday stuff that mattered the most.Until I seen him doing it for other females & not me.Waiting on them hand & foot, doing what ever they wanted then I knew he never done it for me cause he didn't want to.Now I really resent him for it. I also stopped doing anything for him just this year & he makes dam sure he mentions it every chance he gets. I don't recall ever saying anything to him when he would forget birthday, anniversy, ect...You need to make sure your husband pays for the dinner.Yes he should buy you something for mothers day after all you did give birth to his kid. |

| I feel for you, I really do. My husband (of 16 years) is the same way. My children are 10, 12, 15 & 18 and I understand they have the ability to "take care of mother's day themselves," but let me tell you......I don't think it would hurt my husband to simply say Happy Mother's Day to me and tell me he appreciates all I do for our kids. This year, my oldest daughter bought me flowers for him (on her own, he didn't ask her to) and she had him bring them in to me....when he did he said "here i guess i got you some flowers for mothers day cause you gave birth to my kids."GRRRRRR I'm not materialistic either and am not asking for lavish gifts or flowers, just letting me have a relaxing day and him making that effort would be good enough for me!I wish I could offer you some wise words of advise, but as you can see, I'm in the same boat you are! |

| My husband has always gotten me a card and when our son was small a gift from them both too.How would you like to be on my end now. My son is married with 2 small children and his wife controls the WHOLE day. He spends it doing as she wishes. I didn't even see him. They all get together with her family to celebrate. I have never spent Mother's Day with my grandchildren and in my daughter-in-law's presence. Even before they had children she would spend the whole day with her mom, aunt and grandma. Sometimes my son will visit alone. She says it's HER day and she wants to do what she wants to do. Yesterday she wanted him to help with the children all day, so that meant no visit to his own Mom.Maybe I'm different. I ALWAYS considered my mom and mom-in-law equally for holidays. It was spent visiting them with no thought as to what I wanted to do. |
