Am I being too materialistic? D

[alex_22]

Definitely not that was a pretty shitty move! I'd be hurt!

Happy mothers day I'm sure if your lo could talk they'd tell you your doing an amazing job ☺

No not at all. It's about the lack of thought. It's very hurtful.

I'm not normally an emotional person but when my hubby handed me a hand made card " folded bit of paper with wife written on it" for my birthday and no rodents from the kids I burst into tears. He had had an op 2 days before. But it was minor, he could drive and he went to the docs the day before which is next to a florist/chemist. I was so hurt. He felt really bad so I don't think he will do it again .

Think it's good for them to see our emotions sometimes. A bit of thought costs nothing

I don't like Mothers Day. It can be painful to those without mothers, which I learned firsthand when my mother died the day before Mothers Day last year.

My husband and I do not plan to recognize either 'holiday'.

However, if yours offered to make breakfast for you and then reneged - that is really crappy. Don't tolerate lack of follow through. Also if it means something to you, be persistent in letting him know. But you may risk being continually disappointed by him.

We don't celebrate either. But I guess I might be alone in this when I say it wouldn't really have bothered me if it'd happened with us. I guess the way I look at it, with no snark toward anyone here, is that I'm not my husband's mother, so even if we celebrated, we wouldn't really do anything for each other.

that was kind of a jerk move, especially on Mother's Day.

Although if my DH had told me he'd get out with the baby and then told me he was too tired, even on a "regular" day, I'd have kicked his butt out of bed and made him follow through.

Did he make it up to you later or another day??
