Anyone not care about Mother's Day?

I guess it is a family tradition that Mother's Day is just another day. I was kind of disappointed that I don't "feel" something more. I want it to mean something, but I really don't. To me, it's just another day. I had actually forgotten about till DH walked in with a Wii fit for me yesterday.

Anyone else?

I would have liked a card. I don't care about gifts, but a card would have been nice.

This year I only want to make a big deal of it because I want Matt to do the dishes, I want Einstiens for breakfast and I want an iPhone.

But the iPhones are kinda like a mothers day/graduation gift because DH graduated yesterday.

Otherwise, we don't do a whole lot for MD.  Maybe cards to our moms or whatever.

MD isn't about the gifts, I couldn't care less about that. It's more about the acknowledgement and the fact that everything I do throughout the year that sometimes gets taken for granted.

I agree its not about the gifts.  I'm curious though where the acknowledgment comes from cause today is no different than any other day.  I feel just as taken for granted today as any other day

I just see it as an excuse to have Matt take me to breakfast lol  I don't want to cook.  And I can also say "Honey, its Mother's day, you should do the dishes"

And like I said, we are just using Mother's day as an excuse for iPhones.  Both of us are getting them and it just happens that our contracts with t-mobile ran up with in days of mothers day and graduation.

I'm not into it. I don't need cards or gifts. My DD's smiles, laughter, hugs and open mouthed kisses each day are a reminder/gift of my hard work of balancing motherhood, work, being a wife and maintaining a nice home. I do throw a "gathering" at my house each year for my mom, though.

I want to sleep.  Aside from that I'm good with a, "Hey, since Hallmark has taken over the airwaves and stores with lots of stuff that says 'mother's day' on it I was reminded that you're a mom who's good at what she does.  Thanks, babe."

I agree totally.  For me it's also a day to hang out and do whatever I want with my family.

I do care.  But not in the sense that I'm looking for 'stuff'.  Like PP said, it's more about being acknowledged and appreciated for everything I do the other 364 days of the year.

DH wanted to get me something and I told him no.  I got a card from each of the kids, one from him, roses, breakfast and I slept in.  It was perfect...and was gift enough for me.

It isn't a big deal in my house. DH makes breakfast every weekend, I a spoiled mom in that I am told by most of my family I am a good mom regularly. For me it is just another day. Now if DH could buy me flowers every now and again I would be golden.
