Mother's Day

Are you expecting to get a gift for Mother's Day?  Did DH ask you what you wanted, did you tell him, or do you think he'll surprise you?

I told DH what I wanted, but we'll see if he actually gets it.  It's something he has to order ahead of time online so IDK how that's gonna go. 

My step-dad never got my mom anything on mother's day- his theory was "you're not my mother."  His gift giving skills are lacking for other holidays as well.

No, I don't think it's a gift holiday. I told H not to get anything so he didn't feel pressure from all the ads on tv to overspend on something huge. I'd like a card, and maybe he'll offer to do the night feeds.

He didn't tell me not to open a package so I accidentally found out what I'm getting, so he just gave it to me.

H asked mew hat I wanted, but I didn't know what to say.  I would have probably said something with her birth stone, but he got me a ring and earrings with her birthstone for Christmas.  There was a necklace he wanted to get me but it was too pricey.  I did see an add for something and told him it looked cute, but didn't say I want that.  We will be at his parents house for his brothers graduation so who knows what will happen.

We don't do gifts in our house... ever. But I have requested a gift for mother's day. I flat out told him I want the "Two Together" twin willow tree figurine. Am I going to get it? Probably not. He wouldn't think to order it ahead of time, so I'm probably going to buy it myself. If he acknowledged it with a card at least, I'd be happy.

My birthday is always around Mother's Day so I'm sure he is going to lump the two together.  I think he set aside a whole day to wake up early with the baby and give me that day off from the baby.  I think that is pretty nice!

this is our house. We never do gifts (that's what i get for being with a JW kid!) so i think i can make him get me a gift this one time. Although he has asked me when mother's day is about 100 times. 

We haven't been doing gifts this past year to save money.  The gift I want is less than $20.  We'll see how it goes.

I want professional family potriats taken.  I have wanted them since DS2 was born and I think this is a good excuse.  I don't want to do the research and set up and just want to have it happen.  Hopefully, he will get it for me.  He usually thinks saying ok to what I want counts.  We are not big gift people.  What always want is time - him researching and purchasing so I don't have to.  All our money is together if I want something it doesn't have to be a gift for me to get it.

I'm hoping. I told my husband what I wanted, a new initial necklace because Ethe one he got me as a push present/Christmas present is already starting to tarnish, plus the one I want is dressier. We'll see.
