Was I the only one.....

Who didnt get anything for Mothers Day last year?  No gift, no card, nothing.  Granted my DH isn't the best at remembering birthdays or milestones - (it took him awhile to remember my birthday - after 10 years together he can finally get the date right).

He admitted last year that he was wrong to not get me anything for MD.  Therefore - I did not do anything for him for fathers day - I just couldnt - was still too hurt.

At this point, Mothers Day is Sunday and I've heard nothing about any plans for this weekend.  Matter of fact - he even talked about leaving to go fish Sunday. 

Men are dumb sometimes........

    I didn't either! I did something for him from DD for his first father's day so he better think of something. I would be happy just if I got to sleep in or got breakfast I suppose.

    Not the only one and it is so annoying to me.  I am working on these crafts with DS for people and Dh is like, "Oh, am I supposed to get you something?"  Seriously, sometimes I want to slap him.  He is good about birhtdays, Christmas, etc., but this is just too much for him or something.

    Please PM me your DH's email. I will remind him for you! :) lol.

    Seriously- if it is going to hurt your feelings if he forgets remind him.

    My DH will put it off till the last minute. I'll get a card and half dead flowers from the grocery store that he purchases sunday afternoon...some guys just aren't the "romantic" type and don't get it. In DH's defense he will (hopefully) usually have dinner ready and I won't have to do anything when I get home and can relax (I work on Sundays).

    I pretty much laid it out there last year and told him that I absolutely wanted a card and some kind of other remembrance of the day. I knew I'd be really hurt if he didn't do anything and was worried he would blow it if left on his own.

    I didn't...and I was quite upset about it.  Men don't get it.

    I got cash. DH gave me cash for some clothes.

    Oh, and he also told me I needed the cream for dark circles under the eyes.

    I reminded him a couple of weeks ago.  And I told him that was the only reminder that he would get. 

    I admit - its probably petty and childish - but I feel that if I have to constantly remind him and/or spell it out .... it takes the meaning out of it.

     Although - to show how clueless he can be - he gave me $100 cash for my b-day to do whatever I wanted to do.  He did give it to me in a card - but he just didnt know what to get me. 

    Sigh... oh well - i guess as long as he remembers its mothers day - and he doesnt leave me home alone with DS to fend for ourselves while he goes fishing - it will be better than nothing!

    Right there with you.  I was so hurt and irritated.  I hate that he forgets but I don't want to have to drop hints or remind him as it seems to cheapen the thought.  He's in a no-win situation unless he pulls his head out!!

    It's not "men" it's your men.  It's also not just males I do this too.  DH got a homemade gift cert for his bday because I slacked on getting him a real one.

    If your feelings are going to be hurt tell him!  He's not a mind reader.  Letting it fester will only make things worse.

    DH didn't get me anything until after he realized how upset I was. Then I got a card that he didn't even write in and gift cards (???). I am not expecting anything this year.

    sorry he didn't get you anything for Mother's Day, that must have been dissappointing.  noth getting him anything for father's Day 2 months later will not encourage him to do anything for Mother's Day this year, though.  

    Try reminding him about Mother's Day and what happened last year.   Explain that you'd like to celebrate these holidays and give him suggestions of what you would like.
