Mother's Day

I've been starting to think about MOther's Day lately since it's only in a few weeks, and is it wrong of me to not expect anything too thoughtful from DH/Ty?  I have this sneaking suspicion that my H will totally forget about MD until like 3 days before.  Is is wrong of me to start laying hints?  Not that I want anything elaborate, but I want to know that he thought about it in advance, and put some consideration in to it, if that makes sense.  I mean, you only get 1 first mothers day, I want it to be special!!

  • Men are dense.  I say, if it is important to you, then everyone will be happier if you hint at/let your hubby know what you want.

    I'm thinking I just want to at least remind him, without flat out telling him, that mother's day is coming up!  I may send him some links online and be like "for your mom for Mother's day?

    If I flat out say "Reminder that mother's day is in a few weeks..." he'll be like "oh, I have plenty of time" and definitely forget until 3 days before when his mom asks him what "ty" got me!  He's pretty scatterbrained when it comes to dates

    It's going to be a busy weekend for us with LO's 1st birthday party on Saturday, Mother's Day on Sunday and LO's real birthday on Monday.  I keep dropping daily hints that I would like a Kindle Fire for my 1st Mother's Day.  DH is usually very thoughtful when it comes to special events...hopefully he doesn't disappoint on this one.

  • Yeah I don't think MH will remember... maybe he will maybe he won't.  I don't really care though.

  • I just ask DH what he wants to get for our moms for mothers day since its a few weeks away. I am hoping that "reminded" him. lol

    Yeah, I just sent him an email!  I was legitimately looking up a gift I thought of for his mom which reminded me.  Let's see if that "hint" works!

    Now, I gotta think about what to get my mom.  Her birthday was just a few weeks ago so it's hard since she just got a bunch of stuff she wanted.   

  • Just a word of caution with sending links to him and saying your mom would like this or that. It could backfire on you, like he gets that for his mom and nothing for you since you didn't say what you wanted. Some men can be real dense like that.

    Hopefully he remembers that I have a wish list on our Amazon account that I just added a few things to!!  I might also say something to SIL to ask him about what he's getting me when she gets back from vacay.  I'm going to do the same to her DH because I guarantee he'll forget.  He forgot her birthday last year and she had to buy her own gift.  That would have been an easy year to get her something too because their DD was born 3 weeks earlier! 

  • I make one wish list for me and LO so that I can say "look what I added for LO, just ignore that camera/hair/cooking stuff below, that's just so I can remember things I want" I would be happy with a card and brunch.

    AH, love this idea!!!  Right now my wishlist is called "Angie's Wishlist" but maybe I'll change it to "Angie & Ty".  We used to have separate Amazon accounts when I had the free Prime with Amazon mom, but I don't anymore, so we're back down to one master account that we use with the prime, which is under his account. 

  • I was able to easily bring it up since DH's cousin is getting married on that Saturday.  I told him I didn't want to stay the night and spend my first Mother's Day in po-dunk Arkansas.  If it were any other, whatever, but the first one I want to be home because it's special.  So hopefully he picked up on it :)

    I say mention it to him.  Something like, "Are we going to brunch on MD, or should I plan a meal?"
