How Would you feel?

in November 2011 Moms

Let me start by saying Husband dude is not good at gift giving, at all!! So he is a great provider, helps with LO all the time. Makes dinner and does dishes almost every night. Always says how much he appreciates me and all that I do for them. Tells me I'm the best mommy ever. Love him for all of this. 

So I knew that come mother's day he would get me hugs and kisses, it's what he always says. Im a little disappointed because its my first mothers day! I dont need expensive things or even flowers because they don't last long. But he could have put some effort into this right? A card, a picture of my boys, anything that was thoughtful. Hell I'm already thinking about his gift and what we're doing for him on fathers day. So should I be mad? Upset? If I say somethig I sound like a greedy person. Oh wait I did get BBQ and beer last night, does that count?

    I couldn't finish... So today and tomorrow when people ask "what did you get for your first mother's day?" I have to say something to make him not look like a goofus. And it'll just remind me all day.  Oh and all the posts and FB posts of all the things people get today will be just fun. Pure fun. 

    Do I sound horrible?

    Sorry you're disappointed! I would say something, not to sound greedy, but to let your DH know what you expect(that sounds snotty, but I just mean "to get on the same page").

    Even though my DH is a good gift giver; I showed him what I wanted for Mother's Day this year & even ordered it myself. I typically don't do this, but I knew if I didn't that I would be disappointed because I had my heart set on a specific thing this year. If he does extra, I'll be impressed. If not, I'm still good.

    Happy Mother's Day, I hope you are able to enjoy lots of snuggly love from your LO!

    Honestly, I know how it sounds, and I get it. Especially with this being your first mother's day with your LO. Even if it's not something huge, he should have done SOMETHING. If there was some sort of financial reasoning behind it I could see that-- but every mom deserves breakfast in bed on mother's day. I got that this morning, followed by our first trip to the zoo with LO, and a gift certificate to a salon for a spa day (not trying to rub it in-- just to give him an idea for next year!). I don't blame you for being disappointed.

    FI is the same way. His "gift" was spending the day with me :P I teased him about it so hopefully he will get the hint for next year ;)

    He did try at least, he went out and got me some choc strawberries and a beautiful flower arrangement. A nice card to go akin with it which is fine just a little late. Money is not an issue I just think he really doesn't get it. Oh well next time I'll just have to put up pictures of what I want. He really is a good H and dad just clueless at times.
