For the first 10 years I was a mother, my husband always at least bought me a card... we couldn't always afford a present, but at least a card...
For the last 13, however, the only presents OR cards I've recieved have been from the kids that they made at school. our daughter graduated HS 4 years ago, and I have homeschooled our son for 2 years, so I haven't even had that for a while. Dh doesn't even buy cards anymore.
I have always felt that it sounded like whining when I complained that I never get anything for Mother's Day, even though there is never a Father's Day missed...
Last night dh did what he does every year. It goes something like this:
DH: "When is Mother's Day?"
Me: "This Sunday, the 11th."
DH:"Oh, man! And I don't get paid until the 14th. I was going to get you something this year!"
Every year we have that conversation... and after that, Mother's Day is forgotten.
We will take my mother a card and a present or two, spend some time with her on Mother's Day, and when we get back nothing else will be said...
*sigh*
Am I just whining too much? I don't mean to complain about Rick, he's a good husband and I love him, but I'd really just like to have a Mother's Day... not let it be ignored just like our anniversary, and my birthday also are every year... I feel really unappreciated...
I guess being a woman with two kids doesn't entitle me to recognition on Mother's Day, does it... Although our 22 year old daughter never forgets Father's Day...
