A Cool Mom (Female, Philadelphia, 29-35, Administrative) asked:


Okay,
We are moving into a single home at the end of the month. We are going in and doing things everyday to it. Painting the kitchen, cleaning the cabinets, we are starting from the bottom and working our way up. Its going to take alot of time and money and I am excited about movinhg into our first house and doing the things to make it home. But he didnt get me anything for mother's day. We have been painting all day, and I stained the cabinets, did laundry, then went to get my grandma, and took her to my moms. We had dinner, he went to his moms, and we met up at home ( the apt we are still in til the end of the month) He told me earlier in the week that he had this huge surprise for me, but so far, nothing. My son got me a cute little glass baby elephant. But my s/o, nothing,. I have gave up, but still feel a little sad that he didnt acknowledge me,. Oh well. I think he got his mom a card, and I know that we are putting alot of money into the house, but no card, nothing. I mean, its okay, Imnot going to be mad at him. Im just venting a little,.

Update: May 13, 2008.
I understand Im not his Mom, but a little acknowledgement never hurt. THanks.

Ditto the above! You ain't his MOMMA! I never get my old man anything for Father's Day.......he ain't my daddy. Cheer up Honey....and grow up. Never pine over a missed "day" you think he should acknowledge - life is short, enjoy it.

That's wonderful that you are moving into a home at the end of this month, alot of work but will be well worth it.

I am just surprised that your s/o would be getting you anything for mothers day. I can see him buying or doing something for his mother but not his s/o. I guess I'm funny in that way since mothers day is for our mothers not our wives or s/o. I never want my s/o to think he has to do anything for me for mothers day.

It's mother's day not s/o other day. Valentine's day, your birthday, christmas, your anniversary are all days that you can expect something. Mother's day is when you expect something from your kids...

In all fairness, you're not his mother. Is your son his son as well? If so, he might have acknowledged you on your son's behalf but if not, I'd say he's off the hook. You shouldn't be hurt. He's just lowered the bar for all future optional holidays acknowledgements! You know the commercial ones - valentine's day, father's day, sweetest day, etc. He's set a precedent for not wasting money on meaningless trinkets!!! I'd be overjoyed!

I'm sorry he didn't acknowledge you on Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Even though it's a day for kids to show love for their Mom's, S/O's shold atleast say Happy Mother's day.

WTF, you are not his mother. It amazes me how the media has twisted and turned everything around to sell more shit. Like everyone, was to buy their wife a diamond, it is mothers day, not Valentines day. It just goes to show how far off course we have drifted. I guess we have forgotten the history behind Mother’s day.
