Mother’s Day
Show your support
Omg that’s awful of him! Happy Mother’s Day! He’s definitely the one in the wrong not you! X
Happy Mother’s Day to you 💐 Your partner is an idiot. And I’m sorry he hasn’t marked this special day for you. Enjoy cuddles with your baby and make your own special day. Maybe do something to mark today and make a card or a picture with your little one for you off them? Draw around his/her hand maybe? Or if you’re able, pop to Asda and grab some paint and paint their hand and footprint onto some paper off them for today. Just a thought. I hope you’re able to enjoy the rest of your day you deserve it!!
I think my husband sees it as a good opportunity to show how much he appreciates everything I do for our daughter. It’s my 3rd Mother’s Day today and my husband has got me something and made me a nice breakfast for each one. Xx
My partner has similar thinking and my mum went all out for my first Mother’s Day
@Elena it was the same on women’s day so I didn’t get him anything for a man day but he don’t care to be honest 🥲 i remained him yesterday about Mother’s Day and he still did nothing
@joanna lucky ☺️
I’m starting to think these men have been raised by demons at this point because WTF!! Why are they such selfish inconsiderate arseholes??? 🥴
@Ash to be honest I would appreciate just stupid Happy Mother’s Day in the morning
My baby isnt even born yet and even I still got a card x
@Neena he said that he never had Mother’s Day and I’ve just said Bless your poor mum
my fiance has always got me summit of our daughter x
Happy mothers day x
@Elena girl I went into Card Factory the other day, they had Mother’s Day cards for as cheap as 15p! Fifteen fucking pence and these men are out here making every excuse under the sun! It’s shameful. @Klaudia what do you mean he’s never had Mother’s Day? Is he not from the UK? Even if he’s from a country that has never celebrated it, he’s in the UK now and understands the concept of things like birthdays, Christmas etc and Mother’s Day has been heavily advertised since Feb - basically he has no excuse. I’m taking it he doesn’t have a good relationship with his mum?
@Neena we are Polish and we definitely have a Mother’s Day there, it’s on different day but still, I even remained him about it. My mum always have flowers from me and my sister on both dates. I think it’s just stupid excuse.

@Ash yes to all 3. I’m confused, those are basic things that men should be doing anyway. After all, it’s their children, of course they should be helping out with the childcare. Household chores well yes they live there too. Their partners are not their slaves. Having a job doesn’t absolve you of your duties as a parent and husband lol Why does having to celebrate one day mean you have to starve? 🤣 Why would your man buying you a 15p card, a bar of choc and a £1 bunch of flowers detract from food being on the table, chores done etc?? Why is the bar so low for men?? Women accept such subpar treatment it really is sad.
@Ash but making a card at home or pick some flowers/bush outside cost nothing. Just effort.
His a dick . It’s his job to organise something small
My fiance works and helps with everything it's 50/50 in our house x
Especially as I'm disabled x
I don’t think it’s about the money. It’s the effort to acknowledge all we do. I’ve been lucky enough to have had gifts but my favourite thing is the card my son made off him and his little sister.
It is both you and your partners role to model how to treat those you care about. Your kid might be too young but its the thought that counts at the end of the day and while my LO is only 9 weeks atm, I had a Mothers day card "from" her (as well as a bday card from her during my pregnancy) as we're celebrating the fact we're parents now (starting as we mean to go on y'know?)
I got a card and that’s it for my first Mother’s Day. He spent his earnings on beer for himself throughout the week and a food shop- so at least I can eat :)
^^ also He laughed last year when I was pregnant and said I’m not a mum yet so obviously didn’t do anything haha but that’s alright x
Well happy Mother’s Day!! There is no excuse for not getting you anything… You can make a card for free just use baby’s hand or foot and keep as a memory this is what we do. Granted I have a craft box with paints pens and card in.. I don’t buy into the cards as I think they are expensive.. but as other have said you can get them xx esp enough, saying happy Mother’s Day cost nothing.. personally I think it’s wrong not to wish you and happy Mother’s Day and do something. Like tea and toast in bed it’s just the gesture.. take the baby whilst you shower etc
Happy Mother’s Day🤍 xxx
He's stupid. He should be getting you something from the baby.
Because your child is top young, that means it IS up to him to organise. My husband knows it's important to me so he makes an effort. Even when I was pregnant with our son, he bought me a card from him, which was unexpected. Your partner needs to buck his ideas up
@Neena well said
I got a mummy and me photo shoot and then three of those pictures blown up onto big canvas’s to hang on our wall the photos were from the baby but the shoot was from my partner he said he wanted to get me a gift aswell since I’m the mother of his child he should thank me for everything I do❤️ It’s ridiculous that he couldn’t even be bothered to get you a card at least!!! I would be livid honestly

@Ash I am kind of the same way in the sense that I told him ahead of time I rather save up for a family vacation in May. But he’s going to cook supper, I’m not even big on birthdays, however I think he did order a breastfeeding necklace. But again I’m like you, I just want the money to go towards family things and I am super happy with having a little getaway in the beginning of May.
My husband has been getting me mother’s days gifts since I was just a few weeks pregnant with our first. For me my children (both boys) are learning to be good men from their father. My husband is amazing and said I’ve been a mom since I grew those babies and I deserve something special. Your man needs a wake up call some flowers and words of affirmation is the bare minimum in my opinion
@Elena I wasn’t talking about that…. I just said for me personally I told my husband to put it towards a getaway in May as that’s what I wanted
@Ash and honestly where I am originally from Canada, Mother’s Day isn’t until May so us going away in May almost is honouring my Canadian roots haha
@Ash it’s like we arent allowed to not want anything on Mother’s Day. I even hate celebrating my birthday 😂
@Ash I always been referred to as an oddball because I always hated going out, even when I turned 19 I didn’t even go out to celebrate my “legal drinking age” I just rather a quiet day in if it’s bad weather or a walk in the park, fishing, picnic if it’s is nice
Too young 🤣 did you, or did you not have a baby? Have you, or have you not been raising this kid? My LG is 9 months on Tuesday, I got a card, we spoke about what I might want (he's putting money towards the tattoo I'm getting to honour our LG) and the sweetest message sent to me (he got on late last night from a work event)
😂😂😂😂 it’s a tenner
Our little boy is nearly 17 months old and my husband got me a book, about mothers day because our little boy loves us reading to him, a pandora family bracelet and a charm and we went out for the day. If your child is too young to go and get something, make something or say happy mothers day it is up to your partner. Do you have to wait until your little one is working or able to pick something for you before you celebrate it? I don't understand. It is different if you have agreed not to celebrate it
I got stuff for mothers day, from my mum, friend and partner. Got messages from other people. I'm sorry you didn't get anything. Happy Mother's day, you're doing amazing.
Your partner is an idiot. Your baby may not know or appreciate what Mother’s Day is however your partner knows what a fab job you’re doing and a bit of an appreciation from him would be nice. I hope you had a lovely day 🥰
He’s stupid! Don’t do anything for him for Father’s Day! X
@Elena oh man that was so painful to read 🤦🏻♀️🤣 I can’t believe you had to repeat yourself multiple times and still couldn’t make them understand the irony 😭 @Klaudia Happy Mother’s Day!! You absolutely deserve better than that. I had a card from my partner and he had written a little poem in it to thank me for all I do for him and our baby, which meant so much more than any gift would. There’s no excuse for a lack of thought and effort and I’m sorry you were made to feel sad, I hope he makes up for it next year xx
@Elena You’re making COMPLETE sense to me. I’m not sure why people are confused! You can’t say £2 is too much for a keepsake but then flippantly say £10 is ok for a night out regardless of how long it’s been.
For my first mother’s day my husband took me to the mall and got me some of whatever i wanted- he’s stupid and needs to make it up to you.

I didn't get anything either as a FTM. And really well and truly disappointed by it to be honest. I let him sleep in (my choice as he does nights and days so is often tired, although Sundays are his days off). It took till 3pm, for him to say happy mothers day from our little one. No card homemade or shop bought.no gift, no you're an amazing mummy etc (he does often say these things to me so I know he does appreciate it but it would have been nice go hear it on mothers day. I Asked if we could have a nice walk together, he said he was too tired. I took our little one for a beautiful walk in the sunshine and to the park to see the ducks. Then ended up coming home and I cooked a full roast dinner. 🤦♀️😟
😱😱 he sounds awful 😢 Mother’s Day should be celebrated regardless! My husband bought me a Mother’s Day card from “bump” (our little one isn’t due until June). Happy Mother’s Day lovely, I hope you enjoy your day 🫶🏼 xx
