Ungrateful

The only thing I got was a card my little one made at nursery🤷♀️ it doesn't matter it's just a day, she tells me she loves me every single day and that is all I need
I got a picture my daughter made at nursery and cried. I then spent time with her snuggled up watching a film. Plenty for me :)
I was disappointed with my flowers and card, but only because he went out and bought them at 7.30pm last night. I have no issue with the actual gift, it was the lack of forward planning and last minuteness of it that annoyed me.
My little one made a handmade card at school and a little clay flower. He then went to the shop with my husband to buy flowers and chocolate which he chose himself. It was lovely to see how excited he was to give me everything this morning with a bacon sandwich and cup of tea. I was more than happy to just receive the card from school, and not have to make breakfast this morning. I do similar on father's day for my husband, breakfast and coffee in bed and then an inexpensive gift that our little one picks themselves
I get my daughter why would I need a card 🤣
Sorry, BUT! Did you seriously make a whole ass other post just to bitch about another mother's post, which i assume you are also one of the comments on! If you don't agree with it move on and let her have her feelings! If she's feeling unappreciated (whether you think she should or not), why tf would you also create another post about it just to double down on calling her ungrateful. What anger are you projecting? Clearly something isn't right with your experiences either or you wouldn't be so bitter to go to this extreme over just disagreeing with how someone should feel about THEIR circumstances... grow up.
Sorry, BUT! People are allowed to be disappointed with things. Doesn’t make them ungrateful. Just human with human emotions.
@Heather allowed an opinion mate :) have a gorgeous day x
@Donna Woods lol it still does tho?
Nope. Disappointed and ungrateful are two different things 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@Donna Woods its literally ungrateful what I’ve read. Enjoy your night x
I got a card, a made card from nursery, a canvas and we are going for a day out once we have a nice weather weekend. I’d have been happy with just a card. To me it’s just another day for people to waste money? I’m a mum every day and my boyfriend appreciates what I do every day 🤣 I don’t need to be showered with all fancy things just because it’s titled “Mother’s Day”
@Sarah but why does it matter what time he went? The fact he went out at 7:30pm to make sure you had a card and flowers IS actually thoughtful!
I got nothing since im alone, would have killed for some flowers or a card.. some people are so ungrateful, they shouldn't get anything!

Some people have different standards. I would be disappointed with just that as well. And yall can call me ungrateful all day idc.
She can feel whatever she likes and has every right to. It’s not wrong to want a certain level from your partner.
@🔮Angela🔮 didn’t say she couldn’t, just pointing out it’s ungrateful
I think I just read the post that bothered you. The way I read it, it was the lack of effort that frustrated her. It sounded like there was a long history of him putting in minimum effort and she was feeling under appreciated. Effort doesn't need to be material goods, he could have cooked her breakfast, organised a low cost day out, deep cleaned the house. I guess we'll never know what would of made her happy I know if I'd vented my frustrations and saw a post calling me ungrateful immediately after (on top of the comments) it would have just added insult to injury. I understand where you're coming from with your points! But for me, I think it's unnecessary to hate on another mum without knowing her circumstances. I'm so happy you had a great mother's day, it sounded very sweet!! 😊
I did something totally different this year I told my partner and children that I don’t need a certain day to celebrate Mother’s Day and I don’t want any gifts or cards. All I wanted to do is have a nice hot brew in the morning and spent the day together. Tbh I will remember this time more then a card or gift- but this is how I wanted it and everyone’s expectations can be different
The internet made everything a competition. Mother’s Day in the UK doesn’t stem from consumerism, it’s about Lent and your “mother Church” and the sense of family. It’s not about wanting flashy things, it was about family reuniting in the spring and honouring our mothers. It’s lovely to get gifts but to complain about someone getting you a card and flowers and not IG post worthy content is brat behaviour. PSA- The internet isn’t the real world ladies, envy is the thief of joy. Don’t compare your worth and your partners to what you see on your feed.
