Recognition (and a lie in) That is all, however my husband chooses to present that is up to him.
I wanted a new dressing gown for a while to pack in my hospital bag (second on the way) my husband took my 3 year old to buy one and she picked me a Princess Mother’s Day card, which was most sweet, we also went out for breakfast, i am so happy with how they celebrated me.
My partner paid no mind to it, plus he lost his mum this year so it was equally hard, I got a card though from the childcare plus I spent the day with my mother, so what more do I need, just to appreciate my mum more as she is 80!
I got a lie in and flowers, which was more than enough. My youngest doesnt understand. He thought I was sick because I was still in bed 🤪🥰
All I ever want is a lie in and a handmade card and some flowers! Everything else is a thoughtful bonus 😊 🌷
A card, maybe a small gift. But it’s more for me about having a lovely day, my husband asked what I wanted to do and made it happen. I wanted a nice walk, a Sunday roast cooked for me and some time to read my book. I do think social media has a lot to answer for and skews people’s expectations.
i don’t expect anything, it’s just another day, everyday my partner appreciates me so i don’t need a dedicated ‘day’ for it. it’s lovely to receive a card and i’m extremely grateful for it but I really don’t care to have a fuss made and i wouldn’t expect a thing, i’m just glad to be my sons mother
I wanted a card with some kind of involvement from the baby (they did footprints in the shape of a heart sort of 🤣) and to do something as a family - we went to a local walled gardens and had lunch there with my mum as well 😊
I suppose whilst we don’t expect much and our partner is not our child to make the day about us, it is up to us to transmit to our children that sense of “your mom/dad is important” not about a present or spending money, but details to express that appreciation, so that they carry that on with them later on in life no matter what happens as a couple.
Saying happy Mother’s Day, a card and a lie-in suit me fine!
On Mother’s Day I generally want to do no parenting and receive edible gifts 😂 I was given toblerone and ferrero rocher, so that was a good start…. but then I had to feed and dress the kids and look after the toddler through our “lovely lunch” 😂🫣
I’m a solo parent so I’ve never expected anything but this was the first year my son actually understood and said happy Mother’s Day and that was enough for me! I’d always only expect a card and a bunch of flowers though. It’s just a day.
I got a bracelet with locket that has my baby and our cats pictures, flowers, personalised t shirts and personalised card. He also booked afternoon tea for us. However what i didn't get was perhaps some emotional closeness. I appreciate his efforts and discussed how to improve on emotional aspect of it all x
I’m pregnant with our first and my husband got me some flowers, a card and some sweet treats - made me feel special and I loved them all

I’ve asked for no gifts for anything (Christmas, valentines, birthday etc) this year. We are trying to pay off the windows we’ve had put in. I personally hate having cheesy personalised stuff (I think it stems from being a teacher). My husband bought me flowers and a card this year but I would have just been happy with a card. I’d rather be loved, respected and appreciated all year rather than just one day.
Before my eldest was old enough my partner would get me a Pandora charm or something along them lines but i never expected that. He now takes her to the shop and she picks me some bits and a card from her and her sister. I’m 35 weeks pregnant with our 3rd now and we went bowling and had a family day x
Breakfast in bed, card, flowers does me nicely 💗 usually hubby cooks a nice dinner after he does bedtime aswell ! Nice family walk in between 😀
I loved everything I got my daughter is 6 and she chooses everything herself
All I have ever got and wanted is a gift that my daughter has made me at either nursery or school. This year I got a gift she made at school, a card she made at school and breakfast in bed. I loved it, I felt so spoilt
I’m a first time mum-to-be so didn’t celebrate this weekend but for me I feel my expectations would be something thoughtful from my partner and kids (when old enough). That could be making lunch/dinner, ensuring all chores are done so I don’t have to do anything etc. And I do like flowers so some flowers would be nice.
