Show your support
We don’t do gifts. Maybe we’ll share a nice lunch that day or something lol
I personally don’t expect anything other than to spend the day with them doing something fun.
How long have you two been together ? Maybe the children can make him a Father’s Day card in June . I just tell my husband that I want to go out to eat for my birthday. I’m expecting our first child together so let’s see what we do but I’m okay with him just taking me out to eat , that too is expensive . Also we each have a mother so we would spend on them as well . I think it’s about being appreciated rather than expecting gifts every time .
Your significant other can* get something for you from* the child. Even if it’s a little craft or taking you out. Don’t take it personal if he didn’t..but, do* get mad(your emotion is valid) if he didn’t do anything to make your day for being your child’s mother and you are a good one at that! You can* get him something from the child. Or give(do) him the same in return. I stopped doing stuff for my kids dad on fathers day and that’s ok because I don’t owe him that..I was doing too much and at that moment I remembered who the kids are because he isn’t the child. Enjoy the child’s presence because that’s all the child can give! I stopped expecting from the significant other because MY kids DO give me the best gift! The Significant other is not the child. The kids are the kids. It’s Mother’s Day not significant others day♥️ that’s for valentines! Gifts are welcome!
If he’s not the father of my children then I don’t really expect anything out of him for Mday I mean my hubby does get me something and does take me out for a date but he’s kind of thanking me for everything I do for his kids and thanking me for being an amazing mum to them…if I was dating someone and my kids were just in the pic and he wasn’t the father …I don’t think I’d expect anything for Mday. But Bday, Xmas, Vday, anni, yeah all the other occasions I would and do expect something and I remind him weeks in advance to not forget. lol. For Fathers Day if he’s been an exceptional father figure to the kids then yeah I would get him something. Because not all step dads give love and affection to their step kids. So if he’s been great, I would appreciate and thank him, yeah.
What’s SO?
Significant Other
@Elise significant other. OH is other half. Both mean “partner”. Whereas DH means darling husband. So married
Oh lol, got it thanks. 🙏
Has he gotten you gifts for any other holiday
Seeing as he’s not the father of your children you really should have a conversation about how you want to proceed with Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and set expectations because it’s not as cut and dry as if you had children together. And better to decide now and set the expectation of whether your children are going to view this man as a father. Also good to set the expectation of whether this man is going to acknowledge your kids as his own and therefore honour you as their mother or whether he’s not that serious
I always get him a little something. I don’t get upset. That said, I wouldn’t be a mom if not for him, so. If I ask for something, it’s usually family time or a breakfast/lunch out. But I still wouldn’t be mad if he didn’t get you anything. But I would still maybe do a little something for him.
