Mother’s Day gifts

Am I the only one feeling like Mother’s Day is just about grandmas ? Because it seems like at least in my life grandmas don’t do anything to celebrate the REAL moms who are going through it , but we have to sit and plan out cute crafts for them and plan our days around them. You shouldn’t have to parent your kids for 18 years to get a good Mother’s Day 😂😭 anyway I’m going to make myself some crafts this year because nobody else cares enough to do it , and I don’t wanna hear anyone say “ well you should ask them to” because I surely don’t want any sort of gift that I had to ask someone to get or make for me.

Where I’m from it’s the children’s dad’s responsibility to get stuff for the mum whether they are together or not x

Probably getting a good Mother’s Day bc it’s still not their own kids organising it smh. I do feel like all mothers should be celebrated, that said though, I do feel it should be catered more towards mums in the trenches

I’m sorry you feel this way. My friends have celebrated with me since it’s my first Mother’s Day but my husband has as well. Also, don’t ever feel bad about asking people. People aren’t mind readers and some people don’t know you enjoy gifts, honestly! the people are me all know I love gifts and I’m a big gift-giver so around holidays like this, they reciprocate!

I mean it’s your kids job to make YOUR Mother’s Day special. Just like you make YOUR moms Mother’s Day special. I won’t be getting a “good” Mother’s Day for a while because I have babies 😭 what is my 8 month old gonna do for me?? And anyways I think it’s sweet to respect and acknowledge everything a grandparent has done. At the end of the day they have put their time in, and they’re actively involved with their grandchildren. It makes sense to me. My husband goes out of his way to make sure I’m appreciated and that’s all that matters

Mother’s Day is ALWAYS about my mom. For the past 3 years, she hasn’t bought me a gift, or put in any effort on making my Mother’s Day special too. I’m just at the point where I’m done celebrating her. I’ve celebrated every year, making it her day for 26 years. And she couldn’t care less to give me the time of day. You get what you get I guess!

For us grandparents have grandparents day! Mother’s Day is for you!

Maybe it’s a uk v us thing but it’s shouldn’t be your mother’s responsibility, you’re not her mother. It’s your children’s father that should be ensuring you’re celebrated while the kids are still too young to do it themselves

I don't think it's supposed to be that way... That's your baby daddy responsibility to make your day special. Also it's possible sometimes to join celebrations with in laws or family to celebrate your own mom or MIl. But any gift from your kids is for you (not their grandma's)

Same here with my first as a single mom my mom got me something from my oldest but my hubby has never got me anything (have had his bonus daughter and all 3 of his children) but expects me to give up my time and energy to do something for his mom

Well grandmas are moms that’s why they’re “grand mothers” it’s just hard the first few years to have Mother’s Day celebrated because babies can’t do anything. Husband should definitely be trying to make the day special for his mom and especially you since you’re now the mother of his children.
