first off my husband forgot it was mothers day. he had to ask me if it was! second of all i had to watch our daughter all day long. while he slept all day until he had to go back to work that night. third of all, he got mad when i said i wanted to take a shower before he went to work. he told me to take the baby in with me while i took a shower. i was like i just want a moment to myself for the first time all day! GRRRRR Be responsible, get your pets spayed or neutered! :-) |

Jen & DragonFly, I read your posts the other day. I know what you mean about Mother's Day, but my reasons are a little different than yours.
I have always given my Mother a card and a present. My father did this as well. When I married, I gave my Mother and Mother-in-law cards and presents (my husband and I together did this). When my children came along, one of our neighbors became so involved in their lives (she was unable to have children), my husband and I began to include her in our cards and gift giving. Because I was a Mother, my husband included me. You get the idea. My husband and I are very attentive. As the boys got old enough they picked out the cards. When I became a grandmother, we added our grand daugher's Mother to the card and gift giving tradition. Now, as to why I am upset. My sons have been a part of this all of their lives. But, once they were old enough to make or purchase cards or presents for me or any other significant female, they didn't. My sons are now 17, 19, and 29. Over the years I have probably received a total of 10 - 12 cards and 3 to 5 gifts from my sons. If my husband didn't recognize me at Mother's Day, no one would. He is very attentive. But he is not my son. My Mother-in-law is deceased. This year I only recognized my Mother on Mother's Day. Even then we spent the day doing her laundry (she is in Assisted Living), taking her out to eat, and giving her a present and card). I don't resent what I do for my Mother. But, I don't understand what happened to my sons (or brothers). My sons were not brought up this way. My Father and Father-in-law were the most attentive spouses and so is my husband. But my brothers are like my sons - though they saw our Father recognize our Mother at every opportunity. On Mother's Day neither one of my brothers even call her. She did receive a card this year from one of my Sister-in-laws. I know that Valentine's Day is for spouses, lovers, etc. But because our Mother always received a card and Valentine candy from my Father, I continued the tradition. I am a female. It does look like my brothers could step in along the way. Our Mother was wonderful to us as I have been to my sons. So, there can't be a legitimate reason for any of this. My brothers are now 43 and 45. So, even youth can't be a reason. They have witnessed first hand the attentiveness of their Fathers. I just can't figure out what happened. |
