Mothers day - present?

[Minerva Mouse]

Does your husband buy you a mothers day present?

Does your husband buy you a mothers day present?

I'll let you know. He has in the past.

EDIT: I'm fully expecting to not get anything this year. I didn't remind anyone (1 DD and 2 DS) that Mother's day is coming.

 

[superme80]

Yes. The boys are too little to shop for me.

 

[JessicaR]

He used to when the boys were little.

My husband gets me something small with the kids and coordinates them making something the day of, then we go out to eat which is the big gift. I think he will continue to get me something small or get me a card once the kids are on their own because he's always expressed appreciation for my role in carrying and bringing up the kids, which I am grateful for. Of course, I always get him something on Father's Day, too.

 

[Southernmiss]

Yes. Although he attempted the "you're not my mother" line one time. Just once...

On Monday, he came home talking about Mother's Day. I was shocked and asked how he remembered. He said Mike and Mike on Espn were talking about it. Yay for espn radio! For once, all the gifts and cards to our 3 moms have been delivered early!

Don't know what's in store for me...

My daughter is due in July and DH got me a pretty "Mom" charm for my charm bracelet yesterday.

He can never wait until the actual holiday to give me any gift....

 

[usd2bmd]

He and my daughter (17) usually get me something. I told him this year I just want us to go to breakfast together and then we will come home and I will be able to work on my scrapbooks. my daughter and I will probably make a day of it.

Married almost 30 years. I am the mother of his children. Yes, present, brings me flowers, and takes me out to dinner.

 

[joanne312]

Yes. My DH, DS 1, and dog all go in on a present together

 

[DaisyD]

He used to when kids were little from them. Not since they are old enough to get stuff themselves. I'm not his mother and hope he never gets me a mothers day gift.

 

[mommasita]

I usually pick it myself, and charge it to him

 

[maslex]

Doesn't necessarily "buy" me anything. But in years past we usually just went out to eat so I didn't have to cook.

And for the past couple of years, he's thrown a BBQ for our family, his mom and his sister/her family. My mom won't be here this year since she moved out of state last year.

So tomorrow will be burgers/dogs, filet mignon, baked potatoes, veggie, fruit salad, deviled eggs, ice cream cake. All bought, prepared and cooked by him. The moms are not allowed to cook or clean up. He says for us to just kick back and relax for the day.

I'LL TAKE IT !!!

DH knows I am so sad that both DD's live so far away. He bought me a huge hanging flower for the patio and is cooking steaks on the grill on Sunday.

 

[Mickey'snewestfan]

My dad used to make up some excuse for me to "earn" money, and then take me to the store, point out things my mom might like, and then help me pay for it with "my" money. So, I guess technically he didn't buy my mom any gifts, but the fact that a 4 year old was showing up with a sweater or a piece of jewelry, while her 2 and 6 year old siblings also had nice gifts, was probably a give away.

 

[Nancyg56]

He does not. When the kids were young he always took them shopping and then we went to dinner. Now that they are adults he leaves it to them.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

No, not really. Now the girls are older, I buy my own gifts. Last yr. I bought a new purse and a tree.

This yr. I think I want a fountain for my porch. Just something small.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's how things wind up in a few years for us, too.

My DH bought me one volume of the walking dead comics. I will get him the second volume for Father's Day.

I was raised in a family where Mothers Day and Father's Day are no big deal. We spend time together and buy small gifts for each other all year long to show appreciation, so the date on the calendar doesn't matter. Big shock when I started dating DH and he was raised that the parents are queen/king on that day.

We are figuring out our happy medium between the 2 extremes. My only insistence is that one patent doesn't trump the other. Fathers deserve as much attention as Mothers.

My family is like this too, nothing is expected, but nice to show your appreciation. My MIL assumes everyone needs to drop everything else on every holiday and make a huge fuss over it. Glad she lives in another state.

DH and I rarely buy each other gifts for any occassion, we just buy what we need, when we need it. I'd rather money go toward a trip than a piece of jewelry any day.
