I guess I'm only posting here for footfall, so please bare with me.
I've never celebrated the likes of Valentine's day with my wife, we've been together 15 years married 9, and it's not something that's ever been an issue. I see it as a complete waste of time, I don't require a day to tell my wife I love her, I try show and tell her that everyday especially if I want a new computer game
Anyway, I thought the same applied to mother's day and father's day. Again I see them as pointless. So last year I didn't do anything for mothers day. (We have a 2yo) 5 weeks ago my wife gave birth to our daughter so now we have a 2yo and a 5wk old, and my wife has now said how hurt she was I didn't do anything for mothers day last year. So now I feel like a complete ar5e haven't not even given it a 2nd thought. I still think it's silly, but if she doesn't then that's fine.
So now I want to do something for her this year, last night I sat up laye making a card that im going to put a photo of the children in and get the eldest to scribble on it. But is this enough? When she says she would like something does she mean a gift? Or just the thought? I've seen a pottery place near by that does kids crafts that I was thinking about taking them to and getting them to make something. Is that to over the top?
Really confused as to what's expected. What would you people want and think is a nice thing from a person that's never bothered with anything like this before?
