I get a bag from my child. Who then asks to share them. No. Absolutely no. AIBU for a bit more thought? I don't like that I'm expected to share, they've gone off in a huff and my OH is also in a huff.

MissGeist · 30/03/2025 15:55

I'd share a few with a 6yr old. My teens wouldn't get any though.

WetBandits · 30/03/2025 15:53

First thing that came to mind when I read your OP.

How mean of you ☹️

One of my DC bought me a pack of chocolate cookies in the bunch of gifts they bought me for Mothers Day (when they visited me today.) 12 there was.

Have a guess what I did with them @ChicMiss Go on guess.

Okay okay.... Multiple choice answers...

A) I clutched the pack of 12 cookies to my chest, and flounced out of the room to hide them under the bed, because like fuck are any of my kids getting any of them - OR my DH.

B) After DH had made 4 coffees for him, me, and our 2 DC, I opened the pack and gave us all 3 each to have with our coffee. (Then threw the packaging away.)

What do you think I did @ChicMiss ???

Ah aren't you a saint hun xoxo

It's the thought that counts and I'm sure your 6 year old would have been excited to give you them which is now ruined.
I got nada not even a card. As I was making her breakfast (2 hours after I made mine) I got a mumbled happy mother's day. They did try to book somewhere for dinner but the earliest they could get was 8pm as they didn't think to book beforehand and considering I'm up for work at 430 it was far too late. Suck it up buttercup and share the eggs cause once they become teenagers you will be lucky to get a smile.

@Crocsforlife

speak for yourself! Not all teens are like that

Damn, my dad got a ton of chocolate for his birthday and shared it with the whole family

i got my mum a loccitane gift set and she opened it and gave me the hand cream straight away because she knows I love it (that’s why I got her the set, because I know she’ll love the products too). I share chocolate etc. that I get as gifts.

aw you should have let her keep the hand cream - she might love it just as much as you!

I’d share ordinary mini eggs, but if they were the orange chocolate ones, kiddo could fuck all the way off.

uncomfortablydumb60 · 30/03/2025 15:19

I think it’s lovely he chose those for you
of course share them FGS

6 years old. I'm just miffed that it's a gift I have to share. Yes it's mother's day but I'm having to share my gift. It would be nice to receive something that is just mine.

Ok princess 🙄

MumCanIHaveASnackPlease · 30/03/2025 15:18

Just a reminder to some of you on here

its not your child’s fault that your DP/DH is a useless low effort waste of space. Stop taking it out on them.

Frankly some of you need to pick better and that’s on you.

Got her a shit gift that she's now taken out on the child. Thinking that the mother of your child might feel unappreciated with a thoughtless gift is not that hard. It's not about how much is spent really but I'd expect more than that.

But the child might have chosen it

Not all families spend a lot of time on Mother's Day, Valentine's Day and the like

rainbowunicorn · 30/03/2025 15:02

How? The only person at fault is the OP. She has upset her child who had chosen a gift for her. The husband is probably sick of her childish, immature attitude and annoyed at her for upsetting the child.

Well maybe it's tit for tat. She's coming across a spoilt brat but maybe it's because he's not bothered.

The first time Dad helped me to buy a Mothering Sunday present for Mum, he took me to Woolie's to select a soup ladle.

Poor Dad."B...b...but...you said you needed one!"

6??????

I would expect to share with 6y.o.
I offered to DH some of my sweets this morning.

a mother being given a gift which she is then automatically expected to share with her child regardless of what it is is so typical and exactly why I won’t have kids

WTAF have I just read........? 😂

Just when I thought I'd read it all on here! 😬

It's your partner who's at fault here, not the child. Get a grip

What a miserable attitude. Even before children I shared what I had with friends.

My advice to your child would be to LTB (you).

😂

Looks like the OP is not going to post again.

She's definitely reading the replies though.

Probably catching up after popping out to buy another pack of mini eggs! 😆

(Which she will guard with her life...)

Fuck's sake, you child. Don't be selfish. What on earth are you demonstrating to your child?

For me part of mother's day is sharing chocs with my children! They love choosing me some chocs and always try to choose something they think I'll like, i always offer them one to try!

The thing is, when you’re a mother, you WANT and ENJOY sharing with your children. We aren’t talking a Rolex watch here, we are talking chocolates, and a 6 year old. It’s a very sad affair when a mum begrudges her child a bloody mini eggs.

Hobbitfeet32 · 30/03/2025 14:53

This has got to be a joke right? My youngest gave me some chocolate. The first thing I did is share it with her and the rest of the family. Because I love them and it was a joy. But I'm also one of those mums who got up early to take one child to their sports game and felt so grateful to be able to enjoy it. Thinking of those who have lost children or mums today x

AgileHiker · 30/03/2025 14:52

I wouldn’t be celebrating Mothers Day at all if it wasn’t for my children (to state the obvious) so anything I receive, we can all enjoy and share together
