Would it be bad if I do not get a gift for their nan.

[Mummabear241]

Would it be bad if I did I did not get my DS a gift for their nan on mothers day. I have always done it. Even though me and their dad are not together . Because my boys feel happy and excited to give her something.

My dd is a single parent so i get her something from her little ones. Money is a little tight but not really bad. But not really bad. I just can't really afford yo get for both as it works be 40.00-50.00 between them.

I'm thinking am I taking a way from my 2 children as they like doing it ? Also feel a bit guilty about their nan not getting anything.

Well it's mother's day not granny's day so no reason to get a gift.

My kids are making a cake for granny because she is coming for lunch. I get my mum a present and card.

Lots of people do a nan thing on mother's day . That's what I know of anyway. Even if its not that's what we gave done for several years .

How old are the DC? Can't they pick some flowers or draw a card?

Bunch of daffs and a homemade card
Costs buttons and makes Granny happy. Spread the love ♥️

If it's you ex's mum surely that's his decision.

If it's your mum do a combined gift from all of you.

If you get on ok with her, she's going to wonder what she's done wrong. Your DC could make a card and something like some flowers, plant or chocolates would be fine.

Sounds like you're spending at least £20 on both of them. You could cut back on your DD was well - maybe some flowers and favourite bar of chocolate or toiletries would be great as well.

Maybe bake some cookies or get her something little or just do cards. Many grandparents would love a card their DGC made.

I get a gift (daffs) for my mum on mother's day. From me. I don't get her a gift from my dc because she isn't their mum.

And i certainly don't get ex mil a gift.

Yeah it is. I just got into a habit. She has other adult children and grandchildren. On their side . I just got into the habit abd the kids like doing it . Yes logically it's down to their dad really.

Lots of people buy for gp's as there isn't a grandparents Day now is there? Anyway, my ds has always bought my my mum a gift and card.

Grandparents day is in October apparently.

I think the thought is the gift not the present.
So a hand drawn pic or card is a perfect gift.

There's no grand parents on myside. There's no contact with my mithers my children don't know who she is. So the kids have missed out on grandparents on my side. I think that's why I got onto the habit of getting her gifts

Well it's certainly not publicised and my ds is very close to my mum so likes to get her a small gift and card on MD.

I never knew there was such a thing. Is it a recent thing?

Are your children buying something for you?

I know my teenager has .

Why does it need to cost so much money? I’d continue but spend much less.

Since the 1990s apparently. I've never celebrated it though!

I would get the kids to make a card and get a bunch of daffs. You don't need to be spending £20-25 quid on your ex mither in law who has a son who can help his kids do these things. I think showing an effort is nice though- especially if she is helpful to you (not just her son/his kids).

If you cannot afford a gilt, buy yhem a card to give her or even hand make it, they can bake something, or give her something small that she likes, fav biscuits? Make her tea when they go around. A little detail.

His mum, his problem.

If you can’t afford it then don’t. Maybe just something for a couple of pounds if you can stretch the that? Or get them to make her a card with a lovely message. I wouldn’t ignore her completely if you’ve always acknowledged her on the day but it doesn’t have to cost a lot.

She lives 90 mins away so can't really do the flowers thing. Unless they are sent via florists/simlar which works out alot anyway. Maybe could do thr card thing though.

She don't do anything for me. I don't think she even likes me 🤣. But I don't want to be horrible. Also kids like doing it.

Just seemed to be the average cost on amazon 🤣
