Another Mother's Day Question

[Shelly32]

Just wondering...if DC are too young to celebrate/acknowledge Mothering Sunday, shouldn't DH do something to thank his wife for being the mother of his children?

Oh - oh! If you are a mother who thinks he should , you better tell him ...!

When my 2 were small, I would get breakfast in bed from DH (the DCs could carry in a posy of flowers even when quite young!) and we would go out to celebrate the day. When they were young it was a picnic (brr!) . Now we get to go somewhere nice!

But I have had to make it clear that's what I wanted ...!

Forgot to say - I don't think DH needs to be any more "grateful" to me than I am to him for being their Dad - maybe I am quite grateful ! Whatever, it's nice to celebrate!

Yes and we should, in turn, acknowledge Father's Day.

My husband always gets me a card and a pressie from the kids on Mothering Sunday.

i doubt i will get anything ( not DH strong point)

as long as i spend the day with the kids i don't care

Yes, I think your dh should get something from the dc, and you should do the same for Father's day.

Thanks for the responses..I will make it clear that that's what i want! And i will return the favour on Father's Day too. Hope you all get treated wonderfully by your DC and DHs!! Totally agree that it's a good excuse for a celebration!

YANBU. If you are, then I am, too.

Of all the ridiculous, crappy, commercialised "special" days we are hoodwinked into celebrating, I INSIST on being given a treat or 3 or Mother's Day. Non-negotiable. If DS was too young, DH must sort it! End of discussion.

Meh - not worried either way now. It seems to bring so much angst to so many on mumsnet I can't get excited about it.

I'll settle for my card with handprints on supervised by the childminder.

not holding my breath - organised all- day extravaganza for last year's Father's (fathers'?) day - we shall see.....

Let's hope he treats you in the same way!! An all day extravaganza sounds like something I'd like!!

I think so - showering your loved one with appreciation should be relished at every opportunity.
