AIBU to think that Mother's Day is a time for children to show appreciation to their mums?

[MummySparkle]

OH thinks that it is a day for mothers to spend with their children (effectively a normal day for me)

I know DS and DD are to young to understand the concept. But surely it's up to him to help them.

In my eyes it's a day off from all of the chores that a mother has to do, and just time to spend enjoying the company of her children.

But OH flat-refused to let me have a lie in and won't change any nappies

That is dreadful OP. I agree that you shouldn't do anything for Father's Day but that doesn't really sound like the actual problem.
FTR I got up with both children today - but that is because DH is really ill and is normally very good in fact, this is one of the few times I have had to get up early this year

Why isn't he co-parenting his chldren the other 364 days?
You've got 2 children, has he always left them and the housework up to you? How long has he been this selfish?

DH's shifts mean that he left for work at 5am this morning and won't get home until nearly 7pm tonight so I'm afraid my sympathies are somewhat limited.

I think you need to be firmer with him. When you say he won't change nappies, do you mean today or every day?

op do you have a mother, does your dh have a mother?
have you not done cards and flowers for them?

We are currently estranged from my mother. OH and I have got cards for his mum. We are postponing Mother's Day with his mum because his nan and grandad are very ill at the moment.

i hope you all have a lovely get together soon, for mother's day, that should make your DH realise!

Jeez! Are there still men out there that don't change nappies??? Thought they'd died out.

Pathetic attitude to take.

My OH never changed nappies either.

He does change nappies, but even though I've been really ill recently, when I'm home im still doing half.

He's perked up about now, made me a cuppa and we're all going out for a nice walk somewhere (when I can think of somewhere that we can take the dog and have a cream tea)

I don't see why he should buy cars from the children who are too young to understand the concept of mothers day.

He should co parent his children on any day and today is no different.

No, but DS is old enough to make a card with some adult help

Yes but is he old enough to understand why he's making it? You said he was too young to understand the concept.

Does it matter if they are too young to understand the concept? If He didn't bother to buy a card from them to her she not otherwise get one.

Dh has always bought cards from our two from them to me from birth. He could've stopped doing this when they started school and made them there but he hasn't.
