Mother's Day card from DP?

[Son90210]

I just can't help feeling offended that he's given me a card. I know he's sent it to say thank you but I feel like he's put me in the same bracket at his mother (and MIL and I detest each other).

does the card say
" thanks but I'm leaving you for your best friend's daughter "?

if so YANBU

Presuming your mother to his kids I don't see an issue.

It's entirely unnecessary imho, but it's not a despicable gesture to acknowledge that he appreciates your status and what you bring to the family as a mother.

Restingff, I've missed this - what's the issue with flowers in vases? Has it gone a bit poncey restaurant and they're meant to go in wellies and stuff now?

So, to summarise mn this morning we've had...

1. He got me a card. The wanker.
2. He didn't get me a card. The wanker.
3. He got me a present, flowers, but now I have to sort them. The wanker.
4. He didn't get me a present. The wanker.
5. Breakfast wasn't up to my standards. The wanker.

Etc etc

You're offended that he has given you a card appreciating you as a mother? Really??

Nope. Sorry. I give up.

Yabu obviously!!! Come on!! Blimey, I feel like a very rational, appreciative woman this morning. People have very high expectations of Mother's Day!

This cannot be a serious post

I should add I am currently in the sofa having been up half the night with sad, post operative dog. DW (we're both mums) is abroad working and Dd is still in bed. It's just a day, if you're loved and appreciated most of the time calm down.

Cornettoninja it's a massive faff to cut the stems and put them in a vase with water and that outweighs any pleasure you get from them.

Apparently. In some sort of parallel universe.

arethereanyleftatall has summed it up perfectly! It's madness.

YABU and ungrateful.

You forgot:

1. DH has flu on purpose. The wanker.

My DH is at work. The wanker.

Thanks gottobeinit, that's a relief - I only own 1 vase and 0 wellies! I was already feeling below the par!
