To expect OH to get me a card from 8mo?

[lbsjob87]

I've been greeted this morning with two homemade cards from my 5yo, one from school and one from Rainbows and a bracelet she made me at Rainbows.
I also had a card from my 8mo that he made with the childminder. It's not filled in, presumably the idea is that it gets personalised at home, but it hasn't been . When I said it was sweet, OH said "Saved me the effort". AIBU to think that it wouldn't have hurt him to get me a card for DS's first Mother's Day? We came SO close to losing DS and I just feel something to mark the occasion wouldn't have gone amiss.
I don't care about presents and expensive things, but a token would have been nice.
OH's view is I'm not his mother so why should he buy me anything, mine is at at 8mo, you kind of need someone to help out. He never buys for his own mum either.

AIBU or should I appreciate that at least the childminder made the effort?

Do these men who refuse to facilitate Mothers' day also refuse to honour their wives' birthdays, I wonder?

I'd be upset if my dp had done that. I got a card with handprints in it off my 9 week old baby! I'd of been really upset if dp hadn't got me anything from her because "she's too young to understand"

Mothers Day is about .... Mothers. Shock horror! Doesnt natter how old or young your children are. Its dtill nice to get somthing.

No your not being unreasonable OP. It wouldn't of been hard for your dp to bio to the shop and get a card.

Really shitty of your husband that. You might not be his mother but he's not sending the card from him. You're the mother of his children and he ought to buy cards for both of them as they're too young to buy their own.

I'd be properly pissed off about that.

We're not church goers and nor do we go in for lavish gifts for mothering Sunday (or father's day).
But we do see it as family time. We spent the day at Hyde Park on Saturday. On Sunday DH supervised the DC making me breakfast in bed. They had bought and made cards for me, a bunch of flowers, chocolates and a CD.
It's about kindness.
