Mothers Day Question

[ChillySundays]

I am married and my DH is the father of my DC so when they were younger he bought the presents and now they are older he nags/reminds them to buy a present.

My DD was telling me about her friend whose DP (and father of their child) doesn't do mother day and for some reason it made think of families where mum and dad have split up

If you have split with their dad but now live with a DP who takes responsibility for Mothers Day?

My brother actually helped my son this year. Handmade card and some flowers and a lovely roast dinner. Felt so spoilt :)

My husband sorts stuff out for his mum and ex, cards and flowers, cooked dinner for his ex and mum and his kids (and me) and bought me some flowers to so I didn't feel left out. It's year he's thought of that last bit!

Do you mean that nothing happens until they are old enough to mention it?

Yes, pretty much. And then if (like MrsRhettButler's DD) the child proactively wants to do something, then I'd point them in the direction of some papers, pens and glitter to make a card.

Job done until they are old enough to have pocket money and organise a present themselves.
