A final Mother's Day one (light hearted)

DH and I agreed last week to postpone Mother's Day because he said the kids weren't organised. Honestly this isn't a problem because they've been working hard in school/uni and we see that as the most important.

Anyway on Mother's Day it turns out he hadn't organised a card or present for his mother because he'd forgotten, and hoped I might have thought of itConfused. He didn't appreciate me telling him that she wasn't my mother so it wasn't my problem. (It was the way I said it to him, not the sentiment).

I found out from DS this morning that my children had been organised. They had all sorted cards and presents and has been disappointed their plans had been cancelled. I know I should have spoken to DC first but assumed that DH had, and I didn't want to make anyone feel guilty.

So since I can't get it through to DH that(we seem to have this conversation every year)
A) I'm not his mother,
B) he doesn't need to get involved in MY Mother's Day,
C) he should concentrate on his own mother
AIBU to LTB?

It’s up to your DH to sort his own mother

She’s not your mother

Thanks @Taffeta, I don't think he expected it, he just hoped I had.

He still hasn't sorted a present and her birthday is a couple of weeks but I'm not reminding him.

Eh? He told you the kids hadn't organised anything and cancelled My, but actually they had? How did that work?

They're teenagers and hadn't told him they were sorted so he assumed they'd done nothing. In reality he wasn't organised and assumed that because he wasn't that they weren't.

He didn't want them to feel guilty that they'd forgotten because they'd been working hard at school/uni.
