To think it's a bit shit I got nothing for mothers day

[grainyperson]

I know I know, I don't mean to add to the collection of hundreds of threads. My children are still young but even so.. nothing made at nursery? DP hasn't made anything with them.. I didn't even get a lie in ! Feeling meh about the whole thing.
Especially as I have no relationship with my Mum, can the day be over already?

[starzig]

FGS. What do you want? A bit of cardboard to throw in the bin?

[WendyCope]

NannyOgg Yes they have, as many have attested to on this thread.

A class of small children are not told to make mother's day cards and little Anna in the corner, whose mother has just died do one for the dog.

This is not 'PC' it's a human and empathetic reaction.

It won’t lessen your disappointment, but if you try for 20 years for a baby with never a blue line, no card on Mother’s Day is something that will never change. You’re not wrong to feel hurt, but count your blessings as well. In time your kids will get you cards, presents, and flowers of their own accord. Until then, enjoy watching your children fast asleep, kissing grazed knees, and pride at the school concert. It’s something money can’t buy. Hope things improve for you soon.

I wish my kids school would stop making mothers/fathers day cards. Hate having to highlight it to the teacher every year that they dont have a dad.

[BlueSaphire]

Why not give your child some crayons and let him make you a card.
My favourite one is a flower and a mummy I love you, my child made it about ten years ago, with much gratitude and shouts of don't look ...
It is sat on my boiler and still makes me smile.. as it is spelt wrong

Thats a lovely post it made me smile.
I was going to suggest the same, let your children make you one now....it will be just as precious as an expensive shop bought one. x

Aw what a lovely photo of your doggie zoella

[Zoflorabore]

Gorgeous pic zoella, what a lovely boy he is :)

My dd is 8 and I'm year 3. They always make something in school but it's for mum/nan/auntie/carer etc, doesn't have to be mum.
She copied the verse her friend did as it was nice. I was thrilled with such a lovely sentiment until she told me she had just copied it

Mother's Day is just another day. I've received cards and money and flowers from mine ( via dp ) but I know lots of people use it as an excuse to go out, get pissed etc and others show off all of their tat on Facebook.

It's a marketing scheme that's all.
Whether you're a mum or not, you're special and don't need to be told that today just because.

@ZoellaFortitude
So sweet!

I don't expect or really want Mothers Day acknowledged. To me it is another day ruined by blatant commercialism. But have just had some beautiful flowers delivered by courier from my daughter. How kind, how thoughtful, but still feel that I would have preferred not to have received them. Thanked her profusely of course.

[Dimsumlosesum]

I reminded dh about 10 times two weeks beforehand lol (as he would forget otherwise). He knows though I hate being brought stuff, I just love getting their little drawings. Sometimes partners just forget or don;t think there's much importance behind it, and youhave to actually ask to have a lie in etc.

[Vargas]

YANBU - it's really not difficult to get kids to make a card, you have every right to feel miffed. Some people just can't think of others, a shame it's your OH.

[grainyperson]

DP won't even be here to cook as he now is going to pick his dad up from having surgery.. lovely.
No I won't throw anything my DCs have made just the thought would have been nice

[grainyperson]

No he wasn't working last night, I'm sure he enjoyed his lie in until 8.45 though 🙃

[FartersDay]

@zoellafortitude
What a photogenic little guy :)

[grainyperson]

I don't need to be told I'm special but a month after having two d&cs, various tablets to remove the tissue and stuff it just feels horrible to not be given one day of a break

[Gloopy]

I got a card from my DS 5 from school. But my OH hasnt bothered, and neither has my 19 year old DS. Out shopping yesterday getting my mum a few bits and OH said 'I suppose you want a card off DS' and said no and told him not to bother. I was pissed off he had to ask. I do a lot for my DS and also my SD and OH, and I know it's commercialised bullshit but I'm still hurt no one gives a fuck. So I'm drinking wine and letting them all fend for themselves.. Ha..

[BlackeyedGruesome]

@BeanTownNancy

and for good measured. I hope you get to enjoy the real thing soon.

Oh Op, it does not take much effort to get the DC to make a card and make a fuss. Giving you a lie in, breakfast in bed, doing all the chores are all free.

[Orangecake123]

Yes OP that is a let down. It isn't hard, I wonder if you do anything for father's day?

Do something nice for yourself.

[AnotherNightCooking]

Mine are 20 & 18.
I got a very quick text from both this morning. I’m not seeing either today as they are doing their own stuff.
I’ve just bought myself a bunch of roses, a couple of nice cans of G & T’s & put a baking Camembert in the oven.
I’ve spent the last 10 years standing on the sidelines watching footy on mother’s day so this is perfect.
I’ll see them both tomorrow & cook them dinner.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

[Oblomov19]

Mine is shit too. Ds's both lied to me yesterday about different issues. Ds2 couldn't even be bothered to/ forgot to write his Mother's Day card, that Dh bought for them both last week. Then he did it, rushed. Just a lack of care and consideration for me.

Dh is saddened that both ds's are so ungrateful and uncaring. I too am very hurt, deep down. I feel unappreciated.

Every year up till now, been lovely, this year not so much.

[ny20005]

I feel your pain. Occasions aren't important to my dh & he's honestly not bothered about his birthday or Father's Day.

When Mother's Day was ever mentioned, he'd say that I wasn't his mother. I'm visiting my mum today & my kids have written on cards for her & not wished me a happy Mother's Day (pre teens so not small children)

All stems from dad joking about it I suppose. I've never had a nice Mother's Day with any thought for me but every year it stings

[HowlsMovingBungalow]

My day has been shit too.

Neither of my kids live with me, oldest text me and youngest hasn't been in touch.
OH is out with his mother so I've spent all day on my own getting more and more fucked off with the lack of fucks shown today or any other day tbh.

Thoughts to those not in a happy place today

[rainbowstardrops]

Sending love and hugs to all who are having a crap day.
Here's some virtual flowers, wine, gin and cake for you all x

[Mrskeats]

user what an awful, miserable post. Your poor daughter.
