To think everyone needs to chill the heck out about Mother’s Day?

Not everyone, maybe, but all the women who think it’s basically they’re birthday and feel horribly let down if anything bad happens?

I mean, obviously DP/Hs shouldn’t be dicks. But beyond that… Relax!

@gannett 😊 I agree - oftentimes I have said I will celebrate my birthday on another day . If Mother's day - well that's OK if family are kind to you that is OK by me - a hand drawn card or just a note or a hug or someone making me a cup of tea. Mother's Day does not bother me too much - agree with @mathanxiety

Well then wait until they are old enough to do something.

It is literally as easy as that. My husband has always bought something for his mother and I have had something from our children when they are old enough to make a card at school or do something for themselves.

I have never expected my husband to buy a card for me on behalf of our children.

Nothing to do with ‘expecting’. Some men want and choose to do nice things for the mother of their children on Mother’s Day. Crazy, huh…..

But we're not talking about those people are we? We are talking about the mothers who get themselves worked up and upset when their husbands don't do anything for them. So yes it is to do with "expecting".
