Mother's Day angst

[betterchangemynamequick]

AIBU to believe that a lot of arguments and upset would be avoided if people just didn't care about Mother's Day?
Will partner remember? Will they get something from the kids for me? Will it be something I really love that they've put loads of thought into and shows how special I am to them? Will they spend the day with me or want to/be expected to visit MIL? Getting wound up when exes won't swap weekends so mums can have the kids and so on...
Maybe I'm odd in that I give no shits about Mother's Day. DH might remember but probably won't. I probably wouldn't remember except MN is full of threads about it. The kids might have made cards in school but they're off sick so also won't realise. And I couldn't care less.

Good for you. It's the same thing on here every year. The cool mums vs those who find mothers day important. Neither are superior

So your basis is you don't care so it's fine for your partner to make zero effort. But is your partner making zero effort because you don't care or because he's crap?

some people do want a bit of fuss. And that's fine too. I do agree it should be fairly simple though.
