To be annoyed at lack of effort on Mother’s Day?

Hi MN,
I’m a SAHM to a 2 year old. DH works hard and I completely appreciate what he does for us. However, I’m a little annoyed that he’s barely acknowledged Mother’s Day. Brought me in some flowers and chocolate last night but today he’s just been quiet and not even acknowledged the day. All I’ve had is half hearted “what do you want to do”
Hasn’t even told DD it’s Mother’s Day, couldn’t be bothered to write a card. I know “I’m not his mother” but I do everything - all childcare, housework, nursery stuff, cooking, organising days out/holidays. AIBU for expecting a little more effort?

You do this because it’s your job. Unpaid. But this literally is your job.

Wrong.
Just because her husband works out of the house doesn’t absolve him of ALL household responsibilities and planning.

It’s not 1951.
