Do you get granny's a mother's day present?

[Lavender14]

My sister gets my mum two mother's day gifts, one from her and one from my nieces. I don't get her one from my son as she's not his mother and buy her a gift from myself. She thinks it's unreasonable not to buy grannies a mother's day gift from their gc. What do others think?

Yabu - I buy an additional gift from my child to their granny

Yanbu - I only buy one gift from myself to my mum.

Who thinks it’s unreasonable - your sister or your mum?

And no, I have never bought a Mother’s Day present from GC.

Seems odd. I buy my mother a present, and my mother in law (DH has never bothered, and she's a fabulous grandma, so I get her something).

DD gets me a present (with DH help)

Yes. My kids love choosing or making something for grandma and grandpa on mother and fathers days.

Don’t do it if you don’t want to but I think it’s nice and means a lot to my parents.

We do. My kids make her a card each which she always loves.

Usually a small token from grandchildren and something more from me, my mum is a fantastic grandmother though.

Mother’s Day is for mothers. And it doesn’t require presents for anyone. A card, and maybe a small bunch of flowers is plenty. I really don’t understand why it’s all got so out of hand.

There is an actual grandparents day. It's the first Sunday in October. No I didn't know this - I just googled.

I did a card for my grandparents every year, and a my mother would add a small token "from me" gift in the bag with whatever she'd bought them. Same for fathers day, both grandfathers got a card and gift from my parents and a card and token gift from me.

Turns out my grandmother loved her cards so much she kept them all and I got given a stack after she died. It was nice looking back through at the stuff I'd written over the years.

This is my thinking tbh. It just seems like another day that's become a lot of pressure and expectation.

No. She's not my son's mother.

Nope she’s my granny not my mum (well, not that she’s actually alive any more).

Nope. I get my mum something from me on Mothering Sunday. My DC do something for me.

My mum isn't their mum, she's a bloody brilliant grandma, but she's not their mum. I am.

No, I don’t send my grandma a Mother’s Day present, and I don’t do one from my DC to their grandmothers (or great grandmothers).

Either way is fine.
I was close to my Mum so got her a gift from me and something token from DD, card/flowers sort of thing.
I think you can overthink it. Mothering comes in lots of different guises - a small gift/card isn't really about the cost, it is the thought. If it made someone a little bit happier I would do it. But I don't think that scores should be kept either!

We always made cards & took presents for my nan when I was growing up and I’ve always got my mum & step mum cards/presents from my son (he buys his own now he’s older). They’re fab grandparents.

Neither option because I don't buy a present for anyone for Mother's Day. It's a card occasion, not a gift one. But no, I send my mum a card. I don't send another one from DC. Very odd.

I do, but that's partly because my Mum is a very hands-on grandparent and has my daughter a lot.

My daughter makes my parents beautiful cards for Mother's and Father's Day.
She loves them and they spoil her, so she's forever bringing them stuff.

YANBU but I do get my grandmothers presents as well as my aunt who was like a second mum growing up (no children of her own, not by choice).

Since being with my husband, I have encouraged him to buy for his grandmother too. We are very lucky to still have them with us.

Other than my mum, they are token gifts but I understand why others wouldn't.

I've transitioned my card buying for my mum/MiL to one from the children rather than me/my husband. So yes, they only receive mothers' day greetings from the grandchildren now.

I dont think there is a right or wrong, it depends on circumstances.

I am nana to two, I have always had cards and flowers from them...and I love it.

Yes l get gifts / cards from my Grandsons too.
My daughters bought my Mum ( their Gran the same.). I'm still a Mum just not their Mum but their Mothers Mum.
I think it's normal.
All my family and friends do the same.
Cards say " To Granny on Mothers day".
I love it.

I give both my mum and mil one gift each but me, dh and our son all sign the cards.

We buy the two MIL's a present on Mother's Day

From the children
