Baby items for our baby? Am I being ungrateful to receive baby items our baby needs? Nothing for me…. For the baby!

Aw no that’s crap 😢 sorry op, sending 💐

No thats shit maybe your partner will give you something else tomorrow

princesscallie · 14/03/2026 18:58

No as its not for u. Sending hugs.

Feeling a bit annoyed here too if it helps. My kids didnt bother doing anything (again) so my husband went off and bought me a cheeseboard and cheese. We already have a cheeseboard and the cheese is blue cheese which I dont eat. I haven't eaten cheese in a long time.

Just feeling down as I do so much for them but they couldn't care less. Be fine again tomoro but having a little pity party for myself right now.

Has the baby been born yet?

youalright · 14/03/2026 18:59

Mothers day is tomorrow right?

Mothers day is tomorrow right?

It is. But I got my "present" this evening.

mumofb2 · 14/03/2026 19:08

Yes baby is born! He’s a few months old. Not to mention our older children we have together. I am usually easily pleased but I can’t help but feel annoyed!!! Happy Mother’s Day here is a pack of wipes and baby weaning items !!

for Father’s Day I might get him a pack of nappies and some bibs 🤣🤣

Why has he given you it tonight are you sure you won't get something else tomorrow

sittingonabeach · 14/03/2026 19:10

Does this sum up your general life? Anything happening tomorrow? Is the argument that you are not his mother?

mumofb2 · 14/03/2026 19:11

Oh no. What is with men!! Cheese is so random especially if you don’t like blue cheese. It’s the lack of care isn’t it. Lack of thought !

hopefully you will receive something in the morning. But yeah baby supplies is a slap in the face

sittingonabeach · 14/03/2026 19:15

Why did you get present tonight? Coukd it be a joke present? What is he like for birthdays, Christmas?

Jacobolordy · 14/03/2026 19:17

Definitely return in kind for father's day. He can reap what he sows...

Owly11 · 14/03/2026 19:21

It's not Mother's Day yet so how do you know that's what you're getting?

Brewtiful · 14/03/2026 19:23

Well from your responses it sounds like your partner is a pretty thoughtless individual and you don't seem surprised by the lack of effort.

You must know it's a shit mother's day gift.

I tell him where to stick them.
I was recently with DS and he'd bought a rather expensive steam mop (£140). He actually enjoys cleaning (the mad fool) and was joking he might wrap it up as a gift for DIL. She obviously knew he was joking, but DH piped up that he knew if he even considered any practical present I'd stick it up his arse. He wasn't wrong!
I'm shocked your DH would even consider this a gift, even if it arrived surrounded by flowers and chocolates.

LAX12 · 14/03/2026 19:26

Were they cute items like baby grows or toys? Or wipes and nappies? I think if it were something especially sweet like an outfit with a cute slogan on it etc I’d be happy. But perhaps not nappies 😂

just seen you said it was wipes and weaning items, really?!!!

LAX12 · 14/03/2026 19:28

A friend of mine received a hoover for Christmas from her husband. Some men go brain dead when it comes to gifts…

Lmnop22 · 14/03/2026 19:49

Jesus. The one day meant for us and NOT the kids and you got baby stuff?? I would be pissed off. Also he gave it to you a day early 🫠

mumofb2 · 15/03/2026 10:42

I can confirm .. I got nothing else. Other than a card that said happy Mother’s Day inside it.

happy Mother’s Day everyone!
