Mothers day card

[pastapestofor6]

I am not sure if I am being unreasonable or not, here is the story

I am an only child, parents are fantastic grandparents to my 4 children, the love them so much, take them on holiday every summer , disneyland paris every year ect ect
today my daughter (10) came out of school with a beautiful handmade mothers day card, she tried to show it to me so I told her to save it for sunday so it wouldn't spoil my surprise, she replied 'oh don't worry mum it's not for you it's for Nanny'. AIBU to be a bit hurt or am I just being silly ?

Aww

YANBU but I think it is quite normal for kids to idolise their GPs if they have good ones and make a fuss of them.

Its mothers day, not grandmothers day so YANBU. Poor you, I would have felt a bit hurt aswell.

YAB(a bit)U...she's only 10 so there is no way she's deliberately out to hurt your feelings. I'm sure she has something equally lovely for you too.

Aww bless you.

YANBU.

My 4yo old made me a card in preschool and wrote "POO" in it if that makes you feel better .

YANBU.

That is really odd. And very hurtful. Poor you.

I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you. Are you the sort of person who generally makes quite a fuss of Mothers' Day?

Yanbu in the least. I would be gutted myself. I love how close my boys are to my parents but I am sometimes overlooked in little sentiments such as this. My DS2 (18mths) will walk past me to my Dad at the moment and my heart flips a little at this but I know its as I am taken for granted.

I'm still his Mam and its me he comes to when he's dog tired/ill/upset mostly.

I am sure to she had no intention of hurting my feelings, she is a lovely kind girl, it just stung a little you know, Brahms we don't make a fuss at all really, just as they are getting older I thought maybe they would take te initiative to do something by themselves ...haha wishful thinking perhaps

I only asked bc maybe she thinks you're not bothered about M Day - have you ever said something like 'Oh it's all commercialised etc'? bc that might make her think you're not interested and maybe nanny would be more excited about a card..

I see your point Brahms, maybe she dosen't realise as we have never played up the whole mothers day thing, oh well theres always next year !

smallships pastapestofor6 Are you sure she hasn't made one for you as well and hidden it?

YANBU to be upset though

Maybe next year you can say 'Ooh are you going to make me a mother's day card? Can't wait to see it'. That way she knows it will make you happy. I think children want to know that they will be 'rewarded' when they do something for you. A couple of years ago, I asked my dad what he wanted for his birthday and he was all 'Bah, nothing I don't care about birthdays' so I got him nothing and he was upset.
