should I be exspecting a mother’s day card from my ex

[sheballs]

Iv been split up from my babies daddy for the last 6 months, our kids are 2yrs and 3 yrs old. I was slightly upset that he didn’t get them a card to give me on mother’s day, is it a normal thing to do? Or should I just get over it and come to terms with I won’t receive one until there old enough to get one thereself. Me and there dad still get on ok but he has just got a new girlfriend and things are getting a bit tricky. What do people think, is it bad he didn’t get me one or am I being the silly one ??

I didn't get mothers day card this year and we were still in relationship yeah ok 2 days before mother's day he'd been to see the affair girl on a fake work trip so guess he forgot, I didn't know about affair till the May when we split up. I did get and send him a fathers day and birthday card from our children. Christmas no card or present from him to the CHILDREN!!! So not expecting him to get a birthday for me from the children.
I've given them card and glitter pens.

My children's dad doesnt. But when we were together not only would he not buy me gifts for Christmas/ birthdays/mothers day etc he would also have a tantrum and go out of his way to make sure I have a horrible day. So now i enjoy mothers day and other special events in peace with my children. I dont get presents but I also dont get grief so thats a gift in itself!
As an aside I dont want gifts from my children anyway. Even as adults I would rather they came to see me for a cup if tea rather than got me a gift so I'm not encouraging gift buying from them to me. I appreciate everyone is different.

I wouldn't expect your ex to get birthday or mothers day cards etc.
