Did anyone else not get a Mothers Day present?

[Mosschops30]

and if not are you upset about it. I went away this weekend to see my mum and took dd, ds stayed at home with dh. He didnt get a card in time for when I left so he had to wait for dd to write it when I got home yesterday. I didnt get anything else, dh thinks I'm being materialistic and selfish but I always buy him a fathers day pressie even if its socks.
When I asked him why he said 'you dont deserve one'.
So should I be as angry and upset as I am?

Nothing for me either which would be fine if he hadn't persauded our Ds to give the card he made for me at school to his poxy mother.I also had to cook her and his sister,her husband and his mother lunch.That was after working the night before as well. Now he's sulking because I wasn't welcoming enough

I didn't get anything and am not disappointed. I wouldn't dream of buying anything for my dh for Fathers Day either. I would have liked breakfast in bed, or lunch cooked for me or the washing up done, or something, but I didn't get that either. But mostly, i don't really care.

on sat i had to literally force dp to buy me a cheap card in supermarket which almost caused a fight, not that he wasn't going to buy one but he wanted the excuse the next day to go into town for himself. he then stayed in bed til 4pm yest while i cleaned the house with 14month dd in tow as his dad and sister were coming up last night. when he crawled out he took my dd into town 'to give me a chance to finish the cleaning in peace', thanks! more like to buy himself a video game with the last of our money 'because it's old and the shop won't stock it anymore soon'. eventually got crappy card at 8pm after i made the dinner for everyone.

the most annoying thing is i didn't even want a present, just a break for once

what the f*k with that 'you don't deserve one' comment though? he'd be out on his ass if he tried that! i take it there's more going on than just a crappy mothers day?

I was initially v.v. upset, as it got to 1pm and we had travelled in the car for a couple of hours to my parent's (past many flower sellers with big signs for mother's day, plus I had a pressie for my mum at my feet) and no mention of mother's day / card/ pressie from anyone. Got to me parent's and my dad opened a bottle of bubbly and toasted mother's day. At which point I sadid "well at least someone has wished me "happy mother's day". DH responded 2well I thought dd would make a card at school". (i was particulary upset as I knew dh had ordered flowers for his mum). Anyway when we returned home last night, the neighbour popped over with a huge bunch of flowers that had been delivered whilst we were out, so all's well that end's well

News Flash

Found gift and card on the arm of our sofa this morning after dh had left for work.

Mothers Day was Sunday wasn't it ?

What's that all about then ?

I got nothing. It did bother me. Late on Sunday we were in the car as dh filled up the car with petrol and when he went to pay he was taking ages so I (dimwit that I am) thought he might be getting flowers or chocs but it was just a problem with his credit card.

But we didn't get MIL anything either so I guess at least it was all consistent.

I think they should abolish Mother's Day to spare the feelings of those who get nothing.

No pressie or card here either. I spent 7 hrs of the day in the car stuck in traffic.. a bit sh*t really!

DH 'planned' to get me an Aveda voucher but 'didn't have time'-I am going to get my hair coloured there next wk for the 1st time since ds was born and plan to treat myself generously on his behalf !
Suggest all MNetters who were overlooked do the same !!!
How about-"Darling just borrowing your credit card to get myself a Mothers Day present from net a porter (or wherever) as I know youu were faaar too busy to do it yrself poor love.'
Once they get that bill that should ensure a yearly bouquet and brekkie in bed for a while yet.....

got a card from DS which he made at nursery but spent the weekend in glasgow, so DH was off the hook and took full advantage of it spoiled my mum but got nowt from her too, but she is a total angel the rest of the year and helps me out heaps so i suppose it was only right for it to be her day. not too bothered re lack of present, there's plenty of things that DH does that can piss me off more

well it was my first mothers day, obviously didn't expect dd to write me a card at her age but a card would of been nice.

dp worked untill 3pm i got no card no present and no lie in.

i was very upset and hurt by it, all i wanted was a card.

well i went and bought myself flowers today as dp obviously thought he'd gotten away with not doing anything, suggest you all do the same, cheered me up no end!

Oh Pandagirl & Mosschops, that's so unfair I got beautiful cards, a big box of Thorntons & a bottle of wine courtesy of DH. However a couple of things happened to taint my Mum's Day.
1)My DS 14yrs presented me with an ornament with 'Special Mum' on it. I was so delighted that he'd bought me a specal gift all by himself for the very 1st time. Later on I was a bit gutted when I found out it was actually bought in error by MIL who didn't want to waste it so gave it to DS for me! That sort of took the shine off it as I had been so over the moon. Still at least I got something.
2) DH kindly cooked dinner but his mate arrived unexpectely & DH did him dinner too but they all sat down to eat at the table without me! My dinner was put in the oven to keep warm & they all carried on without me I felt so left out & my tummy was rumbling! I had been looking forward to us all having the special meal together. I had 'words' with DH when his mate had finally gone.I wouldn't have minded if it had been a normal day & I'd never have done that to him if one of my friends had thoughtlessly gate crashed a celebration day.

I only got a card after reminding dh that I am a mum too!!!!!

i didn't get anything, but then ds isn't even 2 yet so wasn't expecting him to have a clue! tbh don't want anything from ex dp, i'm not his mum! went out for a 'mothers' mean with my mum and my gran, it was really tasty!

Me neither - dh kept saying for days, even weeks before how he's thinking of what to get me etc. then Mother's Day came, and - nothing... Asked him, and he said he remembered in the morning when we were in the car going to MIL's but that it was too late and he didn't mentioned it hoping I'd forget too... And that, also, I'm allergic to flowers so... WTF!? Nice diamond ring would have done... LOL
I'd like to say I don't really care, but is he saying I'm not good enough mother - he didn't seem to forget to get anything for his mother!!!
Ah, men!

Understand how you feel. My DH didn't have time to get a card from DD aparently. SO I gave him the one she had made at nursery to give to me!!!! No breadfast in bed or anything. He had to take some photographs in Bath for Uni work so I suggested that DD and I tag along and ended up having a really nice time, did a bit of shopping then all had a meal together. Part of me miffed that HE didn't suggest or do anything, but other part of me pleased that we ended up having a nice time anyway. Just got to release that nothing will be done if left all to DH... Any that includes birthday, valentines etc. He just doesn't get it - ie thinks its all commerical rubbish...

i didnt get anything either but i cant really moan because it was my fault (honestly) dp and dd1 had gone out to get me a pressie on sun am (a bit late i know but dp was having a crap daqy on the sat - stressed about money and work etc so i took the kids out so he could chill out - like he does for me every sat usually) anyway whil;e they were out my work rang and asked me to cover for someone so i had to ring dp to come home so i could have the car and he could have the baby so they didnt have chance to get me anything but he has said he will get me something this weekend. tbh id rather have a day of chilling out than a present.
