Am I being silly here? Disappointed about Mother's Day

[sadnewmum]

I know that this is a minor issue compared to others on here but - DP just got home from work and gave me my mother's day present. Flowers and a gift card, bought tonight from the petrol station where he works.

He has known about mother's day for ages - I helped sort out the gift he is co-giving with his siblings for HIS mother, so he just had to do something for me.

I am allergic to the flowers. I have put them in a vase in the living room and I am sitting here itching.

I just feel he has 'phoned it in' getting something from his work at the last minute and no thought whatsoever has gone into it. DS is only 6 weeks old so he can't be blamed. Just it is my first mother's day, I thought he would have made a bit more of an effort to do something special for me.

Atthestroke-

Good for you!!!! A nice afternoon with your mum, take away and time with dc- sounds perfect.

You're doing the right thing :) happy Mother's Day x

Thanks mamma X

Good grief, my father buys all presents the day before, if he lived near a petrol station I'm sure he'd get them there.

I'm glad that DH worked somewhere with a poshish gift shop attached or I'd have had shit presents over the last 40 years or so .:)
