Partner didn’t get me a Mother’s Day gift. AIBU

[bananahammok]

Last Mother’s Day, my partner didn’t get me a present. We talked about it today and I was explaining to him that this upset me. He didn’t get it. To give more context, we both have kids from previous relationships. He got his ex a card (from him, not the kids) but only sent me a WhatsApp message. He knows I wouldn’t get anything from my ex as we have no contact due to dv. Am I being unreasonable?

@TwistedWonder@Stripeyanddotty this is a shared account. My friends and I use it to ask these sorts of questions, nothing to see here.

Last month you started a thread saying you’ve been with your partner 6 months so you wouldn’t have been together last Mother’s Day 🤷‍♀️

Is Mother’s Day not tomorrow?

Well that escalated 🤣

Why does the bf get you a mother's day card? He could encourage your child to draw you a card if old enough and get breakfast in bed.

@YoungSoakthe post says last year.

Of course you do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are the ‘friends’ in the room with us now?

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
but the very next day
you gave it away

Don't start Ouija boarding as well 🤣

Okay. Thanks for all the replies. I was upset but I can understand how that may be unreasonable. Glad to be able to get feedback and thank you to those who saw my point of view

Last Mothers Day
You gave me fuck A
But the very next day
My friends used the name

Are you his mother? I don't get it

I think it depends on how old your kids are. Ie are they old enough to sort out something themselves? Or would they need help? Will their father help them? Perhaps need to remind him to help your kids as your ex won’t.

Either way we don’t bother. I don’t get anything and I don’t care

Next year
To save me from tears
I’ll make up some other nonsense

And there was me thinking you couldn’t improve on perfection

Curtseys 💃🏻

It would be a nice and thoughtful thing for him to do for you given your DC is too young to sort it himself yet and your DC’s dad won’t. But most men aren’t that nice and thoughtful unfortunately.

More likely your mum or a sister if you have them in your life would be the person to sort something out for you on behalf of your DC.

I do think YABU; Mother's Day greetings are for your mother or the mother of your children, not your partner as such. In any case, a Mother's Day gift is a small part of a relationship. How does he treat you in general?

Not sure if this is real or not due to friends sharing an account - never bears of that

but

if true and dd is 4 then yes it would be nice for partner to take her out to a shop and get you card /small pressie

Why would you share an account, it’s not like they are in short supply?

Why do you need a present? Won't a simple wish from your daughter be sufficient? You both can spend the day together doing something nice.

Is your thing Oedipal? Are you one of these 'Come to Mamma' types?
