Husband made no effort on Mother's Day

[TheHazelRaven]

Preempted that Mother's Day would just be me getting up with the kids as usual so visited a friend and stayed at hers the night before, husband kept texting and calling asking when I'll be home. Can I not ever just have a lie in. My son made me a lovely card from nursery which I'll treasure forever but I'm a sahm and do everything for everyone in the house, and not once was there a happy Mother's Day. I know social media isn't real but seeing others lovely cards, flowers etc from partners hurts while you don't even get a happy Mother's Day. I said you haven't even wished me a happy Mother's Day, he "if I was home I'd realise there was chocolate and flowers for me" I got home and there wasn't but he was taking the kids out, to go too the shop and get said flowers and chocolate. I feel so deflated? Over the weekend he bought himself some £400 sunglasses? Am I right for feeling this down about it?

I think what op meant was maybe her H could of made the day special little effort that's all, agree some men are useless at this,
I take my Gc out to lunch before birthdays, mothers day, and Xmas so they can choose a little present for either parent come back to mine to wrap it up and write on cards all their own work of course, they still get excited now doing these things and love giving their presents out, honestly I get so much pleasure as do they doing this, so yes I can see why some mums would be hurt, also it's good in install kind/ caring behaviours in our children or partners, and the joy they get is honestly fabulous, mine are now young men and they now plan our days out to do this, and nanny gets to spend quality time making memories with them,
