First Mother’s Day

I feel the same way, I hope my husband doesn’t forget. I have been planning what I’m doing for him for Father’s Day for a while 😭 and I’m gonna be so mad if my fears come to fruition

How I’ve been feeling the last few days. I’m trying to hold out for my husband to do something for me with it being my first Mother’s Day, but have a feeling it’s going to be another day and he will remember it was Mother’s Day the next day

My husband didn’t plan a thing for my first Mother’s Day, and he’s usually really good about birthdays / other special occasions. I was so upset and I let him know how I felt. My advice would be to have a conversation with him and let him know your expectations ahead of time so that you leave no room for disappointment.

I guess I’ll just wait to see & go from there . I’ve been expressing my excitement for my first Mother’s Day for an entire year so honestly it’d actually affect our relationship

Do something at least for yourself that you can control babe. We can hope for the best and communicate our needs. But overall do one thing for yourself to celebrate you and mamahood. Even if it’s buying yourself something small or a pedicure. Overall you’ll do something for yourself with love and affection and hopefully your village will celebrate you too 🫶🏼 (coming from a mama whose been disappointed)

Also I find doing a cute craft with your little one is SOOOOOOOOO special.

Have you reminded him it’s coming up? I know most ppl don’t think about it the first time around

I take it you’re in America ? Otherwise I’d have posted you a card but I don’t think it’ll get there in time 🥺

Find yourself someone who makes you feel special everyday not just on Mother’s Day.

If he never makes birthdays/Christmas or other holidays special you already know what to expect. Do not put your hopes up or set yourself up for dissapointment your trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Guys like this suck because they don’t know or want to make someone feel special.

I’m in the same boat my boyfriend doesn’t care about gifts and stuff and in turn thinks that’s why I’m okay with when it’s not my first Christmas as a mom sucked big time I don’t expect anything different this time

Closed mouths don't get fed. If you want something, say it. Don't expect a person who don't find holidays important to suddenly find them important just because it's your first Mother's Day. You didn't partner with the romantic type and that's okay. Just guide him. He's not a mind reader.

Don't leave it up to him to plan. Youre going to be disappointed. Plan your own day, with whatever you want, and his gift to you can be watching the baby while you're out doing momma things

I don't want to be harsh, but if he doesn't do anything special for any other holiday why do you expect him to do it for this one? If you want him to do something you'll need to ask him and tell him what you need him to do. I don't care about celebrations of any day, never get presents from my husband for Christmas or birthdays or anything (neither does he from me), we just don't care about "special days", I do think they're a bit of a scam, like St Valentine's, I rather be loved everyday than have flowers once a year to be honest. We still give each other presents throughout the year if we find something we think the other one might like/need we'll get it, but don't care for specific dates. But yeah, you'll need to ask if you already know he doesn't have the initiative for these things, if you don't, you're setting yourself up for the disappointment and wouldn't really have a right to complain, or get mad at him; you know this man, you know what to expect.
