Mother’s Day. (UK)

Your not overreacting you deserve to get what you give out and feel appreciated and loved Xx

I could have written this myself. I even saw my other half dump the card in the food shopping trolly yesterday while we were out 😂🙄 🙈

I think you can put too much hope in other person. Like my husband never does something like this because he is just not that kind of person. 🤷‍♀️ 😊

Social media is evil I try and steer clear on days like today! I would be upset if I was you! Im upset (not that I've told them) my kids didn't get me cards. I've not even had the words happy mother's day spoken to me (two teens and a pre-teen alongside 1 year old) my eldest has been a madam and stomping and shouting all day too. I buy my youngest childs dad (separated) a card and small token gift every special occasion and yet never get even a text on any for me. I'd say be the same and do it back to see how they like it but I'm just not built that way 😏 x

I’m the same! So disappointed I didn’t even get a card! I would of been happy with that. Your not overreacting lovely just remember your the best mum you could possibly be and you don’t need Mother’s Day to remind you how much of an amazing mother you are ♥️

Last year my partner didnt do anything but some flowers. I never even got a picture taken with my baby. I told him how i felt about it and what I expect. I told him what i grew up with and what I expect. He was so understanding and apologetic. This year has been much different. Hes put effort in and ive had a lovely day. I think sometimes we expect of others what we do for them. But not everyone is like us. Sometimes we need to speak up about what we want. Maybe try speak to him about it, explain your feelings etc. Sorry you didn't have a good one but Happy Mothers Day 💕

Thank you so much everyone for your lovely words❤️ I didn’t even get a picture taken so I took my own with my little one and I tried to make it the best day possible. Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mummy’s 🥰

Don't worry girl I'm exactly the same I got nothing at all. My boy made me a hand made card and I loved it but I've been like a maid today x

Oh men can be useless at stuff like this can't they! I don't care if that is sexist. It's true. Mine did get a card and a gift for me from my son but I always remind him constantly that mothers day is coming up. Without the nagging I don't reckon he'd be so organised. My sister was a little disappointed this year too. It definitely does seem to be something men struggle with! You aren't alone!

Also... People who have to put everything on social media to boast make me feel like they're not really that happy. Why tell the world? It's often the ones that make their life look perfect are actually not very happy at all..

I feel the same. My older kids were with their dad for the weekend, so on the Friday before school they gave me a card, flowers and chocolate, OH put our 1 year olds name in there too. Sunday I got up and it was just like any other day. I think he thought that his job was done and it didn't even enter his head that maybe I'd at least like to acknowledge the day or do something nice. I always make so much effort for him from all of the kids, but he was more interested in making sure his ex had a card and gifts etc from their son and forgot I even existed. I've deactivated all my social media because seeing men put on lovely posts saying how much they love/appreciate their partners honestly was crushing me. He ended up going to bed with the hump because he said I'd been moody all day. Didn't occur to him for a single second that maybe I was hurt!
