Extremely disappointed

So in the UK its mother's day I had to find my own gifts and had my partner choose between them to get me some for my first mother's day, the gifts aren't my issue I love them and he chose my favourite 2 of the 5 I picked out What I am disappointed with is our little one woke up at 5am this morning and I asked if he would be the one to get up with him and he did. Once I got up though he complained that he was tired and had only had around 5 hours sleep (he takes ages to fall asleep and is easily woken up and then it takes a while to fall back to sleep) All day long he's been grumpy and in a bad mood with me and with everyone else (except for our little one) He didn't say "Happy mothers day" to me at all and at around 4pm he messaged me to come upstairs (he'd gone for a nap with the baby) and he asked if I was still in a bad mood and I said yes. I went back down and about 20 mins later he sent me a photo of me and the baby edited to say happy first mother's day All day I've been seeing people's SOs post about their partner and talk about how fantastic of a mother they are Am I wrong for just wanting more from him and for wanting a better mood even though he's very tired?

@Molly exactly! You do deserve your own post! A first mother's day is very special and we won't get another one (a first to another child maybe but not as a mum) I wouldn't have been too bothered if it wasn't my first one, I didn't even expect anything amazing just a nice relaxed day spent all together

@Sorocly I'm usually the same but as it was my first mother's day I just wanted it to feel a little more special and not have to deal with a grump all day 😅 Your relationship sounds very healthy and I'm glad you are appreciated everyday as you deserve ❤️

In the same boat today! My partner messaged ‘happy Mother’s Day mum & mol’ in the group chat to me and his mum, I was annoyed because don’t I deserve my own bloody Mother’s Day post?! He then worked in our garden for the day so I basically spent the day on my own with our baby and dog whereas I thought we’d have a family day! Not how I expected my first Mother’s Day to be at all!!

I don’t know… my husband has been ill today and really tired as he barely slept last night. I think it’s more about how you feel in general rather than about the pressure of the one day. But that’s just a personal opinion that I have - I never celebrated Christmas or birthdays or things like that prior to meeting my husband, as it’s just not the done thing in my family. In fact, today was actually Father’s Day for me, as I’m Spanish. Perhaps working in Marketing has made me even more cynical over the years, but I see it as one big con. And don’t get me wrong, I’d be annoyed at hubby if he didn’t do anything, but would be quite satisfied with just a card, as he makes me feel valued and seen and appreciated most other days 😅

No of course not your first Mother’s Day is honestly the most special , you want the recognition for all the sleepless nights and dirty diapers etc. He could’ve done something small and I’m sure it would’ve meant the world some men just really don’t understand what certain things mean to us
