Am I ungrateful for being upset that I'm getting chocolate for Mother's Day?

I honestly think some guys in general are just not as imaginative as us women. The fact that he acknowledges it’s Mother’s Day and at least gets you something (no matter how small) is a good sign, but I know what you mean something with a bit more thought into it would be nice. Maybe drop some subtle hints on what you’d like, maybe he just doesn’t have a clue on what to get x

Tell him you want more. I tell my man to make a booking, anywhere I don’t care where it is just book something so I can get dressed up nice and go out. Some men don’t know, they can’t read our minds and if that upsets you then tell him what you want. I’m very vocal w my needs so he knows what I want when I want it, he knows very early on my expectations for days like that because I’ve told him. You must tell him hun xx I wouldn’t be happy w just chocolates either, I don’t even eat chocolate 💁🏻‍♀️😂

It'll be my first mother's day & by the sound of things, I'm getting the same 🥹 sorry mama💕

I’m not getting anything lol 🤷‍♀️

@Katy is that what he said? 😳🙈

Yup apparently I had something for valentines and Christmas and my birthday is in April we should be saving for our house 🤷‍♀️

It feels ungrateful but i would set the expectation tbh. Its not just this mothers day but do you really want to secretly be let down every single year? Tbh if there is something specific i want i will just tell my SO rather than getting tat or something i dont like

There is still time, tell him today so he can get you or so something you want. Please don't hint. Just be clear - if you are not fussed then atleast give him general guidance like a perfume for a gift, outing, or clothes etc. If he can't afford whatever, at least he knows your expectation, make an effort, and hopefully gets/ does an alternative close to it but cheaper.

@Katy ohh 😩I guess that's okay then? 🙈

There's still time so if it's going to be that upsetting for you then gently let him know now so he has time to plan something on top.

Wait - Mother's Day is May 12th, not this weekend? Also, sometimes men are oblivious to these kinds of things, and definitely don't do well with grasping hints. They need honest and straightforward information. Just he direct with him, and let him know what you want and/or don't want.

@Ashley not everyone on this app is American haha

@Ashley in the uk it’s in march 😁

@Priya Ann 🇬🇾🇬🇧 I didn't realize it was on different days in the UK. Very interesting!

@Ashley it varies across the world!

Men have no idea how to be creative 😂 I’m lucky if I’ll get a card

@Ashley it’s actually Labour Day long weekend here this Sunday for us 😂 and I’m in Australia. Lol

@Ashley it’s funny cuz Father’s Day is the same day as US but not Mother’s Day 🤷🏽‍♀️

Im not getting anything either @Katy

I just bought myself something on my own and told him it was my Mother’s Day gift (new outdoor sofa set from Wayfair that he’ll have to put together). Haha 😂 But if he was getting me chocolate, it’d depend on some variables whether I’d be mad. If it was like “that’s all you deserve” then yeah I’d be so mad. My man isn’t creative and never gets me much, but he always gets a nice card and writes nice things, shows me how much I mean to him with his time. Ya know? Even tho I buy him that personalized stuff like you said you do, and I wish he’d get me stuff like that too, it’s just not how he is. Make sense?

My partner got my son a Mother’s Day sleepsuit, a card and chocolates. It’s my first Mother’s Day also, doesn’t really bother me. But now you’ve got me thinking I need a shopping spree 😂😂

I don’t think I’ll get anything… I was thinking of doing nice things for Father’s Day but I wonder if it’s worth the hassle. My husband genuinely won’t care if I do or don’t, so I might only start doing things when baby is old enough to sort of “care” / contribute to the gift giving? Rather than going above and beyond myself when baby is too young, and then feel upset when I don’t get the same in return? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Emily that seems fair tbh🤷🏾‍♀️

Is he the kind of person that might tell you that to make you think it’s what you’ll get but actually surprise you with something else instead?

I doubt I’ll even get a card! 🥺
