Would you be upset if your husband bought you the same gift as he got for his mother for Mother’s Day? And this was my first Mother’s Day.

Depends on what the gift is, I guess

What did you get? Mothers day & fathers day gifts can be quite generic. I frequently buy my husband & my dad similar things. My eldest chose them a teddy bear each one year😅

Depends tbh, my hubby has given me gifts, seen how much I love it so then gifted his mum the same thing on several occasions. She and I have so many identical things now it’s hilarious but I don’t mind xx

His mom and I are similar, so probably wouldn’t bother me, u lea sit was generic like lotion or something that’s definitely not me.

No because we also have a lunch w his Mum and then he takes me out separately for a dinner just us so for me, the gift isn’t the only thing he’s giving, I’m more looking forward to the date night. He knows I wanna go out and eat more than the gift itself

No I don't care because he does so much on a regular basis....

Nope. He buys great gifts and he has two mothers in his life to celebrate, his own mother and the mother of his kids.

feel even more ungrateful reading these comments. I think it didn’t help because I asked him to not get anything with my face because I’m very very self conscious and I don’t like displaying my face anywhere. He ended up still getting a mug with my face on it and it was a picture of me PP, not washed in days, not brushed my hair and wearing dirty PJs. Ik he means well and tries but it was my first Mother’s Day, won’t get that back and it was something I did say I didn’t want.

Sending hugs🤗 To be fair, I'd not appreciate a gift like that either esp a few months post partum. It seems like the gift itself isn't the issue, its the choice of photograph on the mug.

Your emotions about the gift are valid, so please do not feel guilty because of what a bunch of strangers commented on the internet.

So it sounds like the issue is less that he got you the same gift as his mother and more that he disregarded your explicit wishes about what you would have liked to be gifted.

was disheartened by both actually.

That's fair. If you had to pick one to focus on if you want to talk to him about it, which one would it be?
