Hey! So wanna know if I'm being to harsh on my hubby.
I asked him to plan my first mother's day and im worried that it'll be like most of the things he plans, my big 30 was going and getting apple cider and involved a fight with my mother, my bday and christmas gifts have slowly evolved from new bedding to cheap meijer gifts.
Ive talked to him in the past about it (ex: im allergic to the jewelry at meijers still get a pair of earrings from there) and he tries to do better but definitely not what I feel it should be after 10 years of marriage
I don't have high hopes for mothers day and im not if im just being pessimistic about or if im in the right

We plan our own events so get to do something we actually want to do.

3 choices,
1 set clear expectations in a sit down chat where he is not distracted. Make it clear you will feel unloved if he does not step up
2 plan yourself, he plans his things going forward too
3 return the same effort when it is his turn so you have less resentment about it (this doesnt fix the immediate mothers day problem though but may help long term)

My husband and I tell each other exactly what we want. My birthday is mother’s day weekend, and my aunt will be in town. I told my husband that Saturday and Sunday I want to visit with my family. Then on Monday I told him where I want to go out to eat just us. He’ll pick whatever gift he thinks I’ll like. Usually I give him ideas and he picks one. This works for us and might work for you too.
