Mother's Day 😬

Um nope. I’d rather not get anything than to get what my MIL got 🤣

I’d be upset bc I’d rather be thought of personally . If he got his mom and I each a thing of flowers I’d at least want our own favorite colors or like cards she loves dogs and I love cats on the front . We r getting my MIL doorables and a case to collect them they r a recent hobby of hers and on Mother’s Day we r taking the kiddos to the zoo my toddler is very excited

Is this like complimentary chips and dip like a standard Mexican restaurant? I guess I'll take some but if you really knew me, you would know that I like the cheese dip and not the salsa. Also light on the salt when it comes to the chips.

My point is, if he knows you, he will get you something special to specifically you. But if you and your mil have a common interest, I can try to understand that. It doesn't sound like this is the case though.

Depends what it is. My husband has taken what I asked for and gotten it for his mom before lol (a massage) and we nuy flowers for my mom and he geta similar ones for me (we have similar taste in flowers) but in general I prefer an outing with my family to any gift.

Moral of the story unless theres a major budget issue and there arent many options (in which case its the thought that counts) I'd only be mad if there was no thought.
Edit to add: my mil lives far away and we typically spend time with my mom the day before so I'm lucky in that
