Dh and Mothers Day

PinkTulips2004 · May 2011

My DH wont tell me Happy Mother's Day because I am not his mom. My feelings are kind of hurt because I am a mom, the mother of his child. Its not like I asking for a huge party or even a present. But to hear it would be nice. T has no idea that its Mothers day or even what it means he is still to little. My questions is...Did your DH say it to you? Am I being a baby about this??

I am technically not a mom yet, but I have heard it today from several friends, even our neighbor (60 year old MAN) but DH has not said a word. Huh?

It could be hormones, but I am a little disappointed.

I would be very upset and I don't think its unreasonable at all. I am so thankful that my DH does recognize it and even though we don't have a child at home with us he realizes what this day is and how hard it is for me. Do you celebrate Fathers Day? I have to say that the mean side of me would ignore the day.

That is crazy. When you say he "won't," you mean it has been brought up and he just refuses? Or does he somehow just forget? To me, you are every bit as important as his mom b/c you made him a dad. Adam definitely said it to me, bought a gift, card, etc. As I suspect he'll do until every year, even after the girls do it themselves. I am actually not that big on these types of holidays, he is much more thoughtful than I am, but I'd be mad if he didn't say a single thing.

Ditto all this. I'd be upset, especially bc dd can't do anything yet for it so dh buys gifts, cards, etc for her and gives them to me.

I would definitely be upset! DH is out of town, but went to the foresight of buying my present early and giving it to me last weekend just so he could see me open it. He also got up early this morning (5:30 his time) to call me before church just to wish me Happy Mother's Day.

I totally agree with what All-His said about you making him a dad and that being so very important.

I think that's a really jerky thing to do. Not to mention disrespectful in my book. It's not his mother's day (with an apostrophe s), it's Mothers' Day (with an s apostrophe) meaning it's a day for ALL mothers to be celebrated. I'll come kick him in the shins for you if you want. Wink

Agree! I'm so sorry to hear and feel bad for you because you deserve to be recognized! My BIL even gave me a card this year and last year - I'm not his mom, but he recognizes that it is a day for all mothers.
