DH said "your gift is on the computer." When I went to the computer he had pulled up a PDF of a spa gift certificate he had gotten for a client for christmas. The client was not allowed to accept it, so he told me I could have it -- back in December. The same gift certificate, made out the client with a message to the client, was my mothers' day gift. Lovely.
(PS I don't give a shit if the gift cost money -- a picture the kids made/flowers/chocolate/a small thought would have done the trick. The tiniest amount of effort would have worked.) |

| Maybe you can give him a 50 cent off coupon for razors out of the Sunday paper for his Father's Day gift. |

| did you remind him he had given it to you back in December? Why would he give that to a client anyway? Sounds strange. Did you ask him why he couldn't even bother to change the message? You're right you did get a sucky gift. |

| No offense, but I stop having patience for people whose husbands treat them like crap and they don't seem to do anything to actually improve the way they are treated. OP, please tell me you had a long conversation with your husband about how insensitive this "gift" was. If so, I'm sure you will have received some resolution. If not, I'm sure the issue is more than receiving a crappy gift, but having a husband who is such a bonehead or jerk he doesn't even acknowledge he GAVE a crappy gift. In either case, you would not be posting about the gift, which as you know isn't the issue. |

You all realize things like Mother's Day, Valentine's Day etc are a load of crap created to people will spend money on flowers and other unnecessary items?
Getting upset over stuff like this is simply petty. |

Rewrap whatever you gave him for Christmas, and give that to him next month. Or better yet, don't even wrap it, just take a picture of it, email it to him and tell his gift is on the computer.
I'm sorry OP. Hope the rest of your day goes better. Happy Mother's Day. |

| That award actually goes to my cat who brought me a dead rat mom and rat baby while my husband is out with the kids. Very lovely. |

OMG, the OP's husband did not treat her like crap. Mother's Day is just a made-up holiday. |

| At least you got a gift! Next year, I'm making my own plans which will include a spa day for me and any of my GFs who also got shorted. I know I'm not alone. |

OP, accept your gift and then regift it to him on father's day which is just around the corner  Next mother's day make the expectation very clear, long time in advance of what gift would make you happy (one that shows effort.....)

| All of the regifting suggestions will not work because we all know that most men do not give a rat's baby's ass about most holidays. OP, I have said it before and I will say it again: MAKE IT BURN. Go out and buy yourself exactly what you want, a gift so luxurious and expensive that DH will gnash his teeth just thinking about it. |
