I have a chilled family. We order great food for all celebrations.  Yup, if it is your day then you get to choose what we will all eat.

We buy stuff we like all the time. Amazon and other stores are always available.  None of us wait for Christmas.

For us celebrating something means spending time with each other.  So I guess we are celebrating the pandemic.

Seriously, aou all need to become a bit more independent and start planning the day you want yourself.

The only time I care to do plan something spectacular is for my kids birthdays and they have grown out of even that. Pre-pandemic, we would call family over for a nice dinner at home (delivery) or go to a restaurant.

Seriously, order some good food and chill.  What is with all of this buy me a card, buy me flowers, buy me chocolates, buy me jewelry business?  Celebrate by doing what you want to do and if you want something for yourself, treat yourself and buy it.

I know. For every special occasion, every year on DCUM, the whiners come out of the woodwork to complain that their relatives and spouses don't appreciate them.

They don't get that they need to appreciate themselves and stop looking for external validation :-)

This is OP and this is not what I am complaining about actually. My spouse appreciates me and I appreciate him. That is a way to write people off when that is really not the issue.

After Mother’s Day I will go back to being exceptionally happy with my family. It was a crappy day before I had kids and now it’s the juxtaposition of it still requiring a lot of emotional energy from me, and receiving little emotional energy directed my way. And that feels bad for a minute, in addition to feeling tired from all the things I do for the people I’m responsible for. And I wish I could just check out. It’s not that deep. It’s just a crappy day to get through. But people are allowed to vent about such things.[/quote]
