[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the flowers and firm "I am staying put" is warranted this year, with a new baby.

I am re-posting, however, with some changes, something I wrote in another thread.

Maybe it won't work for everybody, but this is what works for us.

We celebrate our roles as parents and spouses on our anniversary.

We each get a day off for parenting every five or six weeks or so. This way, we ALWAYS feel valued and rested.

While our parents are still alive, we celebrate them on Mother's and Father's day.  ( Generally because their mothers are dead)

Our child is old enough now to do Mother's Day and Father's Day stuff for us on his own, which is great. But until he was able to facilitate that, we just let the day go for ourselves.

When our own parents die, we will probably take back the days for us.[/quote]

This might not happen until you're in your 60s. And by that time your kids will have babies and want to celebrate it with their babies. Why not just celebrate mothers day with your kids when they're young and then later on celebrate it with your parents again until they die? [/quote]
