[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it is inherently right or wrong, deserving or underserving to exchange gifts or cards for these parent holidays. It depends on what the spouse values.

If you or your partner values a receiving on of a personal card and/or a gift, then communicate that and it is lovely as the other partner to make that happen for your loved one. This goes beyond gift giving. There are small things, and sometimes big things, that are important to us, and that if we make it known to our spouse, it is an act of love to us when they do it.

OP, I posted before. If you’ve made your wishes explicitly clear to your husband, and you’ve delivered the information in a way that has landed well with him and he continues to disregard your wishes then I’m sorry. That stinks and your feelings and disappointment are valid. I will echo what I said earlier about enjoying the day with yourself and your kids, and also halting the compensation on your in laws side when it comes to your husbands lack of gift giving and flower delivering.

If you haven’t told him it means a lot to you and why, then do consider letting him know.

The thing with love is that we don’t have to agree with each other’s preferred ways of receiving love to be able to give it. That’s the great thing about other people’s values. As partners in life we don’t have to agree with each other all the time to give each other love.[/quote]
