[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No op your post it nuts. Mother's begging for mother's day gifts this is just so pathetic and thirsty.[/quote]

OP here. When did I say all mothers had to “beg”? (The plural of mothers, by the way is “mothers,” and not “mother’s”—that’s the possessive.)

What I am saying is that, time and again, DCUM turns into a major whinefest every year right before and right after Mother’s Day. So, instead of whining, use your words and talk to your spouse and to your kids about what you want and what you do not want, if it is important to you.[/quote]
I appreciate your attempt, but this will happen again this year and every year. Maybe you should avoid DCUM around Mothers Day if it bothers you.[/quote]

What an asinine comment. if OP's post can help one clueless DH get his stuff together for the day, it was worth it. Maybe YOU should ignore posts that bother you, hmm?[/quote]

But it’s not directed at the men. It’s preemptive scolding for moms. Why not say hey DH you could be planning a nice Mother’s Day right now! Ask your wife what she wants to do! -signed a mom who doesn’t care about Mother’s Day at all and but can handle other people feeling differently [/quote]

Because there are like 5 men on DCUM, silly. I love how you’re telling me to do what you’re saying you shouldn’t have to do—tell men what to do for Mother’s Day! LOLOLOL[/quote]

No I think your tone is incredibly off putting. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with communicating your wants at all (my husband knows I don’t want him to buy me jewelry, I don’t wear it and I feel bad) but framing this as “it’s your fault if you don’t have the day you are hoping for” is just rude and smug.
