[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - what do your kids do for you? [/quote]

My kids are 5/3/1. The 5 year old will show up with some art or dandelions she picked and it will likely be the one nice part of the day. I hope to not put this pressure on them ever[/quote]

PP with the DH who is bad at gift giving yet good at everything else. My kids are young adults who earn their own money. I am hurt that they either don’t give me anything or buy some afterthought thing from CVS. I put a lot of thought to gifts for everyone in my family. It’s not the monetary cost. Even a nice card would be appreciated. After years of being made to feel like I ruined the holiday and everyone on eggshells around me, I just stay out of the way and smile on the outside while I’m hurting inside. DH usually gets take out or maybe restaurant this year because we’re all vaccinated and I try to be thankful for that and count my blessings. Monday can’t come soon enough because it takes the spotlight off of me to enjoy something I hate.[/quote]

So you get a takeout dinner and a few cards/trinkets from CVS, and that's not good enough? What do you want? ASK DIRECTLY. Tell DH you want Venus et Fleur roses, or a specific perfume, or a massage gift card or whatever.[/quote]
