[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It waters down the occasion - it’s meaningless if every aunt gets included. What are we telling the child? Your aunt is just as much a mother as your mother?

The mom is going through a rough time. Only a guy can think this is a good idea to taker her child and make auntie also a Mother’s Day card. Fool[/quote]

Ehhh. I think it’s sweet that OP cares enough about her niece or nephew that it was presumed she’d want their handprint. Only a certain level of family cares enough to be gifted that.

I’m an only child and my DH has a mentally ill sister who is estranged and has no relationship with our kids. I would love if they had an Aunt in their life close enough to receive their handprints. Maybe get a little perspective on what is more important than getting some sort of made up recognition on a made up holiday. [/quote]

Gift it on any day you want but why on Mother’s Day?

Because no one is making toddler handprints on different occasions because of something this petty. I guess brother could have held on them and gifted them a different day (for all we know he gave it to them days later) or maybe they got together at a big family event that day so it made sense to give it to them together.

Acting like this is a sure way to have brother not want to do nice things with the kid going forward. Everyone is going to be walking on egg shells around sister.[/quote]

I didn't actually get it yet.  I took my own kids to see their other grandmother for Mother's Day, so I haven't seen my sister's kids since the holiday.  Someone took Great-Aunt her handprints and took pictures, and my sister saw them and became upset.

But they are definitely Mother's Day themed.  A little poem that ends in "Happy Mother's Day", with handprints on stems so they look like flowers.  [/quote]
