[quote=Anonymous]1) The baby doesn't feel slighted and will never know

2) Your family and your DH's family have different styles.  You will never change them.  You will only ruin your relationship with your DH if you expect him to nag his family to be more like yours.

3) Mother's Day is a day for children to thank and celebrate their mothers.  Any children who fail to make this day special for their mothers suck, unless they are too young to do this themselves, in which case someone else should step in.

4) Anyone else who acknowledges Mother's Day is going above and beyond, something to be appreciated, not expected.  No one but the child owes a person a card simply for existing in the world and being a mother to another person.  If you send cards to your MIL, your aunts, your DIL's, your cousins who are mothers, other random women who are mothers, well, Hallmark loves you and hopefully those women are touched.  But you are not a better person than those of us who don't view the day as an obligation to thank every woman who pushed a baby out of her vagina, had it removed surgically, adopted, or otherwise became a mother.  The prize for motherhood is having a child.  No one owes you a card every year but your child.[/quote]
