[quote=Anonymous]OP, has your DH explained why he isn’t willing to celebrate with you?  If it’s a difficult day for him since he lost his mom AND he’s overall a great husband, I would have some sympathy for him.  Otherwise, I don’t and would do the following:

1. Tell your DD that you would love homemade gifts from them and that they’re the best kind.  That will allow them to honor you, even if their dad isn’t wiling to help.  FWIW, now that two of my three are teens and only the nine year old still makes homemade gifts, I really appreciate the ones I’ve received over the years.

2. Plan a celebration with your DDs next year and every year until they’re old enough to plan it themselves.

3. Stop planning something for Father’s Day for you DH.

4. Take a good look at the state of your marriage and figure out if counseling might help. Failing to celebrate Mother’s Day alone isn’t enough of a reason to go to counseling.  But, what you’re asking your DH to do (honor you in some way on Mother’s Day) isn’t that hard and you’ve told him repeatedly it’s important. That he’s not willing to do that, suggests there are bigger issues.[/quote]
