[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not my husbands mother, therefore I don’t expect a gift or card from my husband for Mother’s Day. Yes, I do expect him to encourage the kids to make me a card or help the kids make me breakfast or something along those lines. If he forgot it altogether and didn’t even assist the kids w something I’d be upset. And he should handle getting a card/gift/phone call for his own mother himself without me reminding him. As long as he does that, I’m fine.

I find it odd that so many people expect their husband to go all out buying them jewelry, clothing, etc. for Mother’s Day. That’s weird. If you want a shirt, just buy it yourself.[/quote]

Why would you think it is only to celebrate YOUR mother, and not all mothers?[/quote]

Celebrate them by giving them a shirt they picked out for themselves?

I do think all mothers should be honored by letting them know how loved that are (could be done by writing a card, in person tribute, making breakfast in bed, making a nice dinner, cleaning the house, being kind, whatever other nice gestures) and generally just supporting mothers throughout the year by being loving and equally hard working partners, etc. do I think that means that I should celebrate all mothers by giving them some random token gift like a shirt? No. [/quote]

No problem. Just make sure not to ask your wife what gift she wants you to buy. And if she happens to tell you, just say you have no plans to buy it. Don’t have a wife? Then you just made it that much easier for yourself. Are a wife? Tap into the part or you that realizes that people are different, and what is “random” to you is “normal” to someone else. Different doesn’t equal bad. [/quote]
