[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No op your post it nuts. Mother's begging for mother's day gifts this is just so pathetic and thirsty.[/quote]

OP here. When did I say all mothers had to “beg”? (The plural of mothers, by the way is “mothers,” and not “mother’s”—that’s the possessive.)

What I am saying is that, time and again, DCUM turns into a major whinefest every year right before and right after Mother’s Day. So, instead of whining, use your words and talk to your spouse and to your kids about what you want and what you do not want, if it is important to you.[/quote]
I appreciate your attempt, but this will happen again this year and every year. Maybe you should avoid DCUM around Mothers Day if it bothers you.[/quote]

What an asinine comment. if OP's post can help one clueless DH get his stuff together for the day, it was worth it. Maybe YOU should ignore posts that bother you, hmm?[/quote]

But it’s not directed at the men. It’s preemptive scolding for moms. Why not say hey DH you could be planning a nice Mother’s Day right now! Ask your wife what she wants to do! -signed a mom who doesn’t care about Mother’s Day at all and but can handle other people feeling differently [/quote]

Because there are like 5 men on DCUM, silly. I love how you’re telling me to do what you’re saying you shouldn’t have to do—tell men what to do for Mother’s Day! LOLOLOL[/quote]

No I think your tone is incredibly off putting. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with communicating your wants at all (my husband knows I don’t want him to buy me jewelry, I don’t wear it and I feel bad) but framing this as “it’s your fault if you don’t have the day you are hoping for” is just rude and smug. [/quote]

Year #1 of disappointment? No, that’s not on you. That’s not who any of this is about. Year #2, 3, 4, and you’ve never once sat down and made a plan with DH? Yeah. You’re setting him up to fail every time by expecting him to be a mind reader. If you want someone to know that something is important to you, you communicate. And guess what, not everyone even cares about Mother’s Day, so there’s no “of course he should know.” [/quote]

My DH is not a Fuxxing child that I need to "set him up" for anything. He is a grown man who can figure it out. So, no, it would not be "on me."

Men should be able to do a small thing for the mother of their children on Mother's Day. If they don't know, then they ASK. I do not have to lead him by the nose and "help him" not be an idiot.

All of the blaming on the moms here is truly disgusting. No wonder some men are such man babies. [/quote]
