There is nothing wrong with wanting a card and wanting to hear your dh say “happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for what you do.”
Dh asked me this week, what do you want to do for Mother’s Day. I’ve learned to get over disappointment that he’s not a cook breakfast in bed or gift giver or craft project maker with the kids. He asked what I wanted, I told him.

I’m not going to feel bad about wanting that, asking for it, and subsequently feeling disappointed that I didn’t get it.

You are making yourself unhappy for it though. I get where you’re coming from and understand the frustration. But don’t lose your day to falling into a pit of resentment.

This is why Father's Day should come before Mother's Day in the calendar. Not the other way around. Moms would do a better job of remembering and setting expectations

Lol.
Waiting for "did you gain weight" post now.

I had no idea Mother’s Day was supposed to be between spouses.

You need to divorce him and start the process by tomorrow if he doesn’t give you anything.

Do you gaslight everyone you know or only strangers who don't know who you are?

OP, I am not into holidays but I would be upset. I got breakfast, a card and hugs from the kids. It's the thought that counts but it counts!

Np here. Please do not use terms you do not understand. Pp is not gaslighting pp.

Op asked to have the morning to herself and sleep in. Her husband gave her that. She's now pouting in the bathroom because she got what she asked for instead of being woken up with songs and cards.
She also asked for family time later which will probably happen.

She also had dinner date on Friday and for beome reason thinks the married years with two small kids should be easy.

Pp was being nice when calling op dramatic.
What op is is immature and her behavior is gross.

And frankly it's disturbing that you and others think this kind of behavior is appropriate for an adult

Kiddo snuggle bombed me this morning and made a card at school. Has been drawing pictures for me all morning.

Also he’s helping me take a long solo weekend away next month. Today is less loaded because we have figured out how to make others special too.

Not cosigning BS and immature behavior just because the poster is a woman does not make us mean.

I grew up with an immature mother like op her behavior wasn't appreciated then when zi was 5 years old and it's not now . The only difference is I can avoid her

Do op if you want to see your kids regularly when they're adults it's time to give up the tantrums.

It's developmentally appropriate for your toddlers to tantrum not you.

i told mine, you don't need to get me anything, i ordered something. i would rather have something i want than some overpriced flowers.

I told him (after previous holidays anniversaries of being disappointed of no card/feeling special) th at at minimum I want a card. A card is very meaningful to me.
He was diligent about it after I brought it up
Marriage been challenging the last couple years. The last few weeks have been positive, had a nice date and quality time together Friday.
I told him I wanted to have me time this morning, and then family time in afternoon.

So you got your mee time and you're whining about a card. And no morning songs from your toddlers ..
You need to grow up and get a freaking grip.

Geez. Go do something nice for yourself. Alone! He can take care of your kids today. Do not snap, cry and whine about another day of the year.

Some of you are SO MEAN
