i'm getting nothing for mother's day
i know that material things aren't important.
that being said...
i feel it's important to teach children to show people that you care about them. you need to help them plan for days like mother's day, father's day, birthdays, christmas/hannukah.
in passing, i made a comment to dh about taking my son to get me something for mother's day. he looked at me like i have three heads and commented about how it slipped his mind.
money is tight and i don't want a "thing" but the fact that he didn't even think to tell ds to make me a card out of construction paper hurt.
again, don't get me wrong... my son is very affectionate and i don't need more than that, but i did feel sad that dh was so blase'

 Maybe now that you reminded your DH, he'll have DS make you something.

 I'm sorry...men just stink sometimes.
Can you take your son to breakfast in the morning for some mommy and son time.

Re: i'm getting nothing for mother's day
your son probably has something for you that he made or bought in school, they usually have something for the kids for Mothers day.
Maybe your DH is surprising you!
My DS once rode his bike to the flower shop & bought me red roses with his own money for Mothers Day  because I raised him by myself I guess he just knew he had to get me something.
I'm sure your son has something in store for you!

Re: i'm getting nothing for mother's day
I know all too well how you are feeling. I didn't get so much as a card from DH or my boys for Valentine's Day. I was so hurt it felt like I got punched in the gut.
DH realized what a dumba$$ he was and just mentioned last night that he had to do good for tomorrow as he "dropped the ball in February".
I hope your DH will realize that even a nice little message on construction paper or even a napkin goes a long way.

Re: i'm getting nothing for mother's day
I'm sorry your sad. I'm sad because my Dh isn't home to celebrate with me and the kids and my mom lives out of state.
Damm war..
Luckily my son's preschool teacher made a plaster of paris handprint for me and I love it!
I hope you have a nice day tomorrow and are surprised!

Re: i'm getting nothing for mother's day
thanks, everyone!
my son did say that he was going to treat me special, tomorrow... he's scheduled lots of hugs and kisses for me...lol he's cute. i guess that's all that matters, in the end.
i did like the breakfast with my son idea! even if it is only mcdonalds.

Re: i'm getting nothing for mother's day
I completely understand what you are saying. It would upset me greatly too. My DH almost didn't get his mother anything for Mother's Day and I was shocked. Holidays like this were always a big deal in my family. So yesterday 30 minutes before our parents get here I am running out to the mall to get his mother something. Nothing big - but I figure it is the thought that counts.

I dont know how this turned out but if this were me..... I would make such a big deal out of Fathers Day. Have your DS make a card.. Buy him a little something. Have DS bring him breakfast in bed. Think of anything you can to make a big deal... That will fix 'em!!! And I guarantee this will never happen again,!!!!!

Im so sorry!!!
I agree with you completely..as much as it kills me I always make sure my girls have something for their father...(my ex) on father's day..he does the same for me...we agree that it's important to teach them to do such things.

I didn't get anything either... We have zero money for anything that isn't a bill or groceries.
