So mean and hurtful. He did not teach his children to honor me on that day, but my daughter (oldest) always made sure to give me a card she made in school, etc. Now, they share Mother's Day responsibilities with their stepdad and always spoil me. :)Kaba1016https://www.blogger.com/profile/12917031273947161578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-48092919032303526812021-02-14T15:55:04.139-06:002021-02-14T15:55:04.139-06:00Nothing is a totally acceptable gift.

How about instead teach the children to pick up after themselves and give hugs every night? Mother’s day isn’t the only day one should be celebrated as a mother. I have never once received anything for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day from my kids or husband. Not because they won’t give it, but because I don’t want it. I would rather money and time being spent on less frivolous things that benefit my family as a whole.Chantal Underwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244071045293735298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-89450150218341759162021-01-13T18:27:42.011-06:002021-01-13T18:27:42.011-06:00If my mother got gifts when we were kids, she woul...If my mother got gifts when we were kids, she would say, "I don't want this junk!" and it would be in the trash by the time the day was over.

After years of training, he is great at celebrating Mother's Day for me. But, and I don't know if its because his mother is a narcissist, but I have to remind him to celebrate his mother. He just doesn't want to. He knows better. She isn't evil, just difficult. But she did do a lot of things for her children and was very motherly, in a martyr sort of way. So, I make him celebrate her, even when I don't wanna.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-77576854078985407732020-05-13T11:02:19.780-05:002020-05-13T11:02:19.780-05:00God bless you both.

The other two didn’t bother to do anything. I have decided to take a trip every valentines Day, Birthday, and Mother’s Day to gift myself time away. I made this decision prior to reading this spot on article. Nothing is not acceptable!

Now, about the card and flowers? Kiddo's birthday is a week before MD and she got flowers from her boyfriend, which haven't died yet. So flowers will be later this week and the card is going to read 'You are wonderful.' <br /><br />We still had a good day and it was very low-key. Father's Day will be low key, too.
