First mothers day
Show your support
Each family is different but generally no you aren’t supposed to organise it yourself and your children/partner would. However if you have plans with your own mums/families this may be something discussed together. It is sometimes worth reminding partners as if it’s not something they are really aware of or celebrated with their own mums, they may overlook it but it isn’t your responsibility. In terms of plans, me and my husband discussed that Mother’s Day was coming up and knowing we’d have a 5 week old and 21 month old, I stressed that it would be best to do something low key. For us that will look like a pancake breakfast & walk and just spending time together. Similar to most weekends really! Maybe flowers and a glass of wine! Our Mums are in Australia which celebrates in May. My toddler also gave me a handmade card. We don’t do big gifts. Probably will use the day for bigger family day outs in future.
Sometimes it feels like we have to drop hints for them to remember. I am visiting my mum for Sunday dinner with just my two girls so my partner won't be around 💐
He probably just doesn't realise. No you're not meant to organise yourself. We're having a meal out today rather than tomorrow cus I don't want to deal with the crowds with a newborn x
You definitely have to drop a lot of obvious hints!
My fiance has a brain like a sieve bless him so had to remind him - he won’t plan to do anything, he’s just not that sort of person but I did ask him to make sure I got a card from our little one. Best I can hope for really!
