Did your partner do well for Mother’s Day?

He got me some cute things and some tacky things 😂 he did a good job for someone who never buys gifts and leaves it to his family to buy presents for him!

My husband has the memory of a sieve so I bought my own necklace with his card (I did let him know before hand) and he took our daughter to the shops to get me a gift last week (some Lego flowers). I have to literally screenshot gifts for him to remember but he delivers ☺️ he’s just mr last minute in everything

mine was working from 8:30am - 9:30pm. he works long hours so i try to give him breathing space and rest but he had a day off on friday he could have at least picked up a card 🤣🤣🤣 he is aware and does feel bad, but i’m trying my best not to be slightly sad because he was working allll day lol

My partner got us a spa day together and then a personalised book for me from our son and - so he did do well! I do feel like they’ve either got it or they don’t - my partner has always been very thoughtful but some men just aren’t (I don’t personally think it’s a valid excuse and they need to step up) but unfortunately I don’t think they change 🙃

I got flowers, a card and a few knickknacks. I would have been happy with a card tbh

He got me a necklace with our daughter’s name on it, some flowers, a card and we went out for food. I’ve been spoilt! And no. It is not stupid of you. He needs to step up bc if he doesn’t, you will get bored of him eventually

Last I checked mothers day hasn’t happened this year. What are ya’ll complaining about already?

@Samantha it was mothers day in the UK today. It’s on different days in different countries.

@Samantha different in each country babes

My daughter made me a card at school and she made one at home with her dad and he wrote what she asked for inside it, was very cute, one thing she said was “you are my special love heart” 😭 I got woken up in bed to my daughter coming in with flowers and pancakes for all 3 of us to eat in bed together. Was lovely! I only ever ask for a handmade card from my daughter too. Not fussed by anything else x

My partner got me a card from the dog and a card from our bump and spent the day with me. I don’t need/want gifts, for me it’s about us spending our time together, we went on a 6 miles walk in the sunshine and it was perfect. Gifts get forgotten about, making memories doesn’t x

I would have been happy with a card and chocs but Instead he got me a car to learn to drive in (I did this for him too afue years ago)

I reminded him weeks ago and told him I would be upset if he forgot. He was working 7am-8pm so I literally just wanted a card from my LG (it’s my 1st Mother’s Day) …. I got a good morning/goodbye kiss and a happy Mother’s Day, no card. He could tell I was not best pleased when he came home from work. Today he returned with a very large bouquet of flowers. I’m a twat and I’m sorry flowers.

Separate card each from him and my toddler, he helped her write her name which was adorable, a box of my fave chocs, a family dog walk where we always go and a roast made by him… the best part is he washed up!!! Little things are sometimes the best 🤍

Thanks ladies. Feel less insane now. I’m not really bothered about gifts, just wanted something handmade by my little one. He was given a month’s notice, was reminded on several occasions and works part-time to care for our son (while I work full-time) so had countless opportunities.

I got a mug with photos from different stages of my daughters first year on it. I'm going to take it to work with me so I can stare at her face while I work

@Katie him working all day is a poor excuse, such thing require advance planning and surely he knows when mothers day is and can get a gift a month ahead if he really wanted ...

@Lena i’ve thought that too but he also lost his mother a few years ago and still struggles on days like mother’s day so i try to keep that in mind too 🥹 - to add as well, when we’ve been shopping before i became a mum and we would look at the mother’s day stuff he would go quiet and just look very uncomfortable, i should have realised it’s a bit harder for him than me :(
