Well am I?
To put it into context, I don't think they should look to us on Father's Day either...but in truth few men seem to. In general, it's us women who hold stock by these things.
It is very nice to feel appreciated. I understand that. But Mother's Day is about appreciating your mother surely?
I can also relate to having your dh take the opportunity to let you know he appreciates you as a mother, but expectations of how elaborately he expresses this seem to be high and getting higher.
Give them a break. Your turn will come. Your grown up children will come and spend time with you on Mother's Day.
If your dh puts out for his own mum, then he's doing alright. That's what we like to see.
Your turn will come.
I wish everyone a good day tomorrow. Personally, I will be getting homemade cards and breakfast in bed, then dh and I are leaving the kids with dh's aunt, and going out to pick up some craft materials and have lunch out. He will be popping round his mum's later with a gift and a posy. No hassle, no stress.
Remember, if someone doesn't know that they are being tested, they are never going to pass.
Perspective is a good thing. xxx
