My husband did buy me anything for Mothers day (money and time are not an issure)?

I feel that since he pays the bills he didnt feel the need of doing anything else for me. Am I overreacting? He got up a 6:00 in the morning and told me that he had tried to buy me some flowers but when he got there around 5pm, they were all gone. Again he had all day, all week to do this. No card, nothing at all.

tell him tommorow when he comes home from work and you didn't cook dinner that you had to take care of the children and you didn't think there was any need to do anything else since you worked so hard...and you went to the grocery store at so and so time and they ran out of meat so you couldn't cook dinner... by the way happy mothers day....
Reply:i am sorry to hear that i work retail and we never run out of flowers i mean never so i don't know that i would belive that excuse about running out of flowers we still have some now on mothers day at 10:30pm so i am guessing he forgot i am sorry
Reply:Hey, my husband didn't even get me flowers on our wedding day. His reasoning? I can just go buy whatever I want. While that is true, and I like what I purchase better than what he would get for me, he doesn't GRASP the thoughtful gesture thing. It's a guy thing. Well, at least your guy tried.
Reply:Well...are you his mother? There is so much hype with this Mothers Day. Are you a mother? I think you are over reacting, are you sure there is not something else here, do you not feel loved?
Reply:hey welcome to the club. i didnt get anything either. i did get a home made card though.I had taken out all the materials to make my mother in law a card and he just used those. i mean honestly, mothers day had been going on for years and he says we dont have any money. but we had money last week to buy him beer and to pay for other stuff, but now there is no money. now fathers day is coming up and I had planned to start to save to buy him a jersey with his name on it , but i think i might need a manicure instead!

I guess i am happy to not be the only one hating this day.
Reply:Your not his mother so why should he have to? I mean it would be diff if it was your anniversary or something
Reply:my husband did not do anything either! I bought him a welder last year and i only got nothing. I even made him breakfest this morning! all I wanted was a dandelion or something say "you know I appreciate you" that would have been fine for me.
Reply:Well....your not his mother.

Did you kids do anything for you?
Reply:Is this typical of him? If not, have there been problems lately? It's not the idea of cost but if you have children together, I would think that he should have at least gotten a card. Is it possible that he may want to surprise you? Does he have a mother and, if so, did he do anything for her? I can't say what's in his heart but you may want to discuss it once you're calm (if your upset right now, this could turn into an argument if he feels cornered).
Reply:are you his mother? why does he feel the need to get you something for mother's day?
Reply:One detail you're missing...are you a mom? No mention of the kids.
Reply:16 month old baby?



Is it possible that he's overwhelmed with the whole being a dad thing? Like maybe reminding himslef that you're a mom is too raw for him cuz he's questiioning being a dad?



The first 16 months were the hardest for us (she's 23 months now).



My first mother's day our daughter BIT my husband so i spent the dday trying to get my child to stop screaming cuz she was terrified at how he screamed (she bit HARD and accidentally cuz she was past her nap time).



Then today... the entire morning was on the road goign between 2 airports and playing with my kid the rest of the time. No card. No balloons. He did put my plate in the dishwasher though, so I guess I'll take that.



It just not important to him, i guess. Real life is less like the Hallmark commercial ?
Reply:really sounds like you're acting childish/greedy. yes, it's nice to get something for mothers day, but some people just don't celebrate days like others do. maybe he's not really into the little celebration days. maybe he couldn't find the right thing for you. maybe he's just flat out trying to tell you something.
