[QUOTE="buddy, post: 531656, member: 12886"] Stressed, that breaks my heart. My dad would never let us get away without doing something for my mom on mother's day. He is a card kind of guy and even though they are divorced now, I do not remember ever not having mother's day plans. I want to come and smack your husband. Have you ever straight up sat down and calmly said (even before mother's day) that every year your heart breaks on Mother's day. It is the worst day of the year for you because you are ignored and discounted this way? What would they do? Is it just habit for them? Do you hide your feelings or do they know you are suffering like this? We should not have to ask to be appreciated when the media lets everyone know what day it is. Every store you go into makes it clear. Maybe go into the kitchen and make a big deal out of husband's cooking....OH my gosh! after all this time you finally are making me a mother's day meal, I am so happy!!! Thanks honey... (act dumb and see what he does???)... ok not really right to play games like that but I admit it would be fun to imagine how he would handle it. At least difficult child had the thought, uggg. Has she ever heard of paper/markers etc. to make a card? What doesn't register to me is I had fun doing this kind of thing, still do. I love to look for the right card and to figure out a fun way to say thanks to my mom. My nieces and nephews want all of us to see what they made for their mom when we come over. It is just frustrating that so many of us have not so much as a hug and I love you on mother's day from our immediate family. [/QUOTE]
