This year, I haven't mentioned anything to husband about mothers day. I am sick to death of him only buying something the night before that I decided to keep quiet and see if he remembers. My boys might remember because of things they are doing at school and I know that I run the risk of not getting anything but I get really annoyed that I have to remember everything and I plan weeks (if not months) ahead for the occasions and all he has to do is to sort something out for me. I have already got something for his mother and mine died years ago.

All I ask for mothers day is for my 2 boys to get along and us have a fairly peaceful day. I know I won't get it though - oh, and a card would be lovely.

I know how you feel Alison, I usually remind my husband about Valentines day but didnt this year. I got a bar of chocolate from the corner shop as he walked home from work. Nice thought but I would have preferred more thought/effort. Am I being ungrateful? I know he knows its mothers day this Sunday and I will get a cup of tea and toast in bed and him and the kids will have gone out and got me some flowers but I resent that he always makes an effort when the kids are involved but when its Valentines day its minimum if that!

ah but isn't it moneysaving to have a hubby who doesn't splash out on commercial days? lol!

i'd be happy to forget valentines day to be honest, hubby is lovely to me all year round and makes an effort for my birthday and our wedding anniversary, that's much more special than valentines day slush. on mothers day i expect him to remember his own mother but all i need is the card my son makes me at school :-)
