i think u have every right to be upset, bt as others say men just dont realise, maybe have a quiet word with him and say can we do something nice, like have dinner all together that i dont have to make or something simuler x

Hey, hope you feel better today.

I knew not to get my hopes up when on Saturday DH said, "do I need to get my mum anything for Mother's Day?"......
On the day he forgot, and asked why I was so quiet. Told him what day it was and he had that look of "omg I'm such an idiot". He ran out the room and came back in with a card and pressie, so at least I know he had thought of it before he forgot!!!

Where in the north east are you? I might not be far, I'm on the coast, near Newcastle.

sorry you had a crap day, he probably didnt realise how much it would have meant to you. if its any consolation, i got a card and a frisbee?!?! apparently its for playing outside with the cat . i swear he loves those cats more than me sometimes!

I got nothing!!!! OH's daughter was here and he thought it best not to make a fuss as her mum hates me and would hate it even more if Daughter went home and said they had done anything for me on mothers day. To make it worse he got stuck in work friday so asked me to go out and get her card and prezzie!!!!!

OH's are mostly useless, lol. Dont worry about this year but leave plenty of hints or even book a meal next year and make sure he knows he is paying. xx

I bought my OH's mother a present, and a card and made OH write it out. My mum sent him a text to remind him to get me a card. Did I get anything? NO. Am I cross about it. YES. All I wanted was a card, how difficult is that?

Mine was a bit of a disaster. I had reminded Mr Foo it was mothers day and to get something for his mum as his dad died a couple of months ago so this year of all years he needed to make the effort!

I has spoken before and told him I did expect him to do mothers day. We don't do valentines and some years my birthday has gone by the wayside - he's not big on cards.

So I get up at 7am to give Abby her feed. He was standing in the living room and I went towards him, thinking I'd get a kiss and a "happy mothers day" and he asked me what I wanted. So I was rather annoyed for the day. At about 3 he asked what was wrong and I asked him what day it was. He then said he was going to do something but because I'd been moody all day he decided not to (like I didn't deserve it or sommat!!) We had a barney and he stomped out. I took a bath and he came in sheepishly and said "Start the day again - happy mothers day" and gave me flowers and a card then complained how difficult it was to get anything on the day. As others have said, why not get something when you were on Lewises website getting stuff for your mum! Roll on next year when Abby isn't breastfeeding and I'll get a long lie. To be fair, he did cook breakfast, and steak and chips for tea and did the dishes. I didn't lift a finger all day!

I think the problem with women is they have expectations and expect their blokes to meet them even though they don't know what they are. This is why I stopped doing valentines before I even met my husband!

Have a jokey chat with him and point out that next year you'd like to feel pampered.

I'd be well pissed off too!!!!

I never got anything from amelie on behalf of my OH either. My mum got me a houseplant and some strawberrys from her and she made me a card in nursery OHs are useless.

OK so been thinking and my strategy is to make a huge deal of Father's Day - make him a card from Zara with her handprints and footprints on it, get him a photo mug or something with !I love my Dad!" on it etc etc - hopefully if he sees me making a big deal out of his first ever Fathers day it will guilt trip him a little and make him realise the error of his ways Decided I'm not going to bring it up with him this time as don't want to cause a find so I'll go for a more subtle approach. Though I might start fathers day by fetching him a card and a packet of crisps (his treat equivalent of chocolate buttons ) - then bring out the real presents later

He was asking when Grandmothers day was last week so if he tries to spend £30 on some flowers for grandmothers day for his mum then he is likely to find himself minus a few vital parts of his anatomy
