How would YOU feel if your HUBBY didn't say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY?

Question

Would you feel kind of forgotten about and kind of mad or not care about it? My hubby thinks it's just another day and it's kind of rude. He didn't say happy mother's day before leaving to work. He knows it's mother's day I had just talked to him yesterday about it. I am not looking for a diamond necklace or anything like that just a simple happy mother's day would do.

Answer 1

I would be offended, assuming you have kids lol. You may not be his mother but its respectful to be thankful to you, the MOTHER of HIS kids on this day. And the simple fact that this day is important to you, should make it important to him. That's the bottom line. Whether or not he thinks its just a day, doesnt matter. He should have made the simple effort of saying happy mother's day and meaning it.



Happy Mommy's Day :)

Answer 2

I hear ya, he could of a least said Happy Mother's Day to you. Being a Mom is a special task in our life and it should be commended. He should realize this. He is acting so self centred and shouldn't be this way towards you. When Fathers Day comes give him the same treatment, see how he feels. Two wrongs don't make a right but maybe he will think about his ignorance. I wish you a Very Happy Mothers Day, hope this makes you feel special because you are. Cocoa

Answer 3

I'm right there with you. My hubby didn't tell me either and I'm kinda hurt. I'm a stay at home mom to our 3 kids and it would just be nice to be acknowledged on mothers day. I have never not told him happy fathers day and told him that I appreciate him being a great dad to our kids. Happy Mother's Day I hope he will surprise you later!

Answer 4

Don't let it bother you. That's just one more reason to show that women are the best! We don't whine and cry when things don't go our way. Just take it in stride and carry on the reputation that women-especially moms - are stronger. Just remember Father's Day is next month... *wink*...Return the favor.! I guarantee he'll want some kind of recognition. Wish HIM Happy Mother's Day-'cause he sounds like a "mother..." to me- LOL

Answer 5

He might have just forgot. Men don't seem to be really good at remembering stuff like that. If its part of a pattern of neglecting birthdays and anniversary's then I would be getting pissed. But if not cut him some slack. The day isn't over. If he doesn't say anything after he gets home mention something about it and give him a chance to say it and apologize for forgetting.

Answer 6

It would have been nice of him to mention it, especially since he must know it's important to you. However, I suspect he didn't do it out of a sense of perverse backwardness, given that you talked to him about it yesterday. Nobody wants to feel like they're being given a script. Talk to him about holidays and how they're important to you...but NOT on a holiday or right before one. Make it a calm discussion, not an accusation.

Answer 7

Yeah, it would be really upsetting! My husband said it and offered to get flowers or have breakfast but, I wanted to stay in. We only have puppies (which we call babies and refer to me as Mommie). It made me feel special so I don't know why your husband would go out of his way to be especially rude to you.



I guess you'll have to show him how a woman should be treated...go out and buy yourself some jewelry and hire a sitter when you go out to the spa.



So sorry about your day! I hope you have a happy mother's day!!



Good luck!

Answer 8

I'm in the same boat. I've actually had to wait on him since he woke up. He got to sleep in while I took care of our 3 kids, changing diapers making breakfast and cleaning the house, folding laundry. When do we get a break? My kids aren't old enough to tell me and appreciate me, so I'm kinda screwed.

Answer 9

I'd be pissed but some men think that their wives are not their mothers. I think a husband should recognize Mother's Day for his wife if she is the mother of his children. She may not be his mother but she is still a mother.

Answer 10

When Father's Day comes along pretend you forgot. If he mentions it say "oh I didn't know I forgot" and keep it moving. Or maybe he could be planning to surprise you later on when he gets off.

Answer 11

I'd be kind of mad, especially if he knew it was Mother's day and decided to just not acknowledge you at all. What a jerk!

Answer 12

Perhaps he'll say it later on. Maybe he has a surprise for you. And wants you to think he forgot.

Answer 13

A little obsessive don't you think. Maybe he forgot or maybe you are too much of a narcissist. In any event, have a happy mother’s day.

Answer 14

I don't care. It's just another made up holliday so stores can sell you **** you don't need. And another way for women to be pissed off at men for something stupid.

Answer 15

You are not his mother, and it is not your anniversary, sure you won't look for a diamond necklace or whatsoever.



He is your HUBBY, you said it yourself -- are you kidding me? He should say it to his mom.



I forgot to say it to my mom myself. You are overreacting.

Answer 16

Eh! why would he? you're not his mother.
