That sucks LimeSlice. My SIL is discovering this too. She busts a gut getting her kids to arrange gifts, celebrations for their father but he doesn't reciprocate.
My sister gets a little something with my kids for me for my birthday, mother's day, christmas, etc. Helps them choose a little something and DS1 makes things at school too.
This year (it's my 3rd mother's day while seperated) I decided to buy myself a little something for mother's day. New pjs! Hehehe. (Also I just paid preschool fees for my youngest so I say that's a little gift for me cause that's a childfree day per week. Lol)
On sunday we're probably going to go have fish and chips at the beach or something together, just me and my two munchkins. Just have a fun day together laughing and playing. Fingers crossed for nice weather!
Massive hugs.
The first one was the hardest for me. I'm sorry.
LS, I always gave the girls money to buy me something from the school stall for Mothers Day. It never occurred to DH to give them money or for them to ask him.
My attitude was give them the money and hope they bought something decent and not tell me what they bought
I have DH and still gave DD money for the Mothers Day stall and also went and bought something for myself lol ....so please don't feel bad LS, have a beautiful day with your kids...they're the best Mummy's Day present. DH is away for work at the mo, so will see how breakfast pans out...must remember to make sure the smoke alarms are all working.
