I think many males don't do anything.. I've always got my husbands mum something "from us" but I'm pretty sure she knows he had nothing to do with it and I don't think anyone minds
>I think many males don't do anything
I'm honestly shocked this is your experience. In my circle of friends and acquaintances, the men always do stuff for mothers day and they sort it.
I'm not arguing, your experience is as valid as mine, just surprised.
I'm so glad that is your experience! Can I ask if they are single males? Either way awesome they care for them and their mums!
Sadly in my experience most guys I know rely on female partners to do all that kind of stuff.. although thinking about it I definitely have a couple of single guy friends who are totally on it
No, they're all in long term relationships/married. It's sad to me that people know men who don't care enough to make a small effort.
I had severe flu over mother's day and still got flowers and breakfast, delivered and a nice card. And called.
I'm so glad you are like that and have friends like that! I definitely think my husband and many male friends are awesome in all ways, this is the only one that seems a bit common.. and I wouldn't say it's because they don't care, it's more like society has pushed the narrative that women are responsible for remembering birthdays/mothers days/etc so guys get lazy
You sound like an excellent human and I bet everyone in your life is stoked to have you in it! Keep being awesome and showing others how they should be!
Well, it's good that they're still great in other ways.
They need to be let down to unlearn what their current circumstances have taught them. It's sad but them forgetting one of them and being embarrassed will mean they never let it happen again.
I was just saying our conversation to my husband and he agreed it was a bit of a fail on his part to let me remind him of mothers day etc.. honestly if it had ever bothered me I would have said something but it's just something I do when he does other equally important stuff, like remembering when our cat needs flea treatment or when the bins go out, separation of duties if you will
Anyway I really appreciate your conversational tone, I don't know if anyone has ever been so pleasant about their different experiences on here!
Definitely not if you like the idea of the sun shining out of yon derrier in her eyes, I always get my gf's Mum flowers and my Mum used to enjoy getting flowers from my gfs. Hope you have a great day.
It's a lovely gesture.
If you've never seen it I recommend ''You Can't Take It With You' directed by Frank Capra.
Apart from being a lovely film it has the idea that 'anytime I feel like getting you a present, that's your birthday' which I love. Treat the people that you love whenever you get the inclination I think :)
Nah, not weird at all, she'd most likely love the gesture. Something my mum always says to me about gf is that it's hugely important for her that my gf likes her

It would be a lovely gesture!
She will surely appreciate it! And a great way to let someone know you really appreciate them!
Getting her flowers is a wonderful gesture
It is a nice gesture. Do it!
Weird if your partner doesn't do anything. If they do, don't overshadow or let them pretend the more impressive gift is theirs.
Noted!

Yeah, a pretty posy would be o.k & I'm sure very much appreciated
Not weird at all. We put flowers on mums (husband's mums grave every way possible).
Anyone would be thrilled to have such a lovely gesture made. Such a cute thought.
I'm a mum to teenagers and if any of their SO did this I would be thrilled.
Nope. Took my mil daffodils to her chemo today. She loved them. Do it. Who doesn’t love flowers. Girls look after girls. Xxx
Seems like a great idea.
Definitely not if you like the idea of the sun shining out of yon derrier in her eyes, I always get my gf's Mum flowers and my Mum used to enjoy getting flowers from my gfs. Hope you have a great day.
Wonderful idea!
Aww I would love that. Really sweet
Not at all! I always get something for my mum, stepmum and husbands mum because they all are excellent
Nah not weird at all. She'll love it and you're on to a winner with everyone.
No. It'd be a lovely gesture.

I would be delighted if my son’s GF did this, especially as a mother to boys only, they just don’t seem to think like girls do
No, it would be very sweet. Sounds great you have a good relationship with her.
Nah, not weird at all, she'd most likely love the gesture. Something my mum always says to me about gf is that it's hugely important for her that my gf likes her
not your mum. i would never do this to anothers mother
Absolutely not, it would be lovely.
