Well then how about those cards that say "to the mother of our children. My wife, my love, my all".
I use to tell my hubby not to give me anything on Mother's Day cause I wasn't his mother but then when I was doing all the work of being a mother and not getting any recnogition for it I told him it would be ok to get me something. Figured it would be the only way I'd ever get anything. Mind you, it wasn't until I really worked hard at being a mother, and step-moms do work hard, that I told him that. Now he gives me flowers and a card.
I give him a card and something for Father's Day cause that's the only way he would get something as well. Two boys in their twenties. Kinda sad but that's the way it is.
Don't mean to turn your thread into a family therapy session flower. You are so sweet organizing these exchanges.
Oh Joanie, tell your hubby he better take your son out to get you a Mother's Day gift right now at this age. How does he think they learn to have appreciation for their parents unless each parent shows them what to do?
