So apparently Mother's Day = Wife's Day, and I have to waste more money

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Bask in my glory! My wife asked me last night what I wanted for Mother's Day.

...and you told her you wanted surprise buttsex, right?

This is why I am glad that I haven't taken the plunge into marriage yet.

LOL @ Burnitdown's comment.

Let's see... lifer who has been here for 6 years. There should be way more than enough information here to track you down.

So, what are you getting *me* for mother's day, such that I don't call your wife and give her a link to this thread.

hahahah i'd be VERY impressed if you could track down who I am, even with mod powers!

She's very well of my views on Mother's Day. As I said, I didn't get her anything the first year because I was confused as to why I was supposed to get my wife a gift for Mother's day!

I got in trouble the first year because I didn't get anything. Then last year I got just flowers and of course she got butthurt.

What do I get her for Wife's Day?

edit: hah, yes we have kids

Nothing. She isn't your mother. After a few years she will get the picture.

Just make sure she gets something from the kids.

hehe. I just went to cvs.com and picked out 4 pics from FB of the kids and now i have 20 $12.99 photo card.

Tell her to shut it until something pops out from between her legs. She doesn't get a holiday just for being married.

She's the mother of your kids and you couldn't figure that out?

 

[Nintendesert]

The real question here is why hasn't she divorced your cheap ass yet.

 

[gorcorps]

You kick that golddigger to the curb that's what

When my kids were little, I always bought my wife mother's day gifts. As the kids got older, I made them use their allowance money to buy mother's day cards/gifts. Now that the kids are grown, I no longer have to buy her mother's day anything. She's not my mom...it's the kids responsibility to buy stuff for their mom. I don't expect anything from her on father's day either...I'm not her dad.

It's a fake holiday manufactured by jewelers, florists, card makers etc. What else is new. That's why they have the big bucks and laugh at us peons who don't have their own islands. No way to get out of it.

As an aside, here's an interesting article on where your flowers will come from.

Wow, not surprised, but that's a great read.

This a.m. she mentions some crap about spending the day together. Family time. WTH?

 

[HydroSqueegee]

What's Valentine's Day and Anniversary for??

Exactly, she's the mother of my KIDS, but not my mother. The KIDS should celebrate their mother.

you, sir, are a dipshit. when the kids are little its your responsibility to make sure the kids get her something. you dont give her crap.

 

[ichy]

Thank god I'm not married.

 

[bignateyk]

What does she get you for fathers day?

We're not big on gifts across my whole extended family. We usually just go out to eat at a nice restaurant to celebrate birthdays, mothers/fathers day, etc...

Guess that's 2 of us.

 

[TwiceOver]

If you have kids, then she's a mother. You may not be the father, but she's more than likely the mother.

Get her a massage.

You should be thankful you don't have to do Christmas or her birthday in addition to those.

Today is Mother's Day.
So what did you get her?

I gave in and bought her a $100 kitchen knife she's been talking about along with the photo card from cvs.

Not bad...
At least she didn't ask you for something useless like a $500 camcorder that most people only use once and forget about.

I ordered $~60 worth of flowers from Proflowers, bought her a $4 Hallmark card, and gave her one of several $100 AMEX gift cards I have stashed up.
I suck at shopping for people and hate doing scavenger hunts which is why I stick to gift cards, flowers, and Hallmark...My mother expects the same things from me Mother's day, her Birthday, and Christmas. She doesn't seem to mind either.
