- A woman posted this on a carrier thread about a new phone that is coming out.
I already told my husband that he is getting it for me for Mother's Day
The question is why do women expect a Mother's day present from their HUSBAND? He isn't their child and they aren't his mother.
My theory is that women who treat their husband like a child are the ones who expect as Mother's day present. Poor guys.04-26-10 09:27 AMLike 0 - Because that women is the MOTHER of that mans children. There would be no child without her.
Though I do not understand most women, especially ones who expect numerous gifts from men, I would want gifts for Mothers Day.04-26-10 09:43 AMLike 0 -
I wouldn't give my wife anything for Mother's day if she said to me "You're giving me THIS for Mother's day..." Or any holiday for that matter.
I'd be getting her a divorce...Last edited by KillYouWithMyMind; 04-26-10 at 10:15 AM.

It's a day to celebrate YOUR mother, not every heifer that ever popped out a baby.04-26-10 10:12 AMLike 0 - I hope your wife doesn't read this. You be in da dog house.

And I agree with you. If someone told me that I have to get them this or that, I'd be like uhhhh no.
I don't buy gifts for anyone except my nephew. And I only do that once a year.

Why does the mother have "ownership" of the child?04-26-10 11:52 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModIt is an understood principle. Nothing is changing that.
I don't expect anything on Father's Day except from my daughter. I am honestly
annoyed by anything from anyone other than her.
My sisters, nieces, cousins and yes my daughter are mothers and I'll be damned if I send so much
as a card. They are not my mother.04-26-10 11:56 AMLike 0 -

I have no answer. Even the thought of breeding makes me sick to my stomach.

that it would fall to me. But I'd let them pick the present so that it is
meaningful to them and by extension to their mom.
Presents are not valued by who paid for it. They are valued by the thought
behind them.04-26-10 12:21 PMLike 0 - They make mom a present. That's what I did when I was a little one and thats what my kids do (except my teenager who just buys em' now). I've come to realize that gifts manufactured by the child are way more valuable.

It has been my experience that most women NEED to be recognized/appreciated by their spouses.
Men enjoy being appreciated too, but don't demand or expect it the same way.
The flip side to this is that women are more likely to SAY that they appreciate something, and men are less likely.
Old news: Men and women are not the same.04-26-10 12:33 PMLike 0 - At the risk of having an angry mob of women chase me with pitchforks...

I grew up with an immensely needy mother. She needed to hear she was loved and appreciated atleast 10 times a day. If not, she would throw fissy fits like a child.
Luckily, I grew up to be the complete opposite.04-26-10 12:37 PMLike 0 - Since they don't have jobs or any discernible means of income. logic dictates
that it would fall to me. But I'd let them pick the present so that it is
meaningful to them and by extension to their mom.

Tell those toddlers to get a job!
They do have a special value that can't be measured, but really, how many macaroni necklaces does a woman need?Last edited by LazyStarGazer; 04-26-10 at 12:51 PM.

Probably explains our different views on mother/child relationships.04-26-10 12:52 PMLike 0 -
I always wished my mom has been like yours. I also wished she wasn't a drunk/pathological liar/untrustworthy/rotten person. Lol.04-26-10 12:56 PMLike 0 -
