Question for the new moms.

Would you be happy with just a card for Mother's Day?

    Yes. I don't want any big thing but a little recognition would be nice.

    Nope.  But I am very rarely satisfied with what my husband gives me for any occasion, so I should be happy with anything.   I'm a b!tch.  :(

    I don't expect a brass band parade or an extravagant gift, but a card and a little something thoughtful for my first mother's day would be appreciated very much.

    I'd be happy wtih a hand-made card from my kids.  But just a store-bought card?  No.  DH has always made sure that my MDs are special for me.  I've never been let down.

    So really, my greediness is HIS fault.  ;)

    I'll own it.  For first Mother's Day, no.  I want a little more recognition than "oh sh!t, I'll swing by Walgreens and fire something off"

    I think DD is still a little young for making a MD card ;)

    no. along the line of what LS said - it doesn't need to be something extravagant - but a card and something thoughtful would be nice. DK is generally very good at giving gifts, so i'm sure he'll think of something - if he remembers. We'll be OOT, so the whole getting ready for vacation thing (realistically the hockey playoffs) may have him saying "i didn't have time to shop!" (THAT will piss me off more than anything...)

    Pretty much. But we're on a spending freeze, too, so, you know, whatever.  I certainly expect not to have to cook that day.

    I'm not big on big gifts for these things. And I'm on the fence on flowers. I love them, but they are such a waste of money, you know?  So yeah, just some acknowledgement from H in a "Thanks for being a good mom to my kids" kind of way. In my world, this means a day off from kids. :)

    Not from H, no. I expect to be taken out for a meal or a movie or something fun. And I expect not to have to plan it! Though I do have to remind him of that every year: "Take MD off, and make sure you call BFF and arrange something to do, so my BFF and I don't have to. And don't you dare leave us with the kids," - which is something that happens at every other get together. Godson isn't old enough to be unsupervised like Bacon is, and the husbands will disappear outside or into the garage or something and leave us to watch the kids and cook dinner. 

    I don't want to plan it, and I don't want to mother, but I want more than a card.

    Yes, but only because he expects recognition on Father's Day. 

    I've gotten some really nice gifts from him.  DH is a good gift giver, when he remembers to get me something.

    I didn't get a b-day present this year and he got a great one (Colts tickets). I'm still a little bitter.  He's been shopping for MD already.  So we'll see.
