no I don't think so. I got a mother's day card and a parenting magazine when I was pregnant and I was only about 7 weeks at that stage so I hadn't done the hard yards like you have.

Well i am a mummy and i dont think he hqas even thought about me! I think hes got the idea he doesnt have too because Kylahs not old enough. I pointed out a $9 'I love mum' photo frame in the best buys catalogue, im happy with that. But wishful thinking. I will buy myself something. I really want a coffee cup with Kylahs photo on it. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Totally!! We only found out Harry was on the way about 4 days before Mothers Day, and I kept going on to DH about a pressie but he didn't get me anything, or a card So at Fathers Day (I was still preggers) I got him a cool lil pressie and a card, and then I think he realised and came home that afternoon with a 'Mothers Day' present for me! Hehe. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

I didn't get one when I was pregnant. The best present now would be to sleep in! And breakfast in bed with a good magazine  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well I specifically asked if I was going to get anything for Mother's Day, and got told: "No, you don't qualify yet!"
(for goodness sake, I grew up in a household where the pets gave people presents! i.e. before my sister and I came along, the family dog gave out both Mother's and Father's Day cards and gifts!) -------------

I found out I was pregnant just before Mothers Day last year and DP didn't think it was appropriate to give me anything either. Funny how he was a little upset when Fathers Day came around and I didn't get him anything. -------------

I got DH a fathers day card from the cat (and added Rowan's name)  Yes they do make father's day cards given from your pets.
DH better get me a card at least - he didn't do or say anything when I HAD Rowan and he's been in the dog box about that ever since. -------------

I got a Mothers day pressie when I was pregnant. Chocolates I think but there must have been something else...
I got DH I card & DVD from Bubba for Fathers day, managed to find a 1st Fathers day card and still was pregnant. It was kinda cool and added to the excitement. ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

I'd tell him you want choccie's men just don't get hints
We don't do presents on Mothers/fathers days that person get breakfast in bed or we go out to a cafe their choise. I usually choose to go out unless I remember to get all the stuff for DH to make me eggs benedict and a Mochoccino. (At least my DH is a good cook) ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007
