Don't Mother's Day Gifts


STOP

Honestly, the only reason to get her college football paraphernalia is if she’s a die-hard. Otherwise … OMG … just don’t. I get that the company is trying to latch onto anything to make a sale, but good god man – STOP! This is all a man would need to see to somehow convince himself that he now knows exactly what to get the woman who pushed his three kids out of her VAGINA. Trust me, if you want to survive … you better think beyond the college football tee.

I’m not saying you can NEVER buy her a cute college football tee, just not for Mother’s Day.

Let me break it down for those men who are trying to justify the purchase in their head …

acceptable

It is acceptable for a side gift. It is acceptable if she is accompanying you to a football game. It is acceptable if she sets her alarm clock on Saturday morning so she doesn’t miss Game Day.

not even close

It is NOT acceptable if you’re hoping this will entice her into liking football. It is NOT acceptable because it’s a gift you would love to receive. It won’t make it any better if you tell her she’ll look hot in it.

    To me, Mother’s Day is not about my husband getting me a gift. The sentiment should come from the children whether its a home-made card or picture, a sweet flower, breakfast in bed or foot massage. It should be a day in which they take the time to just let their mom know how much she means to them in their own personal way! 
    Now birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas…whole other story!

    Yes, but it is up to a Dad/Husband to teach the children how to honor their Mother;  it starts with appropriate gift giving and model behavior!  My first Mothers Day I got nothing because my husband said he is not my mother.  Obviously we’ve worked on that and that was 18 yrs ago!  Now the kids spend the whole weekend making me feel special.  I am very spoiled but grateful.

    I agree – I think it’s up to the father/husband to teach the children. Once they reach a certain age – it’s up to them. Until then it’s nice for the father/husband to take the child something – even if it is small.
