Oh, it's ok. And in some ways I really agree with you on the over-commercialization of holidays like Mother's Day.

But like I said originally - I don't want a huge gift, or even anything slightly expensive. ALL I really wanted was for him to acknowledge the day, say "Happy Mother's Day" to me, and MAYBE get me a small card or some kind of craft made by my daughter.

I don't want a diamond necklace...just a little something to show that he remembered the day and was thinking about me.

I suppose I could have asked him for flowers. But to me, asking for flowers just defeats the purpose. I don't want the flowers - I want the thought that goes into buying the flowers. Does that make any sense at all? If I wanted flowers so bad, I could go to the store and buy some myself.
