My husband does not acknowledge me on Mother's Day & we only exchange cards on birthdays--mostly just "homemade" ones. I'm with whoever said it is over-commercialized. Don't you feel like a pawn of Hallmark or something to feel you must celebrate these artificial holidays?

It's nice to be acknowledged for your contribution to the family, but I actually do prefer just the day-to-day expression of his love & commitment--like he comes home to me (not always a fun time, there) & supports me with no complaints. We have some good laughs about our lives. That's enough for me.-Suzy
