I would rate it as a bit unusual, but not outrageously so. If I was close to my sister-in-law, I might very well pass a gift on to her. Or likewise for a near and dear friend who happens to be a mother.
EDIT: Typo.
I think so. Unless she is your mother or has been like a surrogate mother then it is strange. Have you noticed that tv/media hypes the fuck out of mothers day but fathers day gets swept under the fucking rug? Maybe I am just being cynical.
Yeah, it really is bad. There was a shirt being sold by Old Navy either last year or the year before that was extra shitty.
No, it's fucking not.
Sometimes fathers give gifts to their spouse, especially if the kid is too young to be able to give a gift.
My impression is that this is relatively common.
I think it's strange. And if a woman's children are too young to give her something, then she has to wait a while.
I know people who refer to their wife as mom/mum, even when the kids aren't around. So maybe I'm the one with the strange opinion.
Your opinion seems to be the majority. The catalyst for my post was because my sister's douche boyfriend was trying to make me look like an ass for not buying both my sister's Mothers Day gifts. I'm like their kids are all tweens, they need to do something for their mom.
I doubt myself at times and appreciate the feedback of unbiased people.
Sister's boyfriend is an asshole for making you feel bad on purpose, ignore him on this occasion.
The kids should definitely do something for their mom. I didn't do a lot for my mom on Mother's Day because I was an asshole kid, but I still should've. My older brother basically enlisted me some years though so we could do something together.
You still could do something, regardless of if the kids do or don't, but I wouldn't look at you in a bad light if you didn't. I don't expect my wife's brother's family to anything for us once we have kids; we don't do anything for them for either Mother's or Father's Day.
I think you're fine. It just depends on the relationship.
I give a gift to my MIL every year, cos she's actually awesome and I love hr to bits.
Depends on the relationship, if it's someone who basically raised you then it's probably just being a good person, hell as long as it's a welcomed act of kindness it's just being a good person.
Also if you're giving a gift to the mother of your young children (before they're old enough to crayon some piece of shit).
