Do you feel upset or unappreciated if your Husband doesn't remember Mother's Day or the likes?

Today is mothers day here in Norway, and my husband says 'why bother it's just another day, and another reason to buy chocolate and flowers. I can get you flowers any day, why is it so important now?' Mind you, holidays such as this and Valentine's Day aren't as celebrated as in the states (I am American), but to me that was a little hurtful because it's about appreciation, not flowers and chocolate. What do you think?

Update:

Yea I definitely do things for every holiday. For instance, last Valentine's Day, my daughter and I made sugar cookies and wrote 'Happy Valentine's Day We Love You' in icing using all the cookies. We made him home made cards and everything. He walked in and was like 'Oh, wow thanks' in an unamused tone and when I realized he was empty handed he had a little ***** fit saying Valentine's Day was pointless. I guess it's his culture, but it pisses me off that he has to be that way when he knows it's important to me, regardless if he cares or not.

    i'd be upset as well. my husband and i don't have any kids yet, but he also thinks like your husband when it comes to holidays. especially Christmas. however, he does do special things for me instead of gifts. we don't do he gift thing for valentines or Christmas. we have a romantic night out, or in. we give each other big gifts once a year and call it a birthday gift.

    question, do you do anything for him on fathers day?

    if you don't you can't really be that mad at him, upset yes, but not too much. if you do, then your husband is a butt head.

    but regardless i think he should have at least bought you a card.

    final 12 months replaced into my first mom's Day and that i did not get something from my husband. This 12 months he did not do something the two. He replaced into questioning of you even with the undeniable fact that. He would desire to not have executed it the type you wanted him to do it yet he did something. That has to count quantity for something. i understand precisely the type you experience yet he did attempt. you won't be able to be incorrect with feeling disappointed whether this is a feeling you're having. you will desire to communicate approximately it even with the undeniable fact that. tell him precisely what you instructed us, permit him understand which you have been watching for a cutting-edge. do not feel embarrassment approximately the type you felt or experience. Your husband appears like a descent guy, i'd decrease him a splash slack. Take a deep breathe and seek advice from him.

    My guy is not a shopper. Just isn't. So, when something rolls around, and he's "supposed" to not be empty handed, I just go buy myself what I want, wrap it and put To ____ (me), From _____ (him).

    I always get what I wanted and he doesn't get berrated by family for not coming through.

    He actually thanked me the first christmas that I did this, and it works out fine.

    My gift is when he gets up on his days off and shovels the drive, brushes off the car and warms it up for me to go to work.

    Now that's Love.
