Ladies...did your husband get you something for mothers day?

My husband and I have 3 kids...every year we have a dispute about today. He gets cards from the kids but dosent get anything from him. I get a happy mothers day and that's it. He says I'm not his mother so he sould not get me a card or flowers. I always remembered as a kid my dad got my mom flowers and a card thanking her for be a good mother to us. It kind of hurts my feelings. I already have issues with feeling unappreciated by him. What's your opinion on the matter?

Update:

Ok I like to respond to answers so let me say this to crone ( sorry couldnt remember the whole name lol) but I go above and beyond for him every holiday, his birthday and farthers day...I dont expect alot from him as ive learned not too , but sometimes it just breaks my heart that It seems im not getting the same appreciation in return. There are a lot more issues in the realationship... to many to talk about but thank you for your answers.

Update 2:

and to money men...i dont compare him to my father and never say anything to him about things like that..i was only making an example out of my dad not a comparision.

Update 3:

it doesnt matter what i do...bottom line is he doesnt appreciate me and its probably time for me to move on.

    Not married but I must say THIS was THE BEST Mother's Day I ever had in my entire life as a mother. BTW...my EX husband used to say that to me. I had to remind his dumb azz that not only was I a mother but I was the mother of his children. He is my EX.

    I think if he treated you right the rest of the year today wouldn't be such of a problem.

    You might want to focus not necessarily on how he therefore acts on this day but the rest of the year.

    Sorry if I made you think you have a bigger problem than you did. Its just from what I have noticed you are going to have to have that 'dreaded talk' every guy who falls into the trap of taking their partner for granted sometimes has to endure.

    I hope things work out for you.

    every dad parent i know gets the mother of his children a gift for mothers day (married or not). it shows appreciation for all you do as the MOTHER of his children. you take care of his kids 24/7 and to get you a small gift should not be an issue for any man.

    I think that on Father's Day, every year, you might let him know most sincerely that you are proud and delighted that he is the father of your children. Do something nice for him. Be kind and loving to him. Buy him something. And don't expect anything in return. After a few years of completely unselfish love... he might return it.

    My opinion is that you ought to know your husband by now and you should realize that picking a fight over this every year isn't going to do anything but harm your marriage. Grow up and get over it.

    And p.s. The more you tell him he's doesn't measure up to your father, that more he resents you and the more likely it is that he'll NEVER get you a mother's day present.
