Not only is it Mother's Day, but also my mother's birthday. His mother's birthday was last week. I thought of the present, bought it, planned a dinner for her, ordered it, and bought the cake. She wanted to celebrate with her 98-year-old mother today. I did the same thing for my mother today. He vacuumed before my parents came over, grilled the steaks and salmon, and helped clean up after dinner. That is it.
I show up for all my stepkids' performances, games, and school events. I plan their birthday parties and buy all their presents. The same goes for Christmas. I remind him of all of these events.
Hardly anything happened for me today. Two of my kids said, 'Happy Mother's Day.' My 11-year-old stepdaughter also said it and gave me a very cute jar of all the things she loves about me. My 16-year-old son told me the present he bought me won't come until tomorrow. My 13-year-old daughter told me that she asked my husband by text to help her with several things, and he never responded. When she had asked me what I wanted, I told her updated pictures for my office, knowing it wouldn't be expensive to just print some of our favorite photos, and it would mean a lot to me.
