Birthday Idea for a Mom

[mumstheword]

Well I'm gonna pipe in here, even though I am not agreeing or adding anything positive...

I also had a Dad tell me recently that it was his wife's birthday on the Monday. This was on a Friday. He said, to the child, make sure you ask if you can make a birthday card for Mommy at craft time today. This bugged me! First of all, I don't like when parents talk to ME through their child. It's weird and sneaky. Just come out and talk to ME. Secondly, i am not responsible for your wife's birthday card, you have the entire weekend to make one with your daughter yourself. Thirdly, we don't necessarily do a craft every single day. The child was too young to make it anyway so really it would have been ME making it. I do not want to make cards for every Mommy or Daddy's birthday.

I AM a nice person. I do all kinds of really awesome things for my dck's and their families.

And to say that if I don't make someone's wife a birthday card then I'm not much of a caregiver, is ludicrous.

What was the purpose of this thread anyway?...you can't just make a card without suggestions? You don't have enough ideas as a provider? It's a card for crying out loud.
