One thing that H said - he didn't know when Mothers Day was and it was stressing him out that he might have missed it (we had a bad 1st mother's day and he really hurt my feelings, plus his Mom is clearly having a hard time with all this and he doesn't want to let her down) It is this coming Sunday!
This has definitely been on my mind. It is my W's first Mother's Day, so I have been working on the correct approach to it. I picked out a card written from the perspective of her child wishing her a happy first Mother's Day. I feel it will be best to avoid anything directly from me right now that tells her what a special wife she is. I think the same approach from Valentine's is important here.
To make the sentiment count, I decided to do something from our S. Just like the photo mugs, I think this would be a greatly appreciated approach.
I had an idea of what I wanted to do, so I started hunting for examples. I found these cool canvases that I could put our son's handprint on. You can find them on google by searching for "Pearhead Blue Canvas Handprint" to get an idea. I went to the local crafts store and bought all of the supplies to do them myself. I think she would really appreciate a cool memento from our S that she could put on her wall.
My intention will be to allow my W to celebrate and recognize this special day but keep the focus on her and our son. Of course, she will know that everything was from me. I just don't want it to be anything that would cross the boundaries right now.
