My "boys" 30 and 34 always do something very special for their Dad for his birthday and Father's Day.

Question

It hurts my feelings when I get a card. Am I being oversensitive? We all get along very well.

Answer 1

Maybe they don't know what to do or what you want. It might be easier for them to relate to a guy. Give them a little hint in a humorous way. I bet they don't realize it hurts your feelings.

Answer 2

I have a really hard time relating to your question, since my two son's (27 and 43) never even send me a card or acknowledge Mother's Day (or Father's Day) in any way. They have learned their Fathers' way of simply ignoring holidays completely.

If you "get along very well", then it should be easy for you to simply discuss your feelings with them. They are probably completely in the dark about it.

Answer 3

To avoid hurt feelings next year (for you or them) simply come right out and say, "you know what would be great for mother's day/my birthday?" That way, it will just seem like you just thought of it for the first time. They just may not know what to get you.

Answer 5

yes that is funny but they always seem to do more for the dad. i am not quite sure why. but its same in my family and the hubby is my second not their dad but they do love him and their real dad gets nothing. but its seems always dads get the more of it. i guess cause maybe they work harder and stuff not sure why but that is my guess.

Answer 6

You need to speak up or your husband should tell them. That's just not fair.
