His mother lives with us. Every year for mother’s day, he takes the whole family(me, his mom, our kid(6yrs) and himself) out to eat. Sometimes mother’s day falls at the same time as a local art festival, so we all go to that together as well and overall, it’s generally a good time. I just hate having to share the “gift” of the meal with her. It wouldn’t be so bad if he would do something else in addition to it. Help our kid make me a card, buy a coffee at the festival or something simple like that. I really don’t care what he does, I just want…idk effort? Put into something special just for me? Hell, I wouldn’t care if he bought both me AND his mom the same exact type of candy, as long as we both got our own box. I don’t think I’m tah or would be for telling him so, he’s told me before that he can’t fix things if I don’t tell him, but it wouldn’t be the first time he has reacted negatively to me saying something had me feeling some type of way. I think it’s normal to want to have something special on a day that is meant to be special, not have to share it with someone else. But I guess I could be in the wrong, since he’s definitely not the gift giving type and at least it’s something? Idk if any of this made sense, I’m sun-drained and tired. Well, reddit, AITA for wanting a separate gift from my husband’s mother and WIBTA if I told him so?

Quick edit to say that this happens EVERY year. And this was the first time he made any of the plans on his own, usually I’m the one picking the restaurant and making reservations, figuring out the festival times, etc.

Edit2: guys, I get the confusion. I only have one child, who is six. Not six kids lol
