Would You Buy Your Girlfriend a Gift for Mother's Day?

My wife expects me to get her a Mother's Day gift for her from our six month old. I told her, "You're not my mother." She claims that I have to do this until my daugther is old enough to make her own. I told her I can get some fingerpaints, put my daughter's hands in them, and she'll "make her something".

you know if you hadn't made a scene about it the fingerpaints probably would have been a big hit.

It is estrogen fueled concepts like this that go a long way toward explaining why women go to the bathroom in numbers.

That said, my wife is now a mom. Crap. I wonder what I'll be buying for her "from" our two month old. I can't even remember mother's day for my own mother.

Just get her something in the same price range as the Father's Day gift she bought you last year.

The title alone made me completely cringe. This may be one of the few things more full of crap than "we're pregnant," and maybe even more pussified.

Seriously, this has psycho written all over it.

I'd write off a woman who's never had a kid expecting a gift on mother's day as first of all psycho, second of all manipulative, and third of poking needle holes in your condoms while you're in the bathroom and fishing your condoms out of the wastebasket later.

Thankfully, this is her psycho friend saying this, so maybe your girlfriend isn't a total mental case.

If you buy her a mother's day gift and she's never even had a kid -- much less YOUR kid -- you are in a sorry state indeed, my friend.

P.S. getting gifts for mothers of FRIENDS is retarded. They're not your mom. WTF man. I've really liked the mothers of some people I knew a lot, but never bought them a mother's day gift. That would feel inappropriate and just creepy.

Screw Hallmark and all its evil minions. Enough is enough.

Buy a gift for her mother if you're buying gifts for your buddies' mothers.

I'm guessing she's pregnant and just hasn't told you yet. Congratulations.

I predict she will be soon. Unless this is entirely the nutcase friend's doing.

I'm actually still going to do this. However, I left out the part of the conversation, where she was suggesting exactly what she wanted (jewelry with daughter's birthstone in it) before I made the comment.

Framed picture and cheesy card is standard.

i got my friend's mom a mother's day gift once, but it was only because she was hot and all my friends used to flirt with her to drive her son crazy.

We have 800 pictures already. I'm thinking a facial.
Edit: A facial at a spa, not the spoogetorium.
