Miss Manners: Husband needs to teach his sons to celebrate their mom

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Yet another Mother’s Day and birthday have come and gone with no gift from my husband. What’s worse, to me, is that he has done nothing to show our two little boys how to acknowledge Mommy on any special occasion.

I am a strong, secure, educated, independent middle-aged woman, not some teenaged girl looking for attention from a boyfriend. But I am NOT happy with the example he is setting for them in this regard. Of course, being entirely insensitive, he believes that I am completely ridiculous, and just flips out on those rare times that I dare to share my feelings.

Your husband may well not appreciate it; there are people who find such holidays silly and distastefully commercialized. That is fine, but it does not excuse his disregarding your feelings.
