If you are in a relationship with someone who has children, do you buy them gifts or do something special for him/her for Mother's/Father's Day? Or do you reserve that holiday for your parents or the actual parent of your children?
I never did anything for my wife on Mothers Day because she was not the mother of my child back then. Saying a simple "Happy Mothers Day" was the extent of what I would do for her, same as I would treat any other mothers I knew. Even though we were married and her son would be with us 3 days of the week, I didnt think it appropriate for me to do anything for her for mothers day and she agreed.
I dont think that because you are in a relationship with someone who has kids, it means you should do something for them for Mothers Day. That is something that should be reserved for the father of the child and the child. Not the boyfriend or new husband (step father). Thats just how I look at it.
Yes they should buy you something after all his the biggest kid in the house. We do their cooking, cleaning , washing , ironing, plan their Drs appointments, the list goes on. So too bloody right we deserve recognition on Mother's Day ...... but like the last post I got " why should I your not my mother ".... so I hope he remembers that when I tell him he do all his own stuff from now on. After all I'm not his mother! Also I hope he remembers he will no longer get anything from me on Father's Day as His not my FATHER.
I only buy flowers and a gift for my parents. I receive nothing as my children do not have funds to go shopping. I buy myself a gift just as I do at Christmas time.

I disagree. Especially if the father of the child is an idiot and they are not on friendly terms. If you live with the child, you should take it upon yourself to help the child buy a card or small flower to present to the mom (your gf/wife).
I personally would want my SO celebrate Mother's Day with me since my kid is too young, and my ex won't. I'd celebrate Father's Day with my SO if he had kids, or if we're married (he'll be my kid's step dad). A card, some flowers or breakfast in bed would be nice.
What I don't like is that some shops started to wish happy mother's/father's day. Parents could be dead, kids could be dead and someone could crave to have a family but cannot have it. I find it thoughtless and a rude habit.
What I really enjoy in these Mother's Day/Father's Day scenarios is how threads from 5/3/2010 can be resurrected nearly 7 years later and still get mileage.
I wish I had tires that rode and wore this smooth over time.
