You misunderstood the whole thing. Did he not give you this for Mother’s Day? Just thank him he tried and I think he did great .

You should be greatful he actually made an effort. I can’t believe your bitching about the gifts. Maybe this is why he doesn’t buy you gifts.
I would give anything to receive one more gift from my late husband even goofy corny gifts.
Appreciate the thought and effort.

Just tell him how sweet it is that he gave you so many gifts and you really appreciate them. Keep the rest of your thoughts for you and just pray for him. Men sometimes have “weird taste” when it comes to buying gifts. Remember THE THOUGHT to give you a gift mat all should be appreciated

Stop being so fucking ungrateful! Your child may have chose the sloth pjs , or perhaps they look comfy , the film you said you mentioned once - be amazed he remembered! … some people get nothing! You said you usually get nothing so be happy he’s gone out his way to get you stuff this time, say thank you and appreciate it.

I got a card (even that has been inconsistent over the years!) but I don’t doubt for a second that my husband loves and appreciates me. It’s not about gifts, if you wanted something just ask! or do like most of us do, buy it for yourself - don’t wait for a special occasion. Men have no clue what’s ‘cute’ or thoughtful. He probably went to T.J.maxx the night before and picked up whatever they had left. Men have no feminine intuition, they need to be told what to buy specifically. Don’t take any of this personally.

God forbid you ask for advice…who cares what everybody else thinks because they don’t know you or your situation or how he is to you on a daily basis… And when a man makes the insinuation that he thinks you’re lazy and then gives you some sloth jammies I can see how you can make that connection but he could also be oblivious and thought they were just cute… just talk to him about it stop asking dumb people on Facebook for advice cuz I did it a long time ago cuz all these women will do is shut you down and then tell you to leave him for sometimes no reason I got rid of most mom groups cuz they’re nothing but drama…

If you’re going to overthink it, you may as well go the whole hog. He probably bought you soft pyjamas because you’re way too soft and too sensitive. The movie was ruined by Jared Leto just like you ruined his life. And it was all given to you in a shopping bag because he thinks you’re a whinging old bag.
You’re bitching about gifts!! No wonder he bought you nothing for the last few years. He should go back to that!

This is coming from a man who hasn’t made an effort for Mother’s Day until now. Someone who clearly isn’t great with gifts but tried his best to make some what of an effort. I do think your over thinking it and it’s defo better then getting nothing for another year in a row. As for him moaning about you not keeping up with house work is this an occurring thing where he constantly tells you or is it recent? Sometimes people say things in jest to reflect there own stress but it’s usually short lived. If your that upset say something but don’t be shocked if he tells you your over reacting. If I’d received something for the first time in what felt like a life time I’d take it for all that its was worth and be happy. Unless there is more to this which we don’t know about.
Its highly likely that the 7 year old helped to pick the items to a certain degree, sorry to the guys here but men arent good with clothing for woman so I will put money on him asking the son “Which ones shall we get mum?”
Another thing and before anyone Jumps on the im sexist train ask any guy and they will tell you its true, men dont think that bloody much about buying an item to hint at something else like a sloth meaning laziness, you guys know what i mean xD
It sounds like the both of you need to communicate better.
Don’t just stuff it down, talk to your partner. No one can read minds.
Be grateful you got anything cos your a bit of b*%$# by the sounds of it. I don’t think your partner will look at you the same if he read this. Next mothers days you might find yourself alone
You complained he never does anything for you than when he does you flip out that it’s not good enough? It sounds like he remembered you mentioned that specific movie and if you just said it so you could spend time together than that’s all that matters is you have it and can now watch it together. I don’t think the sloths were a shot at you being lazy, they are what’s popular right now. I would have been appreciative that he’s now putting in the effort you wanted before. As everyone saying be grateful I didn’t get anything , I don’t think it’s right to compare but everyone deserves to feel special once in awhile if your man doesn’t do that for you you need to reevaluate things .
Or just be thankful that he got you something period. Many got nothing, not even a Happy Mother’s Day.

It sounds like you’re just being super ungrateful and reading too much into things. He bought you gifts. He said happy Mother’s Day. Be happy. Be grateful. And THANK HIM. You did absolutely nothing but bash every single one his gifts he gave you. For a man to remember a movie you said you wanted to watch with him ONE time says a lot about him. You being hateful towards him for that says more about you than him.
Maybe your child picked them? My step daughter picked and brought her mum socks for Christmas that had a sloth and the words slow ho on them 
I thought that was gold.
So maybe it was purely an accident or child’s choice as cute/fluffy animal pjs?
I doubt he was trying to say that? I think you’re thinking way to much into it

God get over your damn self. You know why there was a sloth on a pair of PYJAMAS?! Because sloths are slow and sleepy. Don’t forget…they are on a pair of PYJAMAS!! You know…the things you sleep in? Be glad they’re soft! Be glad he did anything at all for your ungrateful self. How happy your child would have been giving you something on what’s suppose to be a special day between you and him. NOT you and your partner!
Next year I hope he gets you a booklet of daily inspirational positivity quotes!

That’s a serious reach. Sloths are super popular and a lot of people find them endearing, and you don’t know if your son picked them out. You sound super ungrateful, he obviously made the effort, especially when you say that he’s not done it in the past.
Sloths are all in and cute but I see how it would bother you. But not look as lazy just relaxing 
my first 2 mother’s day I got nothing… The past 2 with my fiances they got me socks, PJs and a generic basket.
Even though I don’t want cartoons he thought it was cute and my 2 year old helped pick the socks and stuffed animal…
Maybe your son thought you liked that stuff? Maybe be grateful you got heartfelt gifts… He remembers watching the movie with you or type of PJs you enjoy
I’d just be glad he got you something. It’s the thought that counts and you never know you’re child may have picked the gifts for you not you’re husband.

Wow, people are being super aggressive with you. While your husband did make an effort and I agree that sloths are kind of on trend at the moment I don’t think it is unreasonable for you to feel disappointed that your husband doesn’t seem to know what you like or made much of an effort to find out. I think men get a free pass for doing the bare minimum. Most woman I know will go above and beyond to find out and get something that is really meaningful for their partner. So while I agree that I think it may be a reach that he was calling you lazy, it sounds like there may be deeper issues at hand causing you to feel the way you do. Sorry you didn’t get much support in this forum.
Maybe he took your son out and he picked it out! A gift is a gift

Maybe your child helped pick it up. Or he sucks at gift giving but was trying to be thoughtful by picking stuff you have mentioned in the past?? Dont hurt to ask. Communication is key to a healthy, successful relationship.
I can understand why you must feel the way you do and possibly just need to speak to hubby about the situation. Tell him thank you 
for the gifts and next time around send him things you would like. I agree the pjs might just be a stretch on the sloth 
side I mean they are cute and maybe there wasn’t anything else that they could find. For the next time just say hay get me just blue or green ones if there’s only sloths. I used to find it hard that maybe hubby doesn’t understand me if he can’t shop for me but this year I’ve sent him a whole heap of different ideas for him of what to get and I got just what I wanted and had the absolute best day!!!
Hubby always mentions about me not making dinner and “why can’t I cook etc” and has often hurt my feelings over it… I honestly didn’t cook cause everything I suggested to cook wouldn’t be healthy enough for him or he couldn’t take it in to work the next day so he would complain so I just make the food and say hey either I cook what I know and you be happy with it or cook your own food mate lol! it’s not being lazy it’s just trying to make both people happy…
Think off a sloth as an animal that can teach us to rest and relax and be grateful.
Men don’t really think about why they do things! He was just trying to be thoughtful!
Nobody gets it right every time. Accept that they’re gifts and say thank you.

You seriously don’t like sloths? They are chilled and really cool creatures.

Wear the pajamas while watching the movie. Your choice if you want to be upset. If he wants the house to look different, better, cleaner, guess what ? The broom handle and the vacuum cleaner wand will fit nicely in his hand as well. Housework is part of being a grown-up, a parent, and a homeowner.
I would feel the same way as you. When my husband was “in love” with me (it came and went in between girlfriends), he would buy me beautiful and thoughtful pieces of jewelry; however, when he was not “in love” with me (as in he was getting ready to move out again), he would buy me the ugliest clothes you can imagine – I would just put them in the Good Will bag. I didn’t even try to talk to him about at that point because I knew in his head he was already out the door. As for your gift, I would talk to your husband and just explain how it made you feel – and what you thought the gift was saying. He may have had a whole other thought process. Give it a try and by his answer and the look on his face, you will know what the intention was.
Had it occurred to you that your son maybe picked the hedgehog and pj’s? As it is from him to you?

Never assume someone’s intentions, communication is key and by simply asking in a kind way who’s idea the PJ’s were and what reminded them of you may completely put your mind at ease. If not it at least gives you a platform to then speak to your husband about how you have been feeling and get whatever is in your mind off your chest. At the end of the day by getting you something I think bottom line it shows some gratitude and love, so if you accept that as a starting point it will make the conversation a happier one.

I think it’s a nice couple if gifts & your kiddo honestly probably picked out the Jammies bcuz its ab interesting, unusual animal 
I think you’re overthinking this & at least he DID hear you mention the movie…although it probably DID stick in his head bcuz of the connections (the other movies he associated it with) but we all retain what we do regarding gifts by different means…so like I said, at least he heard you mention wanting to watch the movie. And he probably bought it instead of otherwise thinking WHAT IF you really liked it(?) Then you would be bummed he did NOT buy it & you had to return it? Idk there are just a lot of relationships out there where someone got far less attention or mention from their partner & would wish they at least got these few things that appear to have a little thought behind them 
Since you dont like Marvel good thing he got you a movie by DC instead.

Sloths are cute and trendy atm
I think your being ungrateful it’s the thought that counts
Maybe your child picked out the pajamas as well
If you don’t want the presents, I’ll have them … I like sloths, very cool, calm and like to relax, isn’t that what is supposed to happen on Mothers Day?! Lol … I am the mother of an autistic son, father hasn’t been in the picture since he was just before 1, my son is now 20 … I was expecting to go shopping with him to get my present, he went and bought it on an outing with a support worker, that made me so happy just the fact he went and bought something… I opened the present and he got me a king Kong and Godzilla pop vinyl for mothers day, which is something he is into and I love it cause although he bought something he is currently obsessed with, he chose them and bought them for me … for my birthday, he got me an Elvis, Freddie mercury and Brian may pop vinyl, and I love them cause they came from him and I will always love anything he buys me cause he took the effort to buy them … enjoy the moment instead of looking at the negative
I hate to say it but I think you sound ungrateful! Maybe ask him about the pj’s and you’ll find out your son picked them out! As for the movie, maybe your husband actually remembered the fact you had a conversation about said movie and misunderstood your opinion! BUT good for him for remembering and making an effort even if it may have been a little off!
Be thankful you have a loving husband and child, maybe stop looking into it too much and appreciate what you have and the effort made! 
Think you need to appreciate the little things and stop being so damn bratty about something. Grow up
Are you lazy and you know it though? Like maybe you know you aren’t pulling your weight and you feel a bit of guilt and that’s why you’re way over thinking? I’m not trying to be nasty or anything but yeah.

I think you’re reading way too much into the gifts. Be thankful the time was taken and money was spent to get you something. It really is the thought that counts.
Best thing I’ve learned in my relationship is to just ask or talk about something if it hits me the wrong way. I’m bi-polar and get paranoid about a lot of things I used to just think the worst of what anything could be and hyperfixate,be rude to my partner and honestly just be an ass and make assumptions and later it would come out I was completely wrong. It’s helped a lot for me just to straight up ask for clarification. It’s helped prevent a lot of unnecessary hurt on both ends.
Be thankful that he got involved at all and is teaching your seven year old to cherish and respect you. I have grown children who have their own children now and I don’t get Mother’s Day at all. As in they do not do anything for me, my daughter didn’t even call me and my son went off and did things with his wife and her mother and the week before was my birthday and I got no attention or response from my daughter and a phone call from my son. My ex-husband never celebrated Mother’s Day for me because I wasn’t his mother.
I can count on one hand how many times my husband of 13 years has remembered to buy me a gift or card for Mother’s Day, Christmas, birthday etc, and usually those gifts are a bit of a flop BUT he tries and it’s the thought that counts. Be grateful and rock the shit out of the sloth pjs. I’m currently wearing a brand new set of flip flops that are one size too small simply because my husband put in the effort to order them for me after he must have heard me asking my kids one too many times where my flip flops went.

Kinda sounds like you’re feeling guilty for NOT keeping up the house. If you don’t like sloths then turn the PJs inside out and wear them.
Girl your ungrateful. I have been a mom for almost 10 years , and got a “ happy Mother’s Day” from my SO every single year , no gift. Sure in my head I wished he had even planned a nice dinner or something , anything really but - no one owes you anything. My kids always made me things and that was enough . This is the first year we’re separated and living in different houses and my 9 year old made me a heart shaped banana bread and wrote a letter with “ 10 reasons why your the best mom” I couldn’t have asked for anything better than that . He THOUGHT of you , and your going to go ahead and pick apart what he got you ? As if there’s some hidden message behind it ? Grow up. Maybe your son picked out those pajamas and thought you would love them , and the fact that your husband remember you wanted that movie speaks volumes as men are forgetful. Be appreciative of the gifts you got or don’t expect anything from him.
And here’s why he doesn’t ever buy you gifts… lol
Ummm are we not going to address the fact that Suicide squad is D.C. not marvel 
. Idk get him some rubber gloves and an apron for Father’s Day.
- You could simply ask him what made him pick the sloth in a nice way.
- If you think he bought you sloth jammies to give you a sign your lazy, girl you got more serious problems in your life to worry about.
- It is the thought that counts, not the gift.
Just ask 
if you’re that worried about the message he’s trying to convey, sit down and ask him outright. As for the other stuff, although you don’t necessarily understand WHY he got these gifts, it’s the thought that counts. You’ve pointed out that he’s put no effort in for other mothers days… imagine how this is going to go if you tell him you hate the gifts he got this time. You’ll probably end up back at square one where he just doesn’t bother.
Say thanks, and then see if you can steer him towards some better-suited gifts in the future.

Wow this really bothered me. At least your husband tried. Pajamas represent sleep and lounging around hence the sloths. Men dont think that deep into things to make it a subliminal message. Be grateful my husband doesnt do anything for me, for any holiday and birthdays included. Not even time he plays his video games.
Man write it in a letter get your worries concerns…questions…insecurity…all out then give it see if that gets the answers u want .just a different communication maybe he will be open to working on whatever. And don’t see into everything so close. Relax …if there is underlying issues then u may have a bigger issue.
Instead of picking everything apart and trying to find fault with both him, and yourself, you should have just graciously accepted the gifts and put the pajamas on, the movie in, kicked back and enjoyed your day and be thankful he took the time to get you something.
P.S. Who wouldn’t want sloth pajamas?!
Maybe talk to him about it instead of overthinking it and taking random strangers advice on the internet? If you have a problem and you don’t speak about your problem to the person causing you the problem then you kinda have no one to be upset with but yourself…
I think YOU feel this way about yourself, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, your being ungrateful, and you will be the one to never be happy, only because of you, your feeble minded thinking and relying on someone else to make you feel good is a very dangerous slope.

Take a moment and be grateful you were blessed with a reason to celebrate Mother’s Day.
What you think it means and what it meant coming from.him may be two COMPLE different things. You think he’s calling you lazy because of your own insecurities. That’s not fair to him.
Just because you think it doesn’t mean it is.
Not saying you have to like the gifts but assumptions are killers.
It’s called witch messages. I’m so sorry you’re treated this way. I got a set of tires once for Valentines. But I really needed them. Lol
Lol, I love sloths! In fact, I’m getting a sloth experience for my birthday. So I can’t help you out there! The movie is kind of a weird thing to give if neither of you enjoyed it. (I’ve got things to say about Leto’s Joker as well but we won’t go there!)
I think next time though, speak up! He doesn’t seem to be that great at giving gifts, so you may need to write out a wish list for future gift ideas.
I think he should have bought you a baby doll nightie and reap the rewards 
You got more than I did this year. I got nothing. One year I remember well, I did ask for pajamas. Like one nice pair from Victoria’s Secret or something. But no. They went to WalMart and Kohl’s and bought a bunch of pairs of the cheapest most unflattering and hideous pajamas. So I modeled each one and we laughed and laughed until tears ran down my face. It was obvious I would not be wearing them. And we even had my husband model some because they were so ridiculous. I never wore them and I explained why this was a lame gift to my husband privately, but the 4-year-old had helped pick them out. We actually took photos of me wearing too-tight Pebbles Flintstone pjs that say Baby Got Back and the shorts hit at the worst part of my upper thigh while I’m holding an eight-month-old with tears from laughing so hard running down my face. I don’t know what happened to those. But we at least had a good laugh. As for this year’s lack of even a card, well Father’s Day is just a month away so I guess I’ll put the same effort into his day.
You are reading too much into this.
Have an honest talk with him.
Maybe you can arrange to have the children away overnight.
Say a little prayer and have a talk. Don’t assume anything. Marriages have been destroyed because people assume things.
Best wishes to you!
Sloths are cute af and you’re being ungrateful. Atleast he tried. Maybe this is why he doesn’t usually.
How ungrateful. I can see why he usually doesn’t bother. Bet your a barrel of joy to live with🥴
I understand now why your husband doesn’t ever buy you stuff. Jeez 
Sloths are everywhere on stuff atm because they are cute. It’s just a trend. Don’t overthink!!
Sloths aren’t lazy, they’re just slow. You’re reading waaaaayyyyy too much into it. Men are simple creatures. Just tell them exactly what you want and exactly how you want things to be done. Any man who’s a man will do it. (Eventually). Any man who’s a gentleman will go above and beyond. (Eventually).
My guess is your child picked the gifts out…all of them. I once got a Harley Davidson snow globe from my son, 12 or 13 at the time because he knew how I love a man on a motorcycle (my not so secret crush) and (been single the last 9 years, this happened 4 or 5 years ago)…my brother took him shopping, my brother tried to talk him out of it but he was set on it. As soon as I saw it I knew why but did I really want it…nope. lol…I’m guessing your son wanted to go shopping and Dad took him and let him pick things out.
Just a thought…men struggle with not being able to fix everything…are you struggling with depression, give it some thought before you answer. If you decide it’s a possibility or a for sure, your husband may be trying to motivate/help you…in an unsuccessful manner (saying you can’t keep up with the house cleaning etc.). He might have been talking to someone who mentioned depression and to try a different approach, so if he picked out the gifts, maybe it’s his way of trying to pamper you. Men can try hard but are not always the greatest at doing things to show they care or are trying.
Two questions…
Are you both being passive aggressive?
Why are you not using your words in a healthy productive way and communicating your feelings to him?
Avoid words like…you never, you do, you, you, you…instead use words like…I feel, I need, I, I, I, I and you will achieve better results.
first of all, sloths are cute as fuck and i have a shit ton of sloth stuff. My fiancé buys me sloth stuff he sees in the store. doesn’t mean he thinks you’re lazy. you’re just choosing things to be mad at. even if it is subliminal why waste your energy getting angry that he got you something Lol
Might be stretch but who knows. Kinda just seems like lazy gifting.
Just try talking to him is my advice
That’s probably why he never bought you anything in the first place you didn’t like anything
Wow you’re really over thinking and in my blunt opinion sounding kinda ungrateful. HOWEVER, I can totally understand thinking it’s a trick if he never gets you anything. Sounds to me like he’s not a good gift giver. My husband is the same and because he doesn’t want me to reject his gifts, he just doesn’t get them. I didn’t get anything again for mother’s day and I wish my man would’ve gotten me some lazy pants lol
Pick and choose your battles… bad pjs is not one of them…
BE GRATEFUL!!! Some people don’t get anything.
