THE MOST SELF-OBSESSED MOTHER’S DAY ARTICLE YOU’LL READ TODAY

Author and love expert Diann Valentine talked to “Good Morning America” about Mother’s Day. She said, “I used to be terribly disappointed with my husband when Mother’s Day would roll around, and I would not wake up to an overflow of gifts. It took me a while to understand who he is. One of the biggest mistakes that women make is that we expect our husbands to be mind readers and men just are not wired the way that we as women are.” Valentine shared four tips to ensure you have a fabulous Mother’s Day:
1. “If you have a personal shopper at one of your favorite stores, pick out a few items that you love and then have your personal shopper contact your husband on your behalf and share some of the things you have had your eye on.”
2. “Pick out a few places that you would like to go to celebrate Mother’s Day and make a reservation at all of them and then send them to your husband as possible suggestions for a great time.”
3. “Print out photos of some of your favorite things and then give them to your child or children to share with daddy. Kids are always so honest so they will be sure to let him know how important your Mother’s Day gift is.”
4. “Buy your own gift. I know that might sound less special but I tried this one year out of frustration and my gift was quite pricey. And I shared that it was my own Mother’s Day gift to myself. My husband didn’t complain but that was the last gift I had to buy for myself.”
* This woman is a joke, right? Maybe this segment of “Good Morning America” was supposed to be a satire.
* I think what she’s trying to say is “Make sure you judge your relationship with your husband by the quality of the stuff he buys you.”
* Talk about First World Problems.
* Get me my personal shopper – I have her on speed dial.
* By the way, restaurants like nothing more than taking reservations you know you’re not going to keep.
* This woman is a love expert, all right. She’s in love with herself.
* Sounds like she wishes she could be her own husband.
* Somehow I’m not surprised that her husband didn’t feel inclined to have her “wake up to an overflow of gifts”.
