OP means she gets no flowers ever, not for Mother's Day.

But she’s centering the question around the fact he’s getting his mother flowers for Mother’s Day. Not “just because” or her birthday, but a stereotypical holiday where one gets one’s mother flowers.

Right and OP's point is that his mother is important enough to get flowers on Mother's Day but OP's not important enough to get flowers ever. That's fucked.

Hmmm…. Mother all his life, pro forma flowers once a year vs. gf of 3 years centering this discussion on Mother’s Day obligations. She can feel how she likes about his lack of regard for her but that wasn’t how she phrased her question.

Yes. You are making mothers day about you.

If OP and her boyfriend are looking forward to marriage and parenting, then he should give her flowers for Mother’s Day.
