I don't mean *your* mother, I am speaking to all the men out there with wives, with partners that are the mother's of their children... I will from here on out use the word 'wife' to mean any woman that has given you children & that you are in a romantic realtionship with - I mean no disrespect, but it's easier to write that way...
All you men complain that we don't have sex often enough. You complain that our comments of being tired, or that we don't feel sexy are just excuses, but let me tell you, it's the truth.
And holidays like Mother's Day don't really help...
Part of the problem is that this celebration involves pastel colors, delicate flowers, the 'Madonna Complex,'and cheesy gifts.
When giving your wife a gift, remember she is a woman. More than that, if she is supposed to be your lover, treat her like one!
No more little token gifts with 'World's Best Mommy' on them.
No more helpful home gifts. No more practical stuff period.
You complain that we don't act like your lover, yet do you treat us as lovers? Do you give us gifts that indicate you find us to be sexual beings, let alone attrative to you?
As a general rule, women who are thought of as sex goddess are not given toasters, coffee mugs bearing their chilren's faces, or tee shirts with '#1 Mom' on the front. While the last two may be adorable, save those gift selections for the kids.
A good rule of thumb here is 'Can she open this in front of the kids?'
If it can be, then it is all wrong, buddy, all wrong...
I can't speak for women everywhere, but here are some good ideas for you to give your wife this Mother's Day (or any time, actually!). Trust me, they will let her know you find her sexy, desirable, and appreciated for doing more than making you toast. These gifts will let her know that while you love her for bringing children into your lives, that you have always, and will always think of her as your lover first!
For romantic types, I suggest perfume. But not just any old bottle on sale somewhere! Find out the name of the perfume she wore when you met, or were first dating. Present her with the bottle, with a little note attached that reads: "This always used to drive me crazy..." She'll swoon!
For those of you who feel your relationship is in a rutt - it isn't broke, but it isn't what it once was... Try some mood setters: lingerie, music & some foreplay items.
For those of you who are right on track, and hoping to stay that way, or for those of you who know your wife is ready for lots of fun, try more erotic gifts. These include erotic books to read to her, more risque lingerie, and sex toys. What a direct message - and what an invitation!
One more suggestion... If you have been hounding her, or complaining about her 'not putting out' do *not* go too far with your gifts!
This can be seen as pressure, not fun. If you are in doubt, stick with the more 'romantic' gifts. You don't want to make her feel this is an 'I owe you' thing...
Hey, and ladies, the same idea here works for you on Father's Day! No slacking on your parts - give him gifts that show him you still think of him as your lover...
Trust me, this is a win-win situation! *giggle*
Note: If you are worried that your kids (or others around at the gift opening time) will find it strange you didn't give her a gift, get a nice plant, bouquet of flowers, or something that can be viewed by all - just for show! *wink*
