Is a small Mother’s Day gesture from my young kids to my new partner too much?
I have a partner and I’m wondering if it would be a good idea to have my kids give her a small gift for Mother’s Day.
For context: she might become their stepmom in the future, but right now they’ve only met twice. They actually clicked really well and seem to like each other, which is great.
I’m not planning anything big or calling her “mom” or anything like that — just maybe a small gesture (like a drawing or a simple card) to make her feel included and appreciated. She also has a dog, so I was even thinking of incorporating that to keep it light and playful.
At the same time, I don’t want to create any pressure or make things feel too serious too soon. My kids are 3.5 and 4.5 years old, so it would be very simple and from them.
Do you think this is a nice gesture, or could it come across as too much / too soon and potentially make her uncomfortable?
Curious to hear perspectives, especially from people who’ve been in similar situations.
