So my dear SO told me that he’s planning to give a gift for Mother’s Day — sweet, right? But then he says it’s going to be our baby’s hand and foot imprints… for his mom.
Now, I’m all for honoring grandmas and all, but I’m just sitting here thinking: why is my baby’s imprint being used for someone else’s Mother’s Day gift? Like… I literally did the work of making the baby. His mom is not the mother here, so why is my baby’s little prints going to her?
Am I being overly sensitive or is this kind of weird?

No, you are completely right. Read a lot of men using the “but you are not my mom, she is” excuse to mask the fact that they are just stupid (at best.)
Ask SO what he is getting you.
Umm.. it’s not her baby, it’s your baby… she can get HIS imprints and you can get your baby’s.
Nah, it’s not weird. Ask him to make you one too, but different. It’s not like your babies footprints are one time only.
You’re not overly sensitive at all. And frankly I wouldn’t allow it.
