MOTHER'S DAY IS RUINED!

My Mother’s Day started at 12:30 am when DS (13) came down with norovirus. Plans cancelled but we got to spend it together and he was very sweet and apologised for ruining our day out. (I told him it’s not his fault, I’m not a monster)

Gotta roll with the punches in this motherhood lark!

Is that an issue?

Moonpig screwed up and both my Mum and MiL received two identical cards.

😂

My husband left it to dd14. I have a bar of chocolate. No one has even bothered so much as to make me a cup of tea. I bought flowers for his mother, so he took them round with my children to 6 hours. So I saw pretty much no one all day. And they’re currently wondering why I’ve gone off to bed early.

Im going back many years,but one year my brothers (twins) went to make my mother a cup of coffee

She was still asleep when they crept downstairs,found her mug,filled the kettle with water and Instead of putting the coffee in the mug,they poured half the jar into the kettle!

Blew the kettle up and almost started a fire

The following year they went to make her toast and buttered the bread before sticking it into the toaster

Blew the toaster up (both now told as a funny story but at the time she hit the roof)

My own story is when I was a skint single mum,I accidentally taught the kids how to get the best value for money ?I didnt teach them this as such but kids notice things)

I wasn't fussed about mothers day but did mention that if they really wanted to buy me something,to buy it on the Monday as everything would be half price

One year I got a text from ds2 'mum,got you a prezzie,half price,home in 20'

'That's lovely son,thank you'

He walked in with a massive box of my fave chocolates

Only temptation had taken over on the way home and he'd eaten the lot on the walk back!

He proudly handed me the empty box!

Literally lolled!!

It was as good as a win against Liverpool!!

Well I thought so anyway!

Yes they are delighted with a draw!! Bloody ridiculous

Definitely a passive aggressive move (without the passive bit). But he is a god and should be worshipped 😻

At least it was a draw, hey 🤣

Look at him. Feigning innocence whilst dreaming of masculine aromas.

I feel your pain. I have one malice filled black and white girl and one orange idiot.

Breakfast of champions.

My mom pointed out a few years back (as none of us kids had realised) that every single mother's day for about 10 years was spent with us all going for a hike to a fishing spot where we would spend the day before heading home where mom would cook the fish we'd caught. This is after she'd made us breakfast before we went and packing a picnic for lunch.

Dad gutted the fish. Mom checked all our pockets later in the evening to ensure we hadn't brought home any salamanders.

My day started at 6am with DS 4 appearing with a potted plant he’d made at nursery; he proceeded to tip said plant in my direction, spilling soil all over me and the bed. DH headed downstairs to make coffee, no milk, no shops near us open till 10am. Tragic. I then discovered a 3ft vase on the dining table, DH had picked it up from B&Q whilst buying decking paint yesterday. Just google Vanda orchid B&Q to appreciate the size of this thing; I nearly put my back out tipping the water back out as it needs dry roots, no idea where it’s going to live or how I’m going to keep it alive. I kill anything green!

😂Brilliant- Bless him x

Interesting typo!! I assume you meant your DS! Congratulations 🎊

My poor daughter has to search her car for my granddaughter's first tooth that came out today. Granddaughter proudly to it to 4 O'CLOCK church to show everyone and it fell out of its box as she clambered into the car !

I got the best gift today..a cameo message from James Buckley arranged by the eldest of my 3 boys. Was absolutely amazing and so funny x

I'm doing a 24 hrs shift (started at 8.30am, left the house at 7.45 am) so haven't seen my husband or kids and won't do until 5pm on Monday.

Son has sent flowers, but still not delivered & I don't they will be now. He's annoyed as he arranged for them to be delivered yesterday. 😭

I don’t have children but the cat woke me at 6.30 asking for breakfast so I guess that counts.

Saw DS and DIL for brunch and saw DD last weekend as she lives a few hours away so had a planned visit to them.

DH and I usually go out for a roast on Sunday somewhere local - nice pub or suchlike. Today we did not as it's Mother's Day - expensive, set menus etc. I ordered a McDonald's delivery - bit of a weird one but hey I fancied a burger and it's Mother's Day so I can do what I like! It's over a year since I had a Big Mac. I was drooling at the prospect.

It arrived! I took my first bite. It was a bloody chicken Big Mac. WTF. Two dry chicken patties should not be allowed to sit inside buns masquerading as a Big Mac. I hit the wrong button on the order. Never even knew a chicken Big Mac was a thing. Mother's Day is so ruined!
