Did anyone else forget it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow?

[rainbowlou]

I have so much going on in my life at the moment on top of the current shitty c word, I absolutely forgot what day it is tomorrow.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all

I remembered to post a card to my mum earlier in the week. She's self isolating and miles away so we've had to cancel our visit. Then I forgot all about it. I think dh and the dds have remembered but I wouldn't mind if they didn't at the moment.

Happy Mother's Day to you

I wouldn’t mind either..it’s all so surreal x

And thank you x

My Dd 15 wont remember I suspect unless her Dad buys something for her to give me. In that case I dont see the point. I’m struggling to wish my own Mum Hapoy Mother’s Day to be honest. Some people I norice more loving in a crisis - a bit like how alcohol affects people differently - I seem to get more morose and bitter about Mother’s Day as I don’t feel any love towards my family. Am I horrible ?

No you aren’t horrible!i struggle to find cards as they’re all so sickly to me! I can’t tell
Mine I love her more than life on a card, because we don’t have that kind of relationship x

Thanks rainbowlou I hate Mother’s Day glad to know I’m not alone

This year has been the first for many when I have found a card I don't mind sending. I love my mum but she's very hard work and I have always struggled with the best mum ever type cards. Usually I get something arty but not mushy. I found a nice card in Lidl that wasn't ott.

I've been very aware of it. My mum lives alone and while she doesn't give a crap about mother's day, she's going to feel lonely as she won't be able to see any of us tomorrow. So DD and I spent the afternoon making her a tea party which we'll deliver to her door and then we'll come home and join her by by Skype. Not remotely ideal but I know she'll love it.

Happy mother's day to you all.

Yes. I apologised to my mum today because I'd forgotten to send her a card.

I was convinced it was next Sunday!! I was so confused when DH got all the cards out and was getting organised especially as it's me ordering him to write a card for his mum!!!

Text my sister and said "erm I think DH thinks it's Mother's Day tomorrow???" She said erm I wonder why that might be....!

I think our heads are just so full of all the other c word crap that there's not much room for anything else!!

I forgot all about it too.

DH brought me a mothers day cup of coffee in bed (which he does every day :) ) but I am not reminding the DCs because they will be so mortified they forgot and will feel really bad!

It's no big deal all things considered!

I'd forgotten but my beautiful dd(11) just brought me a cuppa and a card. My kids are just brilliant. I'm very fortunate. (sorry!)

I sent a gift online to my mum earlier this week and we sent flowers to MIL too.

Teen Dd has been in isolation and it been able to get anything but I already told her it's fine. I don't need anything and just her spending time with me today is enough. So we've got a 'posh' takeaway from a local restaurant coming and we are settling down to watch the new Emma, which has been released early on the whole 'cinema at home' rental.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone! I hope the sun is shining wherever you are. We will get through this whatever it takes xxx

Posted a card to my Mum earlier in the week and she text to thank me and said she’d forgotten all about it .

DH forgot so today’s just a regular day for me...

I pre emptied it - I have a card for my mum but told dd not to bother under the circumstances. She feels bad - as soon as I asked if her dad had remembered to sort out for his new partner on behalf of their son she tried to surreptitiously go on Amazon - I then felt bad, I’d only said it because I knew we would be passing by so could have dropped something off (her brother is only little and she might have felt it more - this year I don’t actually feel like celebrating, I just want to get through all this so I can see my dad and my mum again (dad has dementia to the point that Skype/phone calls would just confuse him more).
Actually I have asked for something from dd - she makes better Yorkshire puddings than me so she has a job to do!!!!

I got tea and toast and home made cards in bed. Perfect start to the day. Happy mother's day everyone.

I hadn't forgotten exactly but didn't think much about it. I received a lovely flowering plant arrangement, that's sufficient for me. I'll have a nice day on my own hopefully .
