What are you doing on Sunday, Mother’s Day ?

[LovelyYellowLabrador]

I don’t know if I fancy going for lunch out
Can only get in somewhere casual or a Chinese now

Go shopping
And lunch

Or swimming or just go outside somewhere

What are you upto ? Looking for ideas xx

Lunch in a restaurant.

Getting up at 5am to take DS2 to a swimming gala then sitting on an uncomfortable wooden bench for approx 12 hours in the boiling heat of the swimming pool to watch him swim. I dont recommend it.

My parents have gone away for a few days, though we don't do anything for Mother's Day anyway. I'll send her a text on Sunday.

DH's mum passed away a few years ago so I think he'd rather just forget the whole weekend.

I might take him out for lunch as a distraction

@amusedbush Lunch places may be full of Mother's Day specials and groups, so just something to be a bit careful of, though it's an incredibly sweet thought.

Hopefully not in the places he likes, though I'm sure some mums love hot wings or a dirty burger

That's definitely a consideration though, maybe I'll take him a drive for fish and chips at the beach instead.

He's feeling a bit down today as he delivered a parcel to a florist shop earlier and the owner made a joke about him leaving it late to get his Mother's Day order in

@amusedbush Oh, that's crap. I'm sorry!

I made my mam a card for Sunday but probably won't see her. Hopefully we'll be going off for the day, perhaps to Scarborough or Filey or somewhere.

Working a 12hr shift

The dog left me a post it this morning to be ready for 12.30 on Sunday. 😂

My DC are all adults with partners and children of their own, I’ve made it clear over the years that they should concentrate on their own families on Mother’s Day. They all live miles away from us and work full time, I’d hate them feeling like they had to travel to see me on Mother’s Day. I’ll no doubt get cards/texts and flowers from each one though. I can’t deny that I’m counting down the days to having them all here for the Easter weekend ☺️

Having a lunch at mums and hopefully sitting out in the garden, planting up pots. She's 87 and will enjoy an easy sort of day

My own Mum is working so we're having a mother day bbq tomorrow. For me, the kids have got me presents and cards. They usually attempt to make me breakfast in bed (they're only 9, 6 and 3 ) and I'm hoping for some kind of lie in.

DS1 will be in bed all day. DS2 at his dad's and SM. His Dad has pressurised him to buy SM a card and gift this year...

I'm driving to my Mum's and we are going for Toby Carvery with my sister.

Last year l made Afternoon Tea for Mum and l. Sister couldn't come because of covid

We weren't going to do anything as dd2 has dance 1-3 so hopeless timings for lunch or afternoon tea, plus we go and see MIL in the morning so breakfast/brunch out too.

But dance teacher has just cancelled Sunday's class as she has Covid. Far too late to book anything now, I suppose...

I think I'm going to go to a park, take my son for a bike ride and have a pic nov.
He's 5 and it's the first time that he's ever really acknowledged it! He keeps asking for the park and a picnic bless him!

DD lives 3 hours away and is working so won't be seeing her and both mine and DP's mums are dead, so we won't be doing any Mother's Day stuff.

working all weekend ,kids at there dads till mon, will go and put some flowers on my mam and dads grave

We are all recovering from Covid. I’ll drop a card round my mums, but a doubt she would want to mix with us even though I have been testing negative the past couple of days.
My husband has bought some lamb and will cook a roast, I might get a nice dessert too. Not very exciting I’m afraid, but we’ve had a crappy couple of weeks and need a rest! I should imagine my husband will help the kids make cards at some point too.

Visiting my Mum in her care home. Going out with DH, DS, Dbrother and Dbrother-in-law to eat in the evening.

DH will want to see his own mother and invite her over to see our DC. So I’ll be going out for a walk on my own. I’d rather shit a hedgehog than spend the day with her.

"Here's an interesting one, and not exactly one to be proud of - it will be my second day as an inpatient in rehab."

@TeddyTrucks, this is definitely something to be proud of. Good luck.

Going to local pub with kids as its cheap and cheerful and Im skint.

I'm off to see War Of The Worlds in Cardiff - was bought as a Christmas present...going for meal with kids on Sunday

Decorating my daughters room and seeing my gd so far

I’m a single mum to a toddler so I think the day will go unnoticed. My own mum is dead too. Very jealous of everyone with lovely plans and to those of us without loved ones

Doing whatever DH has planned (it’s my first non-lockdown Mother’s Day so as long as it doesn’t involve going for a fucking walk around the countryside I’ll be happy), and trying not to dwell too much on the fact that my own mum died last month.
