Tell me about your “fantastic” Mother’s Day morning so far….(lighthearted)

[Tinacollada]

DC (8) gave me a lovely hand made card and a tacky photo frame (but very cute thought)

DC (13) didn’t bother to say happy Mother’s Day, reluctantly made me a cup of tea that tastes like cats piss, no card, grumbled and went back to bed.

DC (8) has now brought me some out of date yoghurt as a “treat”

What a sense of occasion!

What have yours done for you…?

I’m still waiting for them to get up and spoil me 😂

Got a text saying happy Mother’s Day, I love you so much, will face time at x time and you’re getting a delivery today.

My husband said “aye that will be a big bag of washing” 😂😂😂😂

I’ve put a washing out, they’re all still sleeping, aaaa being the mother of teenagers. To be fair they have gave me my greatest gift……peace 😂😂

Ds(6) came in before 7, so before 6 in yesterday's time, thrust a card at me then asked to go down. He gave me a flowery houseplant and he and dad had also bought me a sachet of Wispa hot chocolate and a 2 pack of egg custards.

DS(3) sang happy birthday.

I got up at 5:30am to sort DS2 out and wave him off for his swimming gala before going back to bed. DS1 apparently has my card but being a teenager he will not surface until around lunchtime. I have heard the cat being sick but have not yet summoned up the desire to go and investigate that.

I got flowers, 3 cards (2 from school and 1 with Daddy) and a fully washed load waiting for me to hang on the line .

Dd 5 woke up at the crack of dawn (5am in yesterday's money) super excited to present me with a card and a small tube of scented hand cream that I probably can't use. Dd2 has a cold and since at least 4am (old time) has been fitfully dozing with her hand stuffed into my bra. I decided to power through the morning as the early start will help with the new bed time but I feel shit and wish the clock change would just fuck off forever.
Happy mothers day.

Am in bed after a rough night with sick baba. All of us were in together. DH is watching cartoons with DS now & I’m having banana on toast with tea in my fave mug. Will be up soon, though, to clean the house!
Going over to my mum later, though.

Well I have had a lay in but I've not been presented with a card or anything yet (I know there's a card at least!). I'm now pumping breast milk and on Mumsnet. Breakfast in bed isn't happening 🙈

I'm glad it's not just me!

Also fairly excited about reasonable weather and have a wash on.

Happy Mother's Day to you all 🌸

My 4 year old bless him went downstairs and got a present and cards (my mum prepared it a few days before) and bought it up to me himself before I woke up shouting "happy mummas day!!!". He then ate all the chocolates and spread the mess all over my duvet which I'll wash later

I received my flowers and box of chocolates yesterday as 3yo couldn't wait. Card was presented this morning, along with 'handmade' envelope (two bits of A4 taped together with black gaffer tape) as DH never picks up the envelope with the card in shops 🤣

woke up with a snotty nose
thought I'd better LFT before seeing H's parents to be on the safe side
LFT positive.
No restaurant lunch for me.

The school did Mother’s Day gift bags if we sent dc in with £2.50.

The dc could pick from a variety of stuff to put into the bags.

I got

A lemon balm plant
A mini candle
Mini hand cream
Small chocolate bar (kit kat)
Mini sachet of salted caramel hot chocolate from dd

From ds I got

A mini candle
Mini hand cream
Sachet of marshmallow hot chocolate
Small bar of chocolate (blue ribband)

From dh, a dvd box set it wanted

DC presented me with the flowers they bought at the school sale for £3 that they’ve been hiding since Friday.

DH made me toast in bed.

DC have ‘lost’ the card they ‘made’. Allegedly.

DS sent me a beautifully wrapped present, I was so touched.

I just opened it and it is a cooling rack for cakes, I don’t even bake.

Nature is so wise, sometimes I think I should have eaten him when he was little.

My 9, 6 and almost 4 year olds 'snuck' downstairs and got me breakfast (burnt toast and piss water tea) and brought it to me in bed. Followed by a variety of cards and presents. Some from school and some bought by my lovely mum for them.

Got up thinking surely it must be Tea Time by now, got downstairs to find the clocks saying 5:27...

Admittedly they haven't been adjusted so officially it was 6:27 but still.

Have made 2 cups of tea and 2 cups of coffee and taken an LFT test which rather to my surprise was the clearest negative I've had in a while (H tested + yesterday, as did several other people who were at the same thing on Tuesday).

S1 is still in bed. S2 is in Wales. I expect he'll text me at some point. Last year I got cards, flowers and chocolates at lunchtime

Omg so cute singing happy birthday !

Still waiting for DC to surface. Enjoying a nice peaceful coffee by myself. So blessed .

This. DD had asked me what I wanted for breakfast in bed so I gave a couple of options (I’m quite limited re diet) & she chose one. DH realised at 9 last night that there was no bread I could eat so I was up until midnight waiting for it to finish. Breakfast is lovely but there were definitely some raised voices in the kitchen while it was being made. Hopefully no eggshells this year though…

2 home made cards (1 done in school) presented at 6.30 (5.30 old time).

Then cup of tea and breakfast in bed at 8.30. Force fed breakfast by ds so I feel a bit sick. I know there are flowers downstairs as I bought them myself

Have elderly mum with dementia to visit today but also hoping for a nice walk. So reasonable I guess so far!

Nothing. He’s two, and I’m a single parent. I don’t think my ex has remembered, which makes me feel more sorry for my son’s Nan than anything else. I always organised Mother’s Day for her when we were together.

My sister sent me a message yesterday saying that my son and her had been communicating psychically and he told her to get me something so I do have a gift on the way. My sister really is too lovely.

I’m not upset about not getting anything for Mother’s Day. What I’d really like is some time to myself, but it is what it is.

I've had a great one so far ! Beautiful card, fabulous present plus was taken out to dinner Thursday - everywhere will be too crowded today. Toast and coffee before a proper cooked breakfast shortly. It makes up for last year which was a disappointment given I do an awful lot for my daughter. But am v happy today
