Does your Mum do anything for mother's Day for you?

[MunchMonster]

Does your Mum do anything for you as a mother of little ones?

If you're single? Or not?

My mum used to get chocolate and a card/ get the kids to draw a picture for me when they were little.

Well she's dead now, but no. Otherwise it would be called Daughters Day.

Why would she?

Same as Squashyhat.
It is a day to think about / do something nice for your Mother, not your dd.

No she didn't but then I wasn't her mother .

When the kids were little she would take them to buy me a card and chocs, yes.

Mum dead now, I think once she helped my girls get some flowers or something? But no, the onus was on me to give her a gift as, y'know, my mum!
We didn't go in for it much anyway.

My Mam used too, no wonder I loved her.

This.
Clue is in the title.

If the daughter is a single parent and the father is a deadbeat and wouldn't take the kids to buy anything?

Presumably OP means her mum helping her children get something for her, as dad isn’t around to do it and kids are young.

My friends mum used to get my friend, her daughter, a Mother’s Day card and present from her children because their dad didn’t bother. When my friends mum died and her kids were still young, I used to help her children get something for her. She’d not have been acknowledged otherwise.

My Mum, my (teen) daughter and I usually do something together - go for coffee and cake or something like that. Mum's widowed and I'm single. It's nice to celebrate the mother/daughter relationship (which hasn't always been straightforward!) with three generations.

If she had been looking after my children in the week they might have made a card together for me, but I would never have expected that. She’s my mother (and she is a good one) so I do something for her

For those whose mum does/did something nice, that's great and very thoughtful.

But in my opinion it's also not the mums responsibility either, like I wouldn't be angry at my mum for not doing anything for mothers day.

No but then I've never expected it to be honest.
Plus, mother's Day isn't a big thing with our family.

Dad, has occasionally got me a mother's Day present from my child. Which was lovely because again I didn't expect it.

No, I treat her for mother's day. We're hosting her and PIL tomorrow and she does tell me I'm mad for that, that I should be getting a day off (kids are small).

However if I were a single parent she'd definitely sort something from the kids because she's lovely like that.

My mum always orders me cards flowers and presents off my dds, they are too young too do it themselves so she asks my dd to pick out stuff.. I have never expected it but I've always appreciated it! Me and my mum are very close and my dds see her as their second mother (I always say she co parents with me )
Honestly I would be happy with my dds giving me a hug and saying happy Mother's Day, or a home made card but my mum always goes above and beyond.. and we do the same for her! She is always super spoilt on Mother's Day as she should be..
Everyone is different and everyone celebrates these kinds of days differently!

No
When my children were little their dad my husband would sort

Presumably OP means her mum helping her children get something for her, as dad isn’t around to do it and kids are young
We can only answer to what op has asked.
How many times have been people pulled up for projecting or making assumptions on threads?

One time she was visiting and DH was away, she took DDs shopping for cards and a small present at their request. They thought Daddy had forgotten (he hadn't, he just didn't think to tell them he had organised something 😂).

No, I do something for her as she's my mother. I have never heard of it the other way around

Why?

I am my child's mum, and I am my mums child

However, if one of my children were a single parent (and the dad wasn't on the the scene), I would help young children to organise something if I lived nearby.

@MiamiMyAmy yes that.

@WandaWonder because children are too little to do anything themselves.

She birthed me, then basically did nothing for me. So no. But that's not the point of mother's day..... The clue is in the name
