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?

I don’t have children but I have a chihuahua who is like my baby girl so my mam buys me a card and bits off my “ daughter “ for Mother’s Day , she’s one in a million bless her x

My nana often took us out as children to buy something for our mum. Our Dad worked away. I remember coming home with flowers and we'd make cards, she'd buy us glitter and stencils etc.
I think when children are little it's lovely for a grandparent to help with things like this, especially if you are a single parent, or other parent works away so can't help.

No. I get her a card and if I can afford it, a bunch of flowers. Dh usually gets our dc to buy or make something for me.

My darling mum used to always make sure my ds had a card and a little present for me. Since she died 7 years ago I've had nothing on mother's day but the memory of what she used to do for me still makes me feel loved.

yes, my mother and mother-in-law always treat me on mothers day. I like the little acknowledgement that we all share a special relationship - that said only since having my daughter - but they are not gifts from my dd to me they are from mil/mother celebrating motherhood.

No. I'm her daughter, not her mother. What a weird question

@So1invictus The correct title is Mothering Sunday and it is to celebrate those who are 'mothering'. This can be fathers, grandparents, aunts, daughters, it's not (traditionally) a day to celebrate your mother once they're no longer mothering.

My lovely Mum used to send me, my sister and sister in law a Mothers Day card thanking us for caring for her grandchildren. Sadly she died three years ago but it always used to bring a tear to my eye.

My mum facilitated gifts after I divorced when my son was still too young to sort himself.

Mine doesn't, but one of my friends has today received a bouquet from her mum for Mother's Day - her husband has bought her a vacuum cleaner 'from the children' and she's upset about it, so her mum wanted to cheer her up.

No, thankfully she doesn’t live the UK and probably doesn’t remember when Mother’s Day is here, otherwise I’d likely get a snarky passive aggressive message from her at some point in the day.

My Mum makes sure my dc have something to give me for mothers day as I'm a lone parent and my dc are too young to do it themselves. I remember my first mothers day as a lone parent and I had 3 lots of things as my Mum and 2 different friends all sneakily made sure the kids had something for me 😂 bless all of them.

No of course not

No, never in her wildest dreams would this thought cross her mind

My mother used to give me and my SILs flowers and a card saying what good mothers she thought we were. It was lovely and I miss it very much.

No. I send her a card. Because she's my mum. It's not normal for a mum to do it to a daughter surely?

This is the first Mother's Day my sister is having since splitting from her cunt of a husband. I have tried to arrange a card and maybe a small gift for my sister but my mother had already helped the children pick something and I'm gonna spend a couple of hours tomorrow with the kids making some art with the girls as an extra gift for her.

My best friend has raised her child alone after the father fucked off when she was pregnant and her own father made sure there was a card from her child every mother day, bday and xmas until her child was old enough to manage it themselves.

Yes mine just bought me a massage and gave me a lovely card. I opened it by accident

Your normal maybe. We all have our own normality.

That's fine if the dad isn't a total deadbeat.
I'm a single mum and my mum takes my Dd to get a present. Dd picks but my mum pays

Did you see the point that op is a single mum and the dad isn't on the scene?

No.

I’m not sure being single makes thet much difference either. I didn’t get anything for mothers day until DC was 3 and preschool got him to make a card. After that primary school organised something for a few years until he was old enough to know he should doit .

Not DH.

She usually does although i don't expect it. The kids dad is good and always gets something from them but i think she worries i won't get anything.

Mine usually gets my sister and I flowers just as a little something to celebrate being mothers.

When my mum was alive, she would always get me a card and a little gift from cats. I miss that.
