What's everyone's plans if any for Mother's Day next Sunday?

[Lovebeingamummy2]

Just as the title says really.

If you have any plans for next Sunday which is Mothering Sunday what are they, I'm just being noisy and lacking in inspiration.

What ever your plans hope everyone has a lovely time.

Some lovely plans there, I hope everyone enjoys them and sorry for all those who find it a difficult day and I hope those of you who find it hard do ok overall xx

Going to see my mum in her care home, she has dementia, we had the best relationship before she became ill but then she started to hate me and I haven't been allowed to see her for 5 yrs but she has now forgotten that she hates me and I'm allowed to visit again, so I'm going up for the first time in too long and taking my son, he's 21, he was 16 when we last visited. Then my husband will cook a roast. 😘

Probably nothing, DD has her own family and is working, DS2 has his own family so will no doubt be organising the kids to do something for his wife. He's coming down for my 60th in a few weeks . DS1 may come out of his nest, aka his bedroom to say happy mother's day.

Doing something with MIL possibly roast at lunch. Then when dp
Leaves for the week to go to work I'll go to my DM for the evening.

Not sure how to tackle that I might be having 2 roasts in one day a bit like that film 4 Christmases 😂

Nothing. I find it garish.

Nothing. We never did it growing up (my DM was Irish and considered it "too English), then I didn't instil it into DD. Shot myself in the foot there!!

No plans to mark it really. DD is booked on to a cycling course and then doing her regular football class, so just a normal Sunday for us. I am nc with my mother so I don't have to think about getting anything for her. I expect DD will make a card in school and DH will get a gift. PILs live in the US which has a different Mother's Day.

None really. I'll pop round to my mum's with a card and gift. Pretty sure DH has forgotten/not noticed so not expecting anything myself.

@Tinkeytonkoldfruit I am SO jealous. We had five kites overhead today (large town centre) but I hardly ever see them swoop down. Very vocal today too, presumably mating season.

Both my adult DC are coming for lunch. We'll make it between us, I am not precious about the day at all. We are all busy in different ways so the biggest treat is having them here at the same time.

Nothing. The denomination of my religion in my home country acknowledged 'Mothering Sunday' and asked children to show appreciation to their mothers and grandmas - a cup of tea in the morning for mum was normal - but that was it really.

The pedant in me says it’s Mothering Sunday next week and Mother’s Day in May.

Priority is MIL as she’s sick. Anything else is a bonus.

I'm having an MRI!

Cooking a lovely big roast dinner for a selection of my kids that can make it over. Hopefully a nice dog walk afterwards, weather depending, but it will just be nice to see them!

Absolutely nada because I booked a week away for DH and I without realising. He hates Mothers day as his Mum died when he was 18 and it always puts a downer on the day for me so I'm a bit gutted in truth but it is what it is. I'm sure my DC will message etc and they said we'll do something the weekend after. My Mum will be working and spending the day with her favourite daughter, my sister so no love lost there either. I'll put a card in the post this week.

I was going to spend it in hospital with my post up 10 year old (who had promised to make it special for me, bless him). But his operation has been postponed for the second time so now I don't know. Traditionally we watch a film of my choice and have a takeaway of my choice so we will probably do that and hopefully the dc will have made me cards at school.

My younger adult DS is taking me for lunch for Mother's Day but on the Monday as I'm taking Foster Son to cricket practice as normal on Sunday 1-3pm.

Oh is that next week?! It's my first one without my mum so I'll go and visit her grave. Don't think I'll be in the mood for doing much and my kids are really young anyway so I'll just do ordinary Sunday stuff.

It’s my first without my mum who died in December. I’m OK but im sure I will be fine.
my almost 6 year old wants to take me out. He is such an absolute gem and a charmer! He took me out for dinner (and paid!) for my birthday, took me for lunch on Valentine’s Day and now wants to do something on Sunday. He’s such a loving little man so I know it will be special with whatever he does ❤️

Might be a bit of a weird day for me since losing one of my kids recently, who always made a fuss of stuff like that. Probably just chill with my youngest and kick his arse on Xbox.

Definitely not going anywhere.

It will mostly be me and my son (10). Have already said when he asks “all i want is a lay in, lazy day and not to cook or wash up”

Have a lazy day, picky bits dinner & film I get to choose with no vetos😬 with my sister coming over for the evening with some picky bits and snacks because she’s said for 14+ years “you’ve been my mum” so made the joke a few years ago “well mothers day is coming up what are you getting me” so now she will occasionally join in 😅 (she has no kids or MIL and our mum is estranged)

Then video call our Nan who lives 6h drive away because shes the real mother figure, even when she had to move for hers and my grandads wellbeing/safety when sister and i were 13&14 they would still make that trip every weekend to see us. I call her everyday for anything “nan how do i make crumble like yours” or advice, a rant, or a chat. - like i assume people with good relationships with their mums might(? Idk) so we booked a long weekend for May with myself, sister, and my son, to where her and my grandad (passed away 2y ago) went on their honeymoon. So whilst not on mothers day she will find out about this mothers day.

Also a big fan from previous years of getting my nan gift-cards for like afternoon tea sessions, spa experiences, tasting menus etc when pressed for ideas and time and then being able to “cash it in” throughout the year when time etc allows

My daughter and I going to the football to watch our team hopefully progress in the cup, then meeting my partner and his mum for an early dinner - the perfect Mother’s Day; if we win first of course 😂

DSis, DH, DS and I are taking DM (92) out for lunch at v.glam curry restaurant in London.

Due to DS's shoddy planning, the confirmation of my Mothers Day present has come to my email... but is lovely, so don't mind and am keeping shtum!
