What would you like for Mothers Day?

[Givemeallthewine8]

As the title suggests. What would you like this year?
I have 3 young children so it is down to DH to organise.

I’d be happy with a bottle of fizz, some mini eggs and homemade cards (I know nursery and school do this).

Extra’s welcome…a lie in, coffee waiting for when I wake and to do absolutely nothing all day.

I'd looooove a long lie then a coffee in bed however DH is at work for the next few weeks so it's just me and 2DC (2&6) so zero chance of a lie in. I'll settle for a cosy morning on the sofa with a film instead.
my sisters cooking all the ladies of the family a Sunday roast so I'm really looking forward to that!

To get a sub 2 hour 30 min half marathon time, and have my young children cheering me across the finish line, and then hugging them.

A decent glass of fizz in the evening.

My sons are both coming home from University for the weekend which is lovely. I would like my daughter, son in law and grandson to be coming too but the journey is too long. I'd also like an improvement in the weather forecast so we can get out for a bike ride or a walk but I'm not wildly optimistic about that!

I’m enjoying the immaterial responses. I was expecting lots of material gifts. I’m adding spending some time in the bath with fizz and book to my wish list which will be highly unlikely as there is no such thing as privacy or peace in this house. But I will enjoy just spending the day with my little ones. Thinking of all those who are missing/grieving their mums, those who feel forgotten about and those who are still waiting for their mum journey to start.

For DH not to trot out his annual “you are not my mum” line. This year it was because he has planned to spend the afternoon watching various sporting fixtures in his bedroom (yes we have separate bedrooms) while I cook lunch for my elderly parents, followed by a busy evening shift at work.

To not see my MIL.

Neither if my children will be here (one lives 89 miles away, the other 300 at uni) so not expecting anything (maybe a card but we don’t normally do cards). I’m a widow so no DH to celebrate being a mother with. So it will be like any other Sunday!
If they were here I think one of them would cook a roast lunch which would be lovely.

If he’s an arse about it, do something with Dd yourself. Even if it’s making pancakes because it’s Mother’s Day or buying nice breakfast items and daffodils for mummy in the shop with her “because it’s Mother’s Day”. Get her used to the idea that something nice happens on special days.

My dc usually give me a hug and some chocolates. But they’re teens and are getting better ideas and starting to know me better now so let’s see.

A day to myself, which is what I’m getting!

An unexpected visit from my daughter and grandaughter would be the best .

We're putting the baby in nursery and DH & I are going to the spa for the day to celebrate a year of parenthood.

A pink striped mug with a leopard and the words "Fucking excellent mother" (my children are young/actual adults), some daffodils, and a roast lamb dinner. I'll get a lie in and a cuppa in bed anyway, as I always do on a Sunday.

Oh I would be weaponising that.

Sorry, haven't done the weekly shop. I'm not your mum, remember?

Haven't cooked anything for dinner. I'm not your mum, remember?

I asked DD's for a pair or 2 of cute cotton shorts to sleep in over summer.
I would like breakfast in bed with DD's and a walk along the beach with them on Sunday.

A bottle of fizz. Pink ideally. I’ve got tonnes of flowers as I recently had surgery and people were very kind so don’t need any flowers. Maybe a bottle of perfume. But honestly. Gentle hugs and a bit of time with my boys

Actually strike that. I want the fucking excellent mother cup

It's not even an expensive mug, but I love it! (I'm usually an Oliver Bonas/Le Creuset mug devotee).

I know what I’m getting from my adult sons.
one is getting me a Garmin Edge. The other is getting me a body composition scales that measures visceral fat, body fat percentage etc, and a joint gift of an air b n b voucher.

I might buy the excellent mother cup for myself! ( because I’m worth it,) 😂😂

I'd like exactly what I'm getting, which is a nice pub lunch with my mum, DH and DS

Next have some in, spotted the other day in different styles they looked lovely

Tbh I’d love a day off. I’m a single mum with a Sen child and it’s hard work. The only time I’m not with them is when they’re at school and I care for another family member then too. So a lie in and left to watch Netflix in bed or on the sofa eating crap would be bliss. In reality I’m hoping for some chocolates and flowers from my eldest.

I am going to willow farm in st albans (mothers go free) with my baby and dh, we managed to get a premier inn in st albans for £60 a night. That's my mothers day treat

Sleep. Lots of it

I’ve booked tickets to the Brontë Parsonage, my happy place. And my two DDs WILL not moan about it. To be fair, even DD2(10), who is classically ADHD, really likes it. I have just bought a few pots of white hyacinths from our food market. That will do me.

It’s not until May here, but after losing my youngest daughter a year ago, I don’t want gifts, honestly just an outing with the family with plenty of photos taken.
