AIBU?
Hilarious Mother’s Days gifts

I’ve had the biggest giggle with my Mum this morning 🤣. I’ve been ill all week with shingles and so can’t visit my Mum this weekend neither of my parents have had chicken pox. So posted card and present, she opened it this morning and I’d sent her a beautiful photo frame but forgot to put the photos of the kids in 🤦♀️… crying with laughter down the phone together… best present ever!
My DDs are with dad this weekend and I know I won’t get anything because I was too poorly to take them shopping. However my youngest (who has SEN) made me a card at Cubs… apparently it’s a cow and an elephant 🤣🤣🤣
AIBU to think giggles and memories are more important than stuff! I’ll get a cuddle when my girls get home later… what more could any Mother want?
Am I being unreasonable?

A few years ago my DH was working a long shift on Mother's Day so my DSs, then 5 and 3, bought me a slice of buttered bread and a can of diet coke in bed, saying they were too scared to use the toaster and kettle but knew I loved diet coke - honestly the best present ever.

Standard stuff. Chocs from ds which he then opened and ate! Nice card though!
Teen dsd who lives with us as her mum isn't the best, gave me a card thanking me for everything.
Might have cried a bit there
And a bottle of my fave wine. Dh didn't buy it for her. She's 14.
I'm impressed. 😁
14?
The pearl clutchers will be along any minute 😆

My 4 year old really made me smile. I did get a lovely bunch of flowers and bottle of gin which my husband organised. My 7 year old also decorated an old jar and inside were loads of lovely messages she had written. My 4 year old very proudly handed me an old Amazon cardboard envelope. There was a piece of paper at the bottom folded up really tiny. I unfolded it and it was a dinosaur colouring sheet which was half coloured in. She said 'I left the others for you to colour Mummy' 🙂.

I'm an 'old' mum now.. my children have children of their own. I got the standard flowers and chocolates and cards but from my grandson aged four I received a home made card with stickers of all the things that are 'me' on it.
Cups for a cup of tea, a watering can, gargening glubbs as he likes to call them. a dog - of course - some daisies because they are my favourite flower and some wellies plus a trowel and fork set. Lovely !
One year many moons ago one of mine - his Mummy actually - gave me a flat round pink blob of clay for Mothers ay. I said ooh that's lovely - what is it ? Came the indignant reply
"It's Vincent Van Goch's ear Mummy".. she was 4 too.

I was sitting on the sofa on Mother's Day with a cup of tea and my DH came in the room with my DS who was holding a lovely bouquet of flowers. DH said "DS give the flowers to mummy then" so DS lobbed the bouquet across the room at me. It knocked half the cup of hot tea all over my legs and fanjo and landed on the floor. Luckily the flowers weren't too badly damaged.

Love all these, especially the messages in your card @spinspinsugar55 ❤️
Many years ago my son had filled in the blank space on a “I love my mummy because…”..card with help from his teacher.
Hed written because “she cooks me fish fingers with black bits on”. 😂
Ive still got that card on my kitchen notice board.
