Hilarious Mother’s Days gifts

[Hesma]

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?

Mine brought me breakfast in bed one year, cereal with milk and a glass of Oj, they cleverly used my laptop as a tray....... Clever boysxx

Teen humour coming out in my card this morning-
roses are red
violets are blue
thank you mum for pushing me out of you.

it made me laugh on what is a hard day (first without my own mum)

Teen humour here too:

I got my daughter a flower basket from my grandson and a little wooden gift which I told him to hide in his bedroom yesterday afternoon and give it to her this morning.
He actually did ! He brought it to her at 9am. He is four. I expected him to give it to her last night but he listened really hard. When I spoke to her on the phone we laughed about it.

DH has made an effort this year on behalf of the kids (KS1 age) and all three of them were absolutely thrilled with their efforts which was breakfast in bed

at 6.35 in the morning

and was

pre-packaged sliced melon decoratively arranged on a plate - I really really hate melon but I don't think it's ever come up in conversation. I had a nibble and offered the rest to the kids.

a huge mug of coffee in the large decorative mug I normally reserve for soaking my moon cup in

a bowl of Greek yoghurt and posh muesli then appeared - great

as I was enjoying my yoghurt a massive plate of smoked salmon, bagels poached eggs and hollandaise sauce appeared. Which I LOVE but not straight after a big bowl of yoghurt.

as I was forcing the last of the salmon down a huge bowl of cheesy nachos with jalapeños arrived. At 7.05 in the morning. I had to politely decline.

Im still chuckling about it now.

DS (5) woke me up this morning with a pound coin from his money box. He’s saving for Lego and counts it every day so it’s a big thing ❤️ Obviously I’ve tucked it quietly back into his money box 😉

So far my gift seems to be alone time with my child while my DH is still sleeping

@Ronnii 💐💐💐

[honeylulu]

Outing because I've also posted it on my FB but I am the proud owner of a Shark Handbag (formerly a Coca Cola box)!

[AlwaysLuigi]

DS (6) woke at 5am this morning in order to give me the best Mother’s Day ever, when he asked what I would like I replied I really would like to go back to sleep 😆 He then brought me up a glass of water and had drawn a heart on with his window pens ❤️

From my 11 year old dd 🤣

[BettyBoops]

5 year old DD made me a card in school, she has been desperate to give it to me for days! Proudly presented it to me this morning and told me that it was the little mermaid (my favourite Disney film)
After she had pointed out the various characters I asked "is that Ursula?"
She huffed and rolled her eyes at me and said "no mummy that is obviously a tree!"
That gave us a giggle!

That's made me properly laugh! Kudos to your DH for being up in the kitchen so early. Particularly taken by them using your Mooncup mug!

It's just me and my toddler here this weekend. I did get a lie-in, bit only because she was awake between 12 and 4 this morning! Will make myself my favourite brunch of bacon, pancakes and maple syrup soon, and have steak for dinner. Will get her to give me the card she made me in a bit. Am so grateful to be a mother that it will be perfect!

many many years ago my then 6 year old daughter went to the shop with a friend of mine to get a present for mothers day I got a bar of shield soap she was so proud that she had managed to save herself half the money

[MrsDoylesDoily]

What a lovely thread and I love the photos! 😂😍

When my brother was 7, he saved his pocket money and bought my mum 1lb of carrots from the Greengrocer on the high street.

He's 56 now we still laugh about it every year!

🤣

Can I just say I think it's really shitty of your ex to keep them with him for Mother's Day morning. I know it's none of my business but I feel sad for you because that they're not there

[Ladydinosaur]

As my lot got to the teen years,I told them if they wanted to buy me something,to hang on to the Monday and buy it reduced as they didn't earn a lot of money-and it would go further
One Monday after mothing Sunday I got a text from my son
'Mum!I've got you a box of chocs!75% off!bargain!'
About 15 minutes later he came wandering in,cluching a box of my fave chocs
With 3 chocs in it-the ones nobody liked!
Seemed temptation had got the better of him via the way home!
We laugh about it every year
Same kid also bought me a set of Allen keys for Christmas
Nothing will beat my brother who bought my mother a set of 2 car washing sponges for mothering Sunday!
She hadn't passed her test at that point!

[SchoolTripDrama]

As for me, I haven't received anything as my DD is only 8 and I'm widowed with very little family. I'm grateful to have her and for simply being a mother anyway though and that's what matters

[SilverPeacock]

Dd got me a mug with hot chocolate mix and marshmallows. But she opened it and has had the hot chocolate herself. So I’ve got a mug.

It could be a favour if she's ill with shingles?

[Bornin1989]

Being left all morning with toddler and dog recovering from surgery who is crated and howling. Howling stopped whilst toddler had a tired meltdown as I tried to rapidly scramble eggs which she didn't want due to being overtired. I then get a call from partner to say "oh, happy mother's day!". Hung up on him 😬

[reesewithoutaspoon]

My favourite mother's day card was the first year my ds went and got one independently. He proudly stood there while I opened it saying he got it because it had a cute rabbit on the front and said " thinking of you" because he was thinking about me on mother's Day. I opened it and inside it said " So sorry for your loss".
I still have it 28 years later.

[Tittyfilarious81]

Many years ago when my oldest was little my dh took him to get me a present he was thinking some flowers etc but my son saw a Gizmo from gremlins in a shop window on the way and was adamant I'd like the Gizmo more than flowers, I loved it 😁

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

Told this before. My dh was working on M D and I was at home with my 10 yo, 8 yo twins and my 1 yo.Unbeknownst to me, DH gave them a fiver (20 odd yrs ago) to get me something. (Small, safe market town, so ok to go to shop). Proudly they came home and presented me with a Crunchie. DH came in and asked what they gave me. He went up stairs to find them divvying out almost 5 quids worth of woolies’s finest sweets. Still laugh about it.

What a lovely thread.
"Things" don't matter.
Memories do..

Who the hell is saying YABU?!

[Ikeatears]

Ds3 (12) signed his card "from your favourite human child" At least he's aware that he comes below the dog in the pecking order!🤣
