After years of being dissapointed on mothers day i have taken the bull by the horns this year and told my children I want a present for tomorrow. I'm not asking for alot. A cheap bunch of flowers from lidl or a cheap box of chocolates. A token gift to acknowledge the day really. I'd love it if they could do this without me having to tell them but here we are. My ex was useless organising anything for mothers day and since I became a single mam, no ones here to remind them.
I know my kids love and appreciate me, I just think mothers can be taken for granted. So I've decided its down to me to teach them how to show that appreciation. They are actually excited to go out and pick a 'surprise' for me.
I know MN is going to be full of disappointed mothers tomorrow. So if you've a useless partner or no partner like me. Maybe take my lead and give them a nudge today.
