MOTHER'S DAY IS RUINED!

[Oneandanotheroneistwo]

(Lighthearted... sort of). DD (4yo) proudly presented me with a box of Heroes and some flowers this morning that she chose yesterday. Lovely. Except.... THERE WAS ONLY ONE CRUNCHIE IN THE BOX. ONE. JUST ONE.

AIBU to think Cadburys are taking the mick?

Does anyone else want to share their lightheaded mother's day disappointments?

This is thread!

I arranged my own mothers day gift cause it was clear DH was forgetting. 3 new chickens for him to collect from a farm. All he had to do was turn up and phone the farmer. Well farmer is messaging me to say no ones turned up and DH is say he's there and has been calling and messaging farmer but no response. So the present I really wanted is happening ! And I'm trying not to get upset

Thank you so much for your kind words.

The BTP are involved now so I will have to give a statement and if that makes me a grass so be it. I'm just unsure if the man fell on me on purpose. The group by me were clearly looking for trouble. And as lady afterwards said to me afterwards that what he did was 'so unnecessary' and the legs together fall did seem contrived but he was also drunk.

I'm a 5' 2" lady in an individual seat, so I am an easy target I suppose.

Well I will just explain what happened to the police and let them figure it out!

I had a lovely bunch of flowers delivered which I thought was a bit strange as DD had already given me some. There was no indication who they were from. It was a Moonpig delivery. Turns out they were for the landlady of the pub which is practically next door. She had no idea who they were from either.😄

I’m so sorry! If it’s any consolation, the only child of mine that is home ran the Liverpool half this morning which we went over to cheer him in, and now him and his dad are off to Anfield. I am the sole Tottenham fan here but I have crisps and wine 😂

The adult in me is happy she has flowers but seeing my brother in the background of the picture looking sooo smug does irk me a bit 😭

I'm 'lucky' that my brother is unutterably shit at this type of thing so won't have sent her anything so it's always either Dsis or I for the win.

I got a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card saying Love you Mum, but no idea which of my 4 children they are from. My money is on my youngest daughter. I've taken a photo of the flowers and put it in the family WhatsApp group, saying a general thank you. Knowing my sons, they will take credit 😉

DD and DH are at Comic Con in Aberdeen and won't be home til early evening; there is a bag of stuff for me but DD told DS not to give it to me til she gets back.
About 20 minutes later she changed her mind but by that time we were nearly at church and I won't see DS tilearly evening now either as he had various plans.
So I'm on my own with chocolate, books and may enter some competitions if I feel like it later.
We don't have any grandparents any more and although I miss them, especially my mum, Mothers Day always ended up with me running around sorting stuff for them so it's nice not to have to do anything in a way.

Crunchies are the best

@BootMaker I need to hear more about this top please!!! Links required too pls! (ps are you Trinny?)

On the subject of disappointing gifts. I've started getting Julia Donaldson books (which is good) but DH chose the bloody Gruffalo. Anything but The Gruffalo.

Received a cream tea from my son, and chocs, flowers and books from my daughter. Lovely

Me! I love Crunchies so send them all my way, please. 😄

My son wet the bed so my lie in turned into stripping sheets and putting a wash on.

DS20 has been home from uni on reading week, he is going back today. He has just stomped out the house, swearing under his breath because I folded his laundry for him. Not said a word to me.

DS15 is upstairs studying for GCSEs. He at least said 'oh yes, its Mother's Day' when I told him my mother coming over later. Didn't actually express any wishes.

DH took me out for brunch but forgot to book a table, so we ended up in a greasy spoon. He is now out coaching other people's kids.

I feel loved.

Although as an afternoon sitting with a cup of tea and no one pestering me is much appreciated.

i am in Canary Islands and forgot it was Mother’s Day. I was enjoying a lovely run through nearby woods and came across best outdoor market ever!! I will buy some accessories for my daughter’s wedding later this year. Texted my son can I get him and partner some designer t-shirts and he texted ‘lol mum it’s Mother’s Day I’m supposed to be getting you things’. I am having best Mother’s Day. Although on my own.

The cat scent marked in my face, some went in my mouth.
I win 🤣

I think you do… 🤮

Mother's Day has been restored in the Embroidered Gardener's household. They found my book and we're ordering chinese for dinner.

I was thinking about getting a cat but you’ve changed my mind 😂

My adult son, no kidding, has ruined mine, by ensuring I don’t know whether he’s alive or dead somewhere in Europe, deciding to tell me he’s having a psychological breakdown, and then his phone is off.
He‘s got form.

🥇

Can I add that this was before I'd got up.
Day has much improved since, but I was starting from a very low bar!😹

My DC presented me with a card signed from them and the cats, then had a row amongst themselves - about whether the drawn on paw prints under the cats “signatures” should have three toe beans or four.

Theyre in their 20s.

(Hugs to anyone having a genuinely shit Mothers Day btw. I’m finding it hard missing my mum but the DC also got me a candle which we will light for her later).

See, this is genuinely a scenario that requires going No Contact, immediately. Grey Rock isn’t enough for this.
