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?

I got the best gift today..a cameo message from James Buckley arranged by the eldest of my 3 boys. Was absolutely amazing and so funny x

My poor daughter has to search her car for my granddaughter's first tooth that came out today. Granddaughter proudly to it to 4 O'CLOCK church to show everyone and it fell out of its box as she clambered into the car !

Interesting typo!! I assume you meant your DS! Congratulations 🎊

😂Brilliant- Bless him x

My day started at 6am with DS 4 appearing with a potted plant he’d made at nursery; he proceeded to tip said plant in my direction, spilling soil all over me and the bed. DH headed downstairs to make coffee, no milk, no shops near us open till 10am. Tragic. I then discovered a 3ft vase on the dining table, DH had picked it up from B&Q whilst buying decking paint yesterday. Just google Vanda orchid B&Q to appreciate the size of this thing; I nearly put my back out tipping the water back out as it needs dry roots, no idea where it’s going to live or how I’m going to keep it alive. I kill anything green!

My mom pointed out a few years back (as none of us kids had realised) that every single mother's day for about 10 years was spent with us all going for a hike to a fishing spot where we would spend the day before heading home where mom would cook the fish we'd caught. This is after she'd made us breakfast before we went and packing a picnic for lunch.

Dad gutted the fish. Mom checked all our pockets later in the evening to ensure we hadn't brought home any salamanders.

Breakfast of champions.

That's horrific. Thoughts and prayers.

I feel your pain. I have one malice filled black and white girl and one orange idiot.

Look at him. Feigning innocence whilst dreaming of masculine aromas.

At least it was a draw, hey 🤣

Definitely a passive aggressive move (without the passive bit). But he is a god and should be worshipped 😻

Yes they are delighted with a draw!! Bloody ridiculous

It was as good as a win against Liverpool!!

Well I thought so anyway!

Literally lolled!!

Im going back many years,but one year my brothers (twins) went to make my mother a cup of coffee

She was still asleep when they crept downstairs,found her mug,filled the kettle with water and Instead of putting the coffee in the mug,they poured half the jar into the kettle!

Blew the kettle up and almost started a fire

The following year they went to make her toast and buttered the bread before sticking it into the toaster

Blew the toaster up (both now told as a funny story but at the time she hit the roof)

My own story is when I was a skint single mum,I accidentally taught the kids how to get the best value for money ?I didnt teach them this as such but kids notice things)

I wasn't fussed about mothers day but did mention that if they really wanted to buy me something,to buy it on the Monday as everything would be half price

One year I got a text from ds2 'mum,got you a prezzie,half price,home in 20'

'That's lovely son,thank you'

He walked in with a massive box of my fave chocolates

Only temptation had taken over on the way home and he'd eaten the lot on the walk back!

He proudly handed me the empty box!

My husband left it to dd14. I have a bar of chocolate. No one has even bothered so much as to make me a cup of tea. I bought flowers for his mother, so he took them round with my children to 6 hours. So I saw pretty much no one all day. And they’re currently wondering why I’ve gone off to bed early.

😂

Moonpig screwed up and both my Mum and MiL received two identical cards.

Is that an issue?

My Mother’s Day started at 12:30 am when DS (13) came down with norovirus. Plans cancelled but we got to spend it together and he was very sweet and apologised for ruining our day out. (I told him it’s not his fault, I’m not a monster)

Gotta roll with the punches in this motherhood lark!

In a public loo today, my 5 year old DD exclaimed that my bum is "very big isn't it". After I said, yes, it is and that I like my bum she followed up with: "I don't like your bum"

Voted YABU..crunchie is vile..

Eldest rang and woke me from Tenerife at 8am to ask me how to get a taxi to the market over there and if her PIN number will still be the same for the cash line in Spain as it is in the uk 😳

this was then followed by more phone calls throughout the day to ask
—how to work the safe in her room
-how to hire “those stripy towels for the sunbeds we had last time” (we were at a different hotel last time)
-can I try and figure out what’s included in her all inclusive because the snack bar was trying to charge her 6euro for a cheeseburger.

believe it or not she’s actually quite intelligent. She only left yesterday afternoon. It’s going to be a long week

What was the special operation?
