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?

My poor brother is a season ticket holder at Spurs..... he has the pleasure of watching them lose on a regular basis.

I bought flowers from DD and was going to take the cost from her pocket money but now I can't bring myself to. So I bought my own mothers day present. The flowers are nice though.

I didn’t wake till 740 which is a massive lie in for me. My 6 year old told me he was letting me sleep longer as my gift.
Also got breakfast in bed from 10
year old. Feel very lucky to have them

Our 1-year-old presented me with her handmade card and painting, and as I was extolling their beauty, she snatched them back while shouting 'Mine' and trying to scratch bits off them.

We gently explained that even the greatest artists can have trouble letting go of their work, and took them off her while I distracted her with a book.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

My DC are grown up and live away from us , I’ve had cards and some lovely biscuits , and I’ve been advised to wait in for a delivery ( looks outside and quite happy to stay in )
DH and I have just had a snigger remembering when DD at about 7 years old made toast and jam for Mother’s Day breakfast , but spread homemade beetroot chutney instead
To be fair , it was in a Bonne Maman jar

Aw thank you so much that makes me feel better! I’d gone to bed late and just didn’t have the wherewithal to control my first reaction. Yes it’s all been clawed back, we fried the cold poached eggs and toast and they were even still runny in the middle. Result! She’s all pleased with herself again 😅

That’s really lovely of you. And they were lovely to ask.
i hope those are the best daffs ever

DH offered to make me a bacon bacon for breakfast. I was so happy until I smelled the stench of fake smoke flavouring which makes me retch. He said, 'Oh I didn't know you don't like smoky bacon.' We've only been married 30 years and had that conversation about 100 times. And he had toasted the bagel until it was brick hard. I had to chuck it out for the birds and make my own egg bagel instead.

Still, DS2 is coming this afternoon and we are baking a cake together. The day is not lost.

No kids, but I do have a dog who sleeps in bed & woke me at 6 this morning by treading on my bare nipple as he tried to snuggle closer.
Sigh

Brentford season ticket holder here… Spurs are rotten and totally wasted Thomas Frank (and a whole string of more managers).
My Mother’s Day so far: lie-in after getting in very late last night from a show, dog walked by DH who brought back pastries. Coffee in bed, kid had a cuddle & is tidying her room & is taking me out for dinner later this week.

😂😂

I checked my DDs school bag for letters etc on Friday evening and found the home made card she had made for me

🤣🤣
🤭

This 100%

I’m getting a lie in as DS is away with Scouts and DD is out- so that’s nice!

Not even Austen…

Try being a single parent (who didn’t choose to be a single one, I might add) we get nothing, not even a break from mummy duties for the day!!!

I have two adult DS in their late 20s. One went NC 6yrs ago so nothing from him. The other one is laid back but lovely and thoughtful. For the first year not a card, not a text, not a call. We don't live close to each other so I know I won't be seeing him. Bit disappointed.

Haven’t slept properly due to hip pain and insomnia. The right side of my face has been swollen since yesterday morning. I’m tired. My husband made me a cup of tea in a mug I use for soup as it’s too wide and cools my tea down. I need my tea boiling. It was not.

I got a nice new cup and some chocolate though so silver lining.

Of course he knew, typical cat behaviour. He likes manly smells so you should oblige him by smelling manly. You may think it's Mother's Day but he knows it actually cat day, like every other day of the year. Worship him.

Why did he go NC? That’s awful

My 16 month old snagged my Loro Piana cashmere scarf with his shoe 🥲

Very very true

How old are your children? Are they of an age to support them to be able to ‘give’?

I’ve managed to upset DD1 2 and 3 and my mum by going away and currently in a super king 5 star bed listening to the Caribbean waves lapping on the shore with DH. Yes I didn’t check the dates when I booked it 7 months ago 🤣🤣🤣. As penance I’ve said they get a free pass this year from cards and presents!

ps I love the crème egg ones send them here

I've just had smoked salmon and cream cheese on muffin

I had to send DS out for the salmon as he'd not taken the hint (detailed convo) we had recently 😅
