to be dissapointed in not getting aany flowers or gifts for mothers day

[JeanPoole]

i did get a card, dd is only 21 months.
so of ciurse its upto dh to sort.

would have really loved a bunch of daffs or something though

my dd is only 21 months old!

I got a card from DD (2.5), made at nursery, a little crispie cake, also made at nursery (well, there was a cake, but DD firmly ate it herself ), and nothing from DS (6)because he was off school on Friday so couldn't bring his card home

However, I did get loads of hugs and cuddle and him telling me how much he loved me and he hoped I had a nice Mother's Day, so I am not complaining at all

My presents were plonked on my chest at 7 am when I was still pretending to sleep, son stage-whispering WAKE UP ITS MOTHERS DAY!

A comment from DS(7) this morning 'that another mother's day over with for another year!', said with relief in his voice. Said because on Saturday I explained that he would have to use his pocket money to buy me flowers for mother's day (£1 daffs from the local supermarket). He sulked, dragged his feet and moaned because 'why should I spend my money on flowers?'- (he is currently saving up for a DS game). Eventually I got so fed up with the inconsiderate brat that I went and took the money out of his money box, took him to the shop and made him buy the flowers.

Harsh? Cruel? I think not! He will learn to be considerate towards other people!!!

This morning he did give me a kiss and a cuddle and said he loved me and added the above comment.

My 6 year old made me a card at school. I didn't get anything from the 8 year old. DH cooked dinner (but he often does on Sundays). Flowers would have been nice. Mind you, DH never gets his mother anything either. My mum died last year so this was the first Mothering Sunday I didn't have a mother to send a card to/ring up. Felt rather strange.

DD's best contribution was to keep asking me 'are you having a nice mother's day?' in a concerned tone of voice every hour or so.

Whilst I was emptying the dishwasher.
Whilst I was cleaning the cat litter tray
Whilst I was standing in an icy wind up on the hills while DH and DD flew a kite (a picnic was my mother's day treat)

But TBH they were all making an effort, even DS#1 was dragged away from his one true love (X-Box) for a few hours. And they all behaved so well, no bickering, all happy and good-natured.

I'm going to be a single mum and had braced myself for the next few years with nothing when a friend handed me a card and said @I will make sure you never get forgotten'
I cried my eyes out when I saw she had brought a card from my bump....only a woman could be so sweet!

I didn't get anything...not even a happy mother's day. Well we were coming back from holiday, so perhaps, perhaps I may forgive them. but I have said I expect a re-run next sunday.

I got nothing and dh had a 3 hour lie in! ah well
