2 mummy families- what do we do on Mothers' Day?

[charliegal]

This is our first. Do we treat each other like crazy, have different days or does bio-mum have queen status (it was me torn in two pushing him out, goddammit)? What do YOU do? (all three of you out there).
Or do we ignore the day?

We are away in Belgium this weekend and they have a different day for Mothers' Day, in May, I think. Had we been here, we might have gone out for a nice lunch with our little one. It's all about celebrating how lucky we are that we get to be parents, and that we have one another, isn't it? We go to a church which makes a big deal of us on the Sunday and all the mummies get daffodils -- people ply both me and dp with them on the day, so that's nice.

Well DP and I aren't both Mummies-I am Mummy and she is caled by her name.
I was spoilt this morning,got a lovely lie-in,some fabulouse moisturiser,serum and perfume but best of all some hand made cards from dd.

I got DP a card from DD saying "You are like a Mum to me" which DP really appreciated.

However,she has decided that she will choose her own day and not be defined by a parental descriptor.

Whoooosh (that's possibly too many 'o's..!) - is that because you and dp didn't have your dd together (do you mind me asking?)?

it's our first mothers' day as well and the honour truly belongs to my wife who bore him and pushed him out. DS and I have a special day on the date when i sorted out the parental responsibility order.

dottydot - i too crave to be Bree! But i work full time so have no time for it. House used to be light and beautiful, but now have plastic crap, everything clustered on high shelves and obligitory plastic crap. but i do save baskets to deliver cookies in when i have the chance to bake. and am making individual easter baskets for god(less)daughters

Hi Dotty-no not really-it's a little complicated in as much as we weren't "out" when we had dd but also both of us just kind of agreed it.
We started with a nick name but in the end she wanted to use her real name-it was very much DP's decision which I supported.

We finally got parental responsibility sorted three weeks ago and DP is every inch the parent I hoped she would be.

Smitten - I work full-time as well - am Bree-ish as soon as I get home each day - drives dp bonkers....

Whoooosh - it's amazing how brilliantly adaptable children are, isn't it - it doesn't matter what we label ourselves as, they seem to sort it all out in their heads. For instance ds's Dad lives down the road and they see him regularly. He's got a long-term girlfriend who's lovely and the kids see as well. The other day dp was going through our family make up with ds2, who's nearly 3. Dp was saying he's got two Mummies, a Daddy, and before she could get on to the grandparents, he said "yes and I've got a xxxxx (the name of the girlfriend!)". Quite right!!

Oh yes-they are brilliant at that-just wish we kept the ability they have at that age

Fortunately DP is pretty Bree-ish but travels a lot.We both work full time and the nanny says she can immediately tell if DP is home owing to how full the bin is!
