Just wanted to wish a happy mothers day to all single mums out there like me who might have someone to make a fuss of them.

I really hope you all have a lovely day

Nappyaddict, mine did it all on their own. they dont really see their dad much at the moment and I dont speak to my mum. I would love to have a good relationship with a mother but not mine! My dad has just been diagnosed with cancer so dont think he woudl remember but it is not like blokes to remember anyway.

Aw, glad you all had a lovely mothers day!

DS planted a sunflower for me but unfortunately ate most of the soil and I think the seed when I wasn't looking.

And my lovely friend sent me a card in case DS 'forgot' - not a cat in hells chance of XP getting me anything, LOL.

Happy Mother's Day!!

I have spent all week with my mindees preparing gifts for their Mum's so I made my own gift from my ds!! I was a little disappointed that he didn't make a card at school though.

He very lovingly drew me a picture of a monkey swinging on a tree this afternoon!!!!

HI Happy mother's day everyone.

My dd came in with a card made at school, which was very pretty, and then she got intno bed with me and we had a real laze for about an hour.

I got a play food breakfast and pretend cuppa- she's only 4! She said 'sorry I cant make you a real one mummy'-- i almost cried!

We went out for some lunch, then to the cinema. She bought me a teddy in the newsagents!! I will treasure it forever.

Hardly thought of dh, we had a great time.

i'm glad its not only my parents and ex's that didn't think to get anything too then. although for those thats parents didn't it seems its cos they are ill, too far away or no longer with us. mine just didn't think. don't suppose it's really their job too though. it's such a hard day for single mums i think.

mogs0 · 19/03/2007 18:55

Both my 2 sisters and Mum thought one of the others would do a card but ended up no one did. Sometimes I feel very sorry for myself then the rest of the time I put a smile on my face and just get on with things!!!

I almost bought myself a card in the village shop, but decided that was too sad. So I bought myself a ton of chocolate instead!

Lovely day!!
