Mothers Day for single mums

[Strix]

This is my first Mother's Day post separation. Just wondering what other single mums do on Mother's Day?

I've booked a table at the local pub for me as my two. DP is making alternative plans as DS (teenager) doesn't like him.

I'll give DS money to take his little sister out to buy me something. DP was all set to do that but DS offered so it's a better idea the siblings do this together. DP will be around in the morning to help with breakfast (can't imagine the teen will get out of bed to do it)

Ex H will not likely contribute.

I made the decision to make iMother's day a big deal. DC still young. (Eldest is 5). I buy a relatively expensive gift (a treat for me) and get them excited about it. That I wrap it with them passes them by. They love giving it to me anyway and get excited if I am happy. When I was with ex he basically ignored the day so been nice to make it special for us now. Same with my birthday - I try to communicate I am special - doesn't matter if it is me that buys the pressies etc. You are in charge of how the day goes now. Don't leave it to DC. They will follow your lead xx
