Happy Mothers Day Lone Parents!!!!! To the Loan Daddys too who have to be a Mummy

[fairyfly]

Especially if you're kids are too young to have
brought you Breakfast in Bed

xxxx

You're welcome ff, you too, hope you had fun, been sectioned yet, nope, not yet, working on it, opened a bottle of wine though, did you, yes i did

Just tell yourself that breakfast in bed only leads to ketchup on the sheets

This is a nice thread, FF. Didn't see it earlier as was watching wife swap!

I have had a pants mothers day, so was well & truly on the wine too!

Happy mothers day to you too.

your kids, even

Ketchup on the sheets is better than tears

pmsl, that sounds so so so so needy and desperate

PIL helped my kids make cards and buy flowers so I got a nice surprise when I went round to PIL.

My surprise for everyone was the undercooked roast chicken , a gift thatwill last a few days at least.

Ds was a camp this weekend, he was telling me that when the boys had free time and went to the shop there were quite a few that were buying cards and chocs for their mums, I thought that was really sweet .

I had a mothers day card that said

M y mum makes the best dinner

O utstanding at art

T he best mum

E xcellent on Laptops

R eady to cook

It made me wee laughing but he didn't get why

The little ones said

yo luk after me and you love me be cus i love yo

My card said

to muM

amd had lovely flowers on the front.

AND he made me a paper bunch of flowers.

i had a nice surprise got box of chocolates and a card message was really sweet.

good, good

Glad you all had loveliness

MOTER lol

I got sod all, not a card, text, nothing from my ex on behalf of DD, who is 8months. Not how I envisaged my first mothers day, but we went out for a picnic anyway and had a nice day regardless. I won't retaliate though. On fathers day he will have a card from her.

my xp didnt send anything from our son, however my mum wrote me a card and my best m8 slipped one under the door which made me smile lots. I got the added gift of my screaming, tantrum queen 2 yr old niece all day, what a joY!!!

My Ds is 9 now and Dd 14 months.
When Ds was a baby(my very first mothers day), I didn't get a card and it broke my heart...I wasn't with his father, but no one else bothered either.
Last year, my Dd was just 3 months and I didn't get a card from her dad(we are together, but not living together, so I'm sort of single mum-may as well be most of the time anyway).
Men just don't get the emotional sentiment that we Mums want and need.
This year however! I got TWO cards. One from my son who'd put him and sister on it, and another from Dp who'd put both kids on(Ds is not his)...Woo Hoo! People, there is hope for all of us.
