Mother's Day - laurat99 - 05-11-2012 10:57 AM
So, what are you doing to honor your mom/wife on Mother's Day this year? If you don't have a great relationship with your Mom, what do you do?
Also, please remember to be kind to those ladies who are NOT mothers on Sunday. Before I had kids, it was a nightmare day at church; if you weren't a mom, then you weren't worthy. There are lots of reasons for not being a "traditional" mom, and some women are ok with it, while others silently greive inside.

My mom has passed on. Our son is getting married on Sunday, so I'll probably take my wife out for lunch and then shopping on Monday. I will give her a card Sunday morning.

I thought it was next week. Hoping to go shopping, but no idea what to get. Last year I got her an orchid that has had a bloom on it everyday since. Thought about a blue orchid since I can see the nursery from my house, but the up charge is huge on those.

Already sent identical cards to mom and MIL. I'll probably call, too. Since both of them live 100s of miles away, that's about it.

If it weren't for my own 2 kids, I'd stay in bed on Mother's Day.
I put on a church face and try to survive the day.

I have a hard time with Mother's Day. My husband and kids do a great job of making me feel special, so that's not the part that's hard. My MIL passed away a few years ago and FIL has remarried, but his wife doesn't fit a motherly role, though she is a wonderful woman. The problem is with my mom. Mushy lovey cards just don't fit. I wish there was a card that said "Have a day". That would be about right. *sigh.

Isn't that what computer-generated cards are for?

I've gone that way a few times, but those are even ridiculously sappy. Seriously, just some black type on a white background would work for me. lol

I saw a snarky card online - it said:
I'm awesome.
You're welcome.
Happy Mother's Day to the luckiest mom!

I have it easy as I can just call and wish my mom a happy mothers day. My wife though has to do something or her mom gets mad. It is also our anniversary so we will be going out on Monday.
