"Ignore today, if your kids only care about their mom one day a year what kind of kids are they, make every day mothers day"

Macgeek so sorry for your loss. This first Mother's day without her will be a hard one for sure. Your Mom sounds like a wise woman and without a doubt will be missed throughout the year.

My mom has been dead for five years now. Her advice was always along the lines of, "The world is a hard place. You have to fend for yourself." I'm not sure I agree with her hard scrabble perspective, but she was big on self reliance, and it has served me and her other children well.

Now, here's a question for all women in general, be you a mother or not. What was the best advice your mother ever gave you regarding men, relationships, and/or love?
My mother told me it would be wrong to marry for money.

So, only see rich men until you fall in love.

My mom told me that women like good dancers...
It's her best because it's the only one I've found to be true...

My mother never gave me any advice, my father raised me.

His advice was - "Beauty fades - stupid is forever. Be an intelligent, conversant, hardworking independent cuss with a great laugh and sense of humor, find someone who appreciates all of that, and you'll have found someone to grow old with."

He was right.

My mother has given me a lot of advice over the years, but to me the most important thing she has done is SHOW me how to be a wife and mother. She has always loved my dad with all of her heart; she trusts him, adores him, and respects his opinions. Watching the two of them together, you can just feel the love. Also, she has always let me make my own mistakes and learn from them. She taught me the importance of education and making your own way as a woman, and she made me believe in myself. I love you Mom.
