Do You Have Plans for Mother's Day? Or Do You Not Know What the Day Will Bring? (celebrate, mother-in-law)

[nobodysbusiness]

Just curious if those with kids already have plans for Mother's Day, or do you just wait and see what your kids might do to celebrate it?

No plans to celebrate Mother's Day. They will probably do something at church in the morning. We don't really celebrate it at home. We have no need to commercialize love and respect.

My son will fix breakfast for me, his wife, and mother-in-law....with help from 5 yr old and the 2 1/2 yr old. Ha! He is a good cook.

We dont celebrate it. Just another Hallmark moment that feeds the flower cos and card cos.

This year we are having a Double Graduation on Mother's Day - Two youngest daugthers, one High School and the other Graduating from Northern AZ University with BS Microbiology.

I know exactly what will happen on Mother's Day!! The exact same thing as the last 20+ years.



Nothing.



Yes, I have two kids. One is 54 and the other 56.

I told them a long time ago, I don't need anything, save your money and don't need to fight crowds in restaurants...Treat me nice every day. Some years I am surprised with a flower at my door but don't expect a thing. Some times a gf and I will go out on the day before for early dinner.

My BIL treats everyone to brunch at a country club near where he and my sister live. It is usually them, their daughter, my daughter, my mother, my BIL's sister and brother, and my BIL's brother. The restaurant has a nice buffet brunch.

My daughter usually gives me a small gift, like a plant or a candle. I am happy with that. I usually get my mother the English Toffee she likes. We never did big MD gifts.

My son, who has his own trucking business, is away most of the time. He was in this week doing his medical certification, so I had two days with him.

That is a gift!!

My son lives 5 hours away. He usually calls me. But as it happens he will be home this weekend for a graduation, so we will have the day together for a change.
