My wife already told me I have to pay to have her hair done and buy her two blouses, I hate shopping so will just give her $250.00 and be done with it. But Sun we have to go to a bbq at her brothers house and will end up paying to have bbq delivered for about 6 people Including , my wife and kids plus a case of beer, I imagine.
Nothing. My Dad will say Happy Mother's Day and offer to take me out, but I will not accept, it's the day before my Mother died in 2007 and restaurants are too crowded, plus it will be hard for him.
My daughter in Cali will send a card from her and granddaughter! I will spread love to my family and friends that are Mother's but actually just anther day, a sad one!
We go out for brunch, but all my kids live nearby so it's easy to do that. They asked what else I want and I told them to just come over after brunch and hang out; I don't need any gifts. My daughters and I are going to go see Life of the Party and Book Club later this month. We occasionally go see chick flicks that the guys wouldn't want to see.

When you go to a BBQ at someone's house, you have BBQ delivered? That's not "going to a BBQ" where I come from!
I have no kids, but I do have a mom. The last time I took her to lunch several weeks ago she started the conversation with “since you’re doing so well I’ve decided I want to change my will so everything goes to (my brother’s) boys.” Then a pause. To see how I would react. I didn’t take the bait and moved on to something else.
Hubby and I have each called her twice since then and she doesn’t call back. I called one more time today to ask her to lunch. Crickets. I’m pretty sure she’s planning to have the best martyr’s day ever. Which is actually a good day from her perspective. Can’t say I didn’t try.
There is no forcing of adults, particularly relatives and family members and spouses, to behave in certain ways.
Many adults are not malleable in their behaviors, and continued devotion in life is not an automatic given.
