Is it expected to do something for a mom for mothers day? Moms would you expect your kids to do something for you?

Well, I agree with you that is a crappy Mother's Day.
It is a pet peeve of mine to see people with a Jumbo Super Duper Size, Extra Fancy, Extra Ingredients Starbucks coffee in their hand while their mouth is complaining that they don't have any money to pay back the money that you loaned them, pay their bills or buy school supplies for their child. Especially when it happens again and again.
If the daughter only had a few dollars to spend wouldn't of it been nicer to buy her mother a special Starbucks coffee to go with the card? I agree that to walk into Mom's house with a $5 cup of coffee for her self and to tell Mom "Sorry that I didn't get you anything for Mother's Day" it was pretty clear that the daughter was only thinking about herself.
Again, if the daughter invited her Mom to a potluck party at her house and asked her to bring her special salad that is one thing but inviting her "to dinner" and then expecting her to bring food for 20 people is pretty outrageous.
It is pretty tacky to say " By the way, you know the gift that I gave you last week? You know the Thank You gift for all of those special things that you did for me? Well, consider it your Mother's Day gift as well."
And, perhaps you son needs a calendar.
That's what I thought. Not laying a guilt trip on any of them. I doubt they even know.
I'm just feeling a little blue and thought I'd follow up here on an earlier post.
I am a mom too and dinner is an every day occurrence and my mother is also DEAD. I am a chef so in my mind..if I would have just taken her to dinner, it wouldn't have been special. I did a few three course dinners for her and took her to the horse races and saw a few concerts in LV. I lost her a few times in LV because she liked to talk to every one at the crap tables. I am sure your mother enjoyed your company but it took more than just "dinner" to have you. You need to show this woman posting some respect... period.
Sounds like you and your Mom had a grand time. What fun.

We had a few "grand" days, indeed! I am not a chef by profession btw but have covered for a few. It's about effort anyway. As to walking in the house with one Starbucks coffee on Mothers Day, I wouldn't show up at all if at least two were in my hand. My mother would have just said 'thank-you sweetheart!' and grabbed my coffee anyway, if only carrying one. After all, it's her day and one day doesn't hold any type of comparison to years, love, difficulties, hick-ups.. and you get the picture.

Too funny. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to grab that Starbuck's cup and say, "For me? Oh, honey, you shouldn't have."
