[quote=Anonymous]I just realized that my mom is turning 70 in just over a week. I knew her birthday was coming, I just did not realize it is her 70th!

[b]I have never been to her birthday celebration that I did not organize myself.
[/b]
My parents may have celebrated birthdays with friends, but I do not remember ever celebrating mom's bday growing up.

I moved away and called to congratulate her, sent gifts. She often came to visit around her bday time and I always organized a celebration. I either cooked or took her out, gave flowers, etc.

She is here again and her bday is coming up. It's a very busy time for me, I am barely surviving with 5days' RTO, 2 young kids, etc.

The thing is she likes get togethers and celebrations and restaurants, but never organizes any events or get togethers, and I am just over always being the one to organize and host. I was thinking of just getting her flowers this year and telling her that I am here to celebrate if she wants to set something up. But 70 is kind of a milestone, do I force myself to put a celebration together?[/quote]
