[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, nothing horrible. This morning DH ran out and picked up some flowers from the local grocery store.

But definitely none of those fantastic breakfasts made by kids or any adorable heart-felt cards made by kids that everyone's been posting on FB. Definitely no happy photos of happy mom surrounded by happy smiling kids. My kids hate getting their picture taken.

My younger one was at a campout and got back in the afternoon.  He hidn't even remember it was mother's day until i called my own mom and then I got a lukewarm "happy mother's day".  He has ADHD, obviously didn't sleep at the camp out, and is now fighting with DH over something stupid.

My boys aren't sentimental, definitely aren't the stereotypical "boys who love their mommies," and I have basically written off ever having a Hallmark style Mother's Day.  I'll be lucky if they remember to call me when they've moved out of the house.  It helps not to have high expectactions.[/quote]

eh, you didn't call your own mom until late this afternoon?  [/quote]

I called her at 12:30 her time, after she got back from church.  Why do you ask?[/quote]

O.k. I wasn't aware that you were on such different time zones.  It sounded like your son got back from camp in the afternoon and after that you called your mom - which I assumed meant that the majority of the day had gone by until you called her.

Did you send her a card or flowers?  What about your dh's mom?  [/quote]

NP but hell NO do I take care of DH's mom. If he isn't proactive enough to call his own mom ... Ok, that's a total lie. If I send my mom flowers or a card, I'll send MIL the same. But it pisses me off to no end. Not because i don't love her, because it is not ever reciprocated by any man in the world.[/quote]
