[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you OP. I struggled too and wound up w a generic card that’s blank inside where I simply wrote “happy Mother’s Day. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Love, us.” don’t even know why I did that because it’s such an empty message/gesture but I think my mom expects it so I do.

I also bought a card that said all the wonderful things that hallmark writes and sent it to my best friend’s mom w a genuine, heartfelt and personal handwritten message inside telling her how important she is to me bc she was more of a mom to me growing up than my own mother was.[/quote]

Too bad you had to make the second card about you. [/quote]

How did i make it about me? I wrote in the card to my BF’s mom about what a wonderful mother she was/is, how loving and supportive and kind and selfless she is. I also told her that she was a wonderful role model to me growing up and that she’s who I look to now for inspiration in my own parenting approach. But sure it was a card all about myself. [/quote]

I’d love to hear more specifics about what she did so I can try and do that for my kids[/quote]

She was always there to listen, not to judge. She was very curious and interested in other people and asked others lots of questions, somehow without being intrusive, just made you feel interesting/important. She was always giving compliments and they were the genuine, specific kind that make you feel seen/noticed and appreciated. Very thoughtful: always remembering important dates and moments and making them special. [/quote]
She sounds like a gem. That’s awesome that you gave her recognition and showed gratitude.[/quote]
