[quote=Anonymous]Oh, you sound like me, OP, until I realized that I had to be very specific about what I'd like for Mother's Day. Teens are self-absorbed and my teen does everything at the last minute. C'est la vie. I ask for a card--home made, store-bought, I don't care, but I like cards. I'd like flowers (can be from Safeway or Giant)or a plant. Maybe we all go out for a meal, but Mother's Day is crowded, so that can wait. If I'm in a good mood, the day goes well. If my expectations are too high, then...that's on me. It took me a few years of being disappointed to come to this realization, but it works. Same for Valentine's Day, Father's Day (my husband doesn't care about it--we just make him his favorite meal and once a child composed a poem, which he loved). Yes, these holidays are fake but I like them! They make people feel special. Or they're supposed to, any way![/quote]
