[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Discuss plans with your spouse/children/other family members and make the plans you want
2) Cancel [b]or adjust[/b] plans you don’t want to go through with
3) Ask your children and/or your spouse for a specific gift or experience
4) Tell your spouse what you will not be doing, so it’s clear that you are not buying gifts or making plans for someone else
5) Plan exactly the day you want and inform people what you are doing

There’s still time. No excuses, no whining. [/quote]

I shouldn't have to. If my family does not know my likes, food preferences, etc. after 15-25 years (depending on who it is in the family), then yes, I do get to be upset. I do not ask for a big production. I don't demand a "Very Special Day." I do expect a little bit of thought by them, or for THEM to ask me. I'm not planning Mother's Day after planning every other holiday and birthday. I'm just not. [/quote]

Enjoy your Day o' Bitterness! I took two seconds to tell DH and the kids that this year I will be going to the spa and I want to come home to a clean house and Chinese for dinner. Guess what I'm getting? Exactly what I want.[/quote]

Good for you? I'm the PP you're responding to and, mercifully, I don't have to do that. My dh is not a child. He knows my preferences after 20+ years. As he should be expected to.

But aren't you just a delight! Wishing ill on another mother on mother's day! Your own mom must be so proud of the job she did with you. Nasty piece of work. [/quote]

It’s not “wishing ill” to tell repeat whiners to speak up instead of stewing in bitter silence. :)[/quote]
