Mother's Day
26 Answers
I am confused. You say Mother's day is this coming Sunday, but here in the US its May 11. Who is right, or do you celebrate earlier in the UK?

In 1946 my re-married mother sailed to America as a GI bride.For the rest of her life that caused me a problem with
Mothering Sunday and/or Mothers Day. I had to buy the card
here in England and save until time for posting for the American celebration.
My daughter was born on the 9th May. When I reported this to mother I was in trouble for recording it as 9.5, which to her meant 5th September the previous year.
