For mummies - kids who ignore Mothers day.

[Smowball]

Do you get upset,or annoyed if your children ignore Mothers day repeatedly, and I obviously mean children who are of the age when they can buy a card and post it themselves . Or would it not bother you?

[ummmm]

It would bother me. Very much so.

Offspring no. 1 & 2 usually "forget" (i.e. can't be bothered). I'm used to it. Offspring no. 3 more than makes up for it - he would spend every penny he had on me if I let him

I think it's mean to ignore Mother's Day. I enjoy making a fuss of mine.

[pdust]

it has bothered me in the past but only to the extent of a 'tut cheeky sods' now it doesnt bother me, in fact ive told them for years not to bother...

[Smowball]

Every single year is the same - one child never ever sends me a card, one always posts it late so it arrives the following week, which it pointless in my opinion, and one always says its "got lost in the post". Cant help it, but todays post has arrived - no cards whatsoever AGAIN and im upset.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Smowball - you can be my Mum for the day xx

[mrs_overall]

Awwww Snowball, don't get upset. Kids are self centred creatures who cannot see beyond the end of their noses, but that doesn't mean they don't think the world of you.

[Smowball]

Awww thankyou chaptazbru : )

(Bloody kids!)

[erin-x]

It bothers my mum that my brother forgets. It's not just that he does forget, it's the excuses he comes up with.

What Mrs O said is very true.

[pastafreak]

It has-and will upset me. This will be the 4th year I won't see lil pasta.....last year she was in OZ....the previous 2-I got texts around 3-4pm of the "oh-by the way...Happy Mums day"...but no cards-nothing. So-I don't really expect anything-but I'm tied up in knots over it already :-(

[mrs_overall]

I lied in my first answer. Yes it does upset me but I try not to let it show

[Smowball]

pastafreak, I know exaactly how you mean. Mrs O - yes you are probably very right.

[mike11111]

I am sure that there are many of us older folks who would relish the opportunity to buy a Mothers' Day card.

[pastafreak]

((((HUGS)))) to you Smowball....and nothing in the post here,today either.

[Kiki-frog]

I always by a card and a little pressie for Mr Frog's mum and pretend it's from him, as if I left it to him he wouldn't do anything. And it's not that he's not bothered, it's just not on his radar.

[Smowball]

mike, I lost my mum 2 years ago aged just 59 and I would give anything to have been able to buy her a card today.

I've Had two cards in the post today one from offspring no1 who lives in Hertfordshire & one from no/22 wholives in Kent.
My baby lives up the road & will be spending tomorrow morning with me. the afternoon is spent with her Mother-in-law. Being as she's a Floral Designer I know I'll be given a fantastic Flower arrangement & my G/children will give me posies (Can't wait)

One of mine started forgetting. Last year I bought a beautiful card, signed his name, posted it to myself and thanked him with tears in my eyes. Really confused him but I got one this year.

"& one from no/22 who lives in Kent"
For God's sake, woman, how many kids have you got? You deserve a medal.
