[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 356955, member: 3444"] While my husband has improved over the years with trying to make special days special for me, because of having difficult child's for kids I typically have spent Mother's Day alone with my own mother doing something she and I both enjoy. It's my official break-from-being-a-mom day. It hasn't always been this way, but lately it's what I've been able to do. Last year, I took her to a beautful botanical garden for an al fresco champagne brunch. It was delightful! This year, I was actually toying with the idea of doing something as a family... take a drive to see wildflowers out in the desert or down south at a flower farm... go to a museum or park. But after difficult child 1's phone stunt was revealed in my cell phone bill last night, I'm thinking it's just gonna be me and my mom again this year. :raspberry-tounge: I have to say, my first Mother's Day was awful. husband did nothing, and only decided to get a card for me when I grumbled before we went to church about the fact that he was doing nothing. So he had me wait in the car with difficult child 1 after church while he ran in to the drugstore to buy a card. If I was mad before, I was livid by then. :angry: He hasn't made that mistake since.
