[QUOTE="jal, post: 357055, member: 3477"] My difficult child is still young (almost 8) so I get the cutesy things that are done at school and that is just fine. He also likes to make homemade cards for occasions which is cute. As a rule I like a little time to myself and then usually I enjoy visiting my Mom and Dad. Usually, my Mom makes a mean strawberry & rhubarb pie this time of year and has hermom (my grandmother up) and we enjoy that. My B-day also falls before this day and I don't expect anything from husband (on mothers day), but he always comes through with a card or something small. I could have shot him on my b-day this year as he bought me a Pandora bracelet and 3 charms to start off with...so he better NOT buy anything for m-day. My perfect time would be for difficult child to have a babysitter and husband and I to take the boat out on my parents lake. Sun, warmth and relaxation would be heaven! (Especially since we took difficult child out last weekend in the boat and he was a NIGHTMARE!) I called my mom tonight to chat and they were just talking about it again (her and dad). She thought for sure my ears were ringing because of their talk. I'm sure all the people who live on the lake saw my pi**ed off expression when I took difficult child off the boat and sent him to the car! UGH! He's not too fond of being on the boat (can't move around, as he is so active) so I think a lot of it he pulls to get off of it, because once he is home he is just fine. i wish he could just verbally tell me he doesn't want to go instead of acting out. It would make life so much easier! [/QUOTE]
