[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 271230, member: 3419"] Lizanne, JoG took the words right out of my mouth. How old are your kids? I think it is a parent's job to teach. If Mother's Day is something important to you, tell your kids that it is and you expect some sort of special attention. For most little kids, a hand made card is appropriate. Also, point out that most mothers spend time with-their own families that day, so they are not to pester their friends. If your kids are older, and here it sounds like you don't have a husband to point out the importance of the day, I'd just do whatever I want, as the moms here suggested. Go for a walk, see a movie, eat chocolate. Do NOT wait on them. You get a day off. If they complain, calmly tell them that you are taking the day off. In fact, tell them the day b4 so they can be sure to make themselves PB&Js if they don't cook. [/QUOTE]
