[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 593832, member: 15810"] The worst Mother's Day I ever had was the year I was totally forgotten. husband didn't take the kids to get me anything. Not even a card. difficult child left the gift that he made me in his classroom at school. The only thing I got was from easy child who was in pre-k at the time. Then we went to the nursery to get a plant for husband's mom and he bought me whole flat of flowers that needed to be planted, which to me wasn't really a present. It was just something that made more work for me, especially because I had been telling husband for weeks what I really wanted for Mother's Day, and a flat of flowers was not it. This year my sister in law and brother in law, who have no children, decided that spending the day out at the east end wineries would be a great way to spend the day. When I was told this I asked, "What am I going to do with two kids out at the wineries?" Then I was told that if I wanted to go I could leave them home. Now, while I'm all for taking some time away from my motherly duties every now and then, IT'S MOTHER'S DAY!!! My kids might want to see their mother on Mother's Day. So we were told that if we wanted we could come for the barbecue they were having after they get back. I'm thinking about pleading a migraine so I can eat and leave because in all honesty I'm really annoyed that this was what they planned. [/QUOTE]
