[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 531088, member: 135"] Mothers Day has always been one of my least favorite days of the year. I would skip it entirely (if I didn't mention it I'm sure it would never enter my kids' minds) except that my 97 year old mother is still around to celebrate. Now that my kids are adults it should be better and I guess it is but I still have problems with it. Older difficult child is doing OK but he informs me that in his house now live his wife, her two kids, his girlfriend and her two kids (it was wife's idea) and two dogs. :slap: I asked him if he was coming for Mothers Day; he said only if I buy him gas (he lives about 100 miles from here). I suppose I will because of Grandma. Other difficult child and wife are working on the foundation of their house, trying to get moved back in so they won't have to pay rent where they are. They continue to need money daily. I don't often help but I did give him my credit card to help buy stuff to get the house in shape. It has a $3000 limit; I had worked all last year to get it paid off and hadn't used it. He is supposed to pay whatever he charges but he charged up to the limit on **** and still doesn't have the house done. So if he doesn't pay, I'll have to. difficult child and wife both took the week off to work on the house and they have friends coming so they "don't know if they can make it" for Mothers Day or not, even though they'll just be around the corner. difficult child 2 says he really doesn't want to see difficult child 1 so maybe he'll just not come. I've reminded him that this may be Grandma's last Mothers Day but he says I've said that for the last 10 years, so what? A perfect day for me would be to lock the doors and sit and read a book with the dogs and maybe grill myself a steak and splurge on a hot fudge sundae. Not much chance of that, I guess. I'll make a meal that some of us will eat and clean up and nobody will notice and I certainly won't get a card or even a thank you. If you are reading this and you don't have kids yet, don't.
