[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 271285, member: 6705"] [B][I]They [/I][/B]are the ones who are being ungrateful to you. My mom loves to cook. So for Mother's Day, my Dad and I have in the past schemed up something that she can play with. Dad gave her a heads up, then he and I would prep [I]everything[/I]. I'd go get some kind of wine she hadn't tried, Dad would do flowers, and then we'd let her do her thing. We sat at the kitchen counter so we would be out of the way but right there to help. (This is how I learned to cook, by the way. Helping.) Since I met husband, all that flew out the window! With BM and difficult children it's been crazy. So usually Mom and Dad come up, husband grills steaks or something, and we sit around. 2007, I threw a party for both Mom and mother in law. Just family! Moms, my dad, us, sister in law and her kids and grandkid. We had hotdogs and hamburgers and just goofed. It was wonderful. But I agree. It should be about the mother. Not the kids and what they think should be a good way to do things. [/QUOTE]
