[QUOTE="P-nut2004, post: 425282, member: 11740"] As far as my mom goes mother's day is bittersweet; she was an alcoholic when I was growing up and has since recovered but has not really been part of my life since I was 15 & left home. We have developed a phone & online relationship slowly over the last 5yrs, she lives 3000 miles away and we maybe talk once a month, it almost never goes well. I have seen her 6 times since I left 14yrs ago (2 of those I made the effort to go see her). It is very saddening to me that she is still somewhat there but was never a mother and will never be a grandmother to my girls.....but she is a 'wonderful' grandmother to my step-sisters' kids and has been their 'second mom' for years now. This may all be too much information but it helps to vent LoL So at any rate I usually send her a card, this year my little brother (who I raised) and I sent a bouquet to her so Im sure she'll be shocked. It always takes alot out of me just to pick out a card because they all seem to say things I dont feel.....given all of this Im not really a fan of MomsDay As far as my mothers day plans Im sure the girls will make me some cute stuff, they always do & I love it. husband has improved over the last few years, the first 5 he did nothing & of course the kids were too little so I only got what they made at school & daycare.....now he atleast makes sure to do something but it usually involves me getting a 'day off' where no one else does anything either so I have double to do the next day. Also, we have had several very bad mother's day experiences....so yeah, not a fan and not looking forward to it, that way Im not disapointed Sorry for being such a downer, I really do hope you all have a Happy Mother's Day :flowers: [/QUOTE]
