[QUOTE="ML, post: 425393"] Mother's Day can be a land mine of emotions both with our experience as mothers and with our own. I will take mom out to dinner, not sure what I will get her as a gift. It took me so many years to become a mother and for so many years MD represented something I would never know. I've spent the last 12 years releasing unrealistic expectations of what the experience should be and focused on appreciating what it is (Holland:)) I continue to keep expectations of others at zero and sometimes I'm surprised. For example last year my stepsons did nothing and that was ok. I actually thought of them that day because their own mother was an addict and too busy marrying her 7th or 8th husband to bother with them. So last year I called them to tell them what great kids they are and how their mother really missed out. This year my older SS R called saying he wants to take me to brunch. I absolutey love Star's idea of the $20, absolutely briliant. Can I still do that? [/QUOTE]
