[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 425716, member: 1991"] Hey, hon - at least he was thinking of you. While he got off his derriere and did something useful. So your contribution to his life has not been a total waste, after all. I do not tell my kids it's Mothers Day. No reminding. If they remember for themselves - good. I figure, if I had to remind them, any greeting is not of value. Last year ALL of them wished me a happy mother's day. No cards or gifts, because we don't do that in our family (I'm cool with that, I don't want a gift, I just want my kids to acknowledge my contribution to their lives, it's worth far more than a card or a gift). I suspect easy child got on the phone to her siblings and nagged them. Whatever. They still bothered. The timing was interesting, though - when they get reminded, the text messages go out at the same time, so the kids tend to call right after they get the messages. A log jam of phone calls! It will be just my luck, they'll all call during church when I'm up the front and my bag is down the back. Note to self - must remember to switch off mobile phone... Marg [/QUOTE]
