I love my mom and I want to GET something really special for mothers day but I can’t think of anything!!! The only thing I can think is getting a big musical card and giving her jewelry or a watch (she wears watches a lot).For all the moms out there What are some things that you would want for mothers day?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

all these fathers day ads suggest that you should buy your dad a grill, electric power tools, flat screen tv, & etc . Things that aren’t exactly the most inexpensive gifts.

Yet for Mothers Day ads suggest we should buy flowers, chocolate, giftcards//postcards, & stuff of that nature for our mothers. Like the only expensive present idea that’s ever advertised for mother’s day is jewelry, but then again in the commercials you always see the husband buying that for his wife.

isn’t that a tad bit odd? lol

i want to make some jewelry for mothers day but i dont have any jewelry making wire or anything please help thanks!

I am tossing up against Britney Spears Curious (or Fantasy) and Elizabeth Taylor – White Diamonds

I have under to spend …

There is a good deal for mothers day right now – Britney Spears Curious normally – now (with free bag – which looks like crap .. lol)

Or white diamonds – – (depends what size you get)

i was also thinking about Red Door – ??

okay this is not traditional, no my mom is not dead and I dont hate her, actually I love her to bits.

But I cant stand the concept of mothers day, and she does not want to go anywhere. She will be working on that day and really doesnt want to go eat out. I dont mind and neither does she.
My dad seems really set on taking her out, being upset that I didnt talk to him about where to take her out since Im not working and we have been through alot (There has been alot of stress with me getting dismissed form college).
I have a feeling he only wants to take her out because he feels that way we will have to take him out for fathers day. He nows I do not like him as a parent and not so much as a person either.

These holidays are a wretch in my side.

My church is having an M-day banquet, she is going to that.
right now I have 10 dollars and gotta go out to find a darn gift. I lost the card so I have to get that too.

How can I deal with this? I hate it all SO MUCH!!!!

Isn’t it funny that we moms always have the perfect advice to give, but when it comes time to needing advice we cant use what we have given?? So I guess I am seeking advice, this will probably be geared towards the mommies out there that have a large brood like mine =) So, I am trying to get all of my kiddos on a schedule, I mean I have everything on a schedule, But I need to find a way to juggle the one billion things that are going on, maybe if yall have any tips or ideas that work for you? We have access to a mothers helper, and I would like to utilize her the best way/time posssible, so maybe yall could add input on when she should come! Any quick ideas for dinner, or breakfast also greatly appreciated! This is really Long!! SUPER SORRY, but I try to be as detailed as possible!! Nothing is set in stone!

AND WE START THE DAY OVER AGAIN!!

T/TH

Basically the same schedule as above, except the girls have no class, and Kaitlyn doesnt get picked up until 4:30, and this is my errands day, plus the girls have gymnastics at 10:30-11:15! Oh, and the girls dont get dressed and eat breakfast until we get home from dropping the other kids off!!

Fridays- Girls have no class, boys have sports practice from 6-8pm, husband is coach

Saturdays- Family Days, housekeeper comes, so we have to be gone from 1:30-4pm
Sundays- possible church, Shopping (takes most of the day up)

Also, there are days when my husband is not home until 6:30, and he is a doctor, so he is on call 24/7.

I know we have a "schedule" so it seems, but I need a way too not be gone so much. Mothers helper can pick kids up if need be, what time/days do you think are best? We can only have her 3 days out of the week, as neighbor has her others.

THANKS SO MUCH, AND SUPER SORRY FOR THE RAMBLING!!

My ex spouse and I have a three year old who is obviously not old enough to buy presents. Is it looked at as weird or a nice thing to do to buy gifts for your ex spouse on like there Birthday or Mothers Day or Christmas from your child?

Why are we as men supposed to do something for every female we know who happens to be a mother? I always thought of Mothers Day, as the day for people with Mothers to do something for their Mothers. My wife didn’t care about our anniversary, but she is sure expecting me to get her something for Mothers Day. She’s not my mother. She is a mother. I have step children with her. But I don’t think they should be expecting all that, except from their children. Another person is asking if I sent my sister any thing; she’s a mother, and if I’m doing anything for my brothers wife, etc. etc.

For whatever reason, if she died, especially if you have become estranged, how do you deal with it?

This will be my first Mothers Day totally estranged from mine, and although I never want to see her again, as a concept, I am feeling very sad.

I am making a movie for my mom for her birthday or mothers day. can anyone give me a list of songs that deal with mothers.

thanks
