Is your family going for dinner, making her breakfest, and are you buying her a special gift? I always went all out for my mother Mother's Day and her birthday. They were her days. How about you?

View Full Version : What are you doing for your mother on Mother's Day? Janice 04-30-2009, 09:14 PM Is your family going for dinner, making her breakfest, and are you buying her a special gift? I always went all out for my mother Mother's Day and her birthday. They were her days. How about you? Faith 04-30-2009, 09:24 PM My mother, nothing. My grandmother who raised me, I am going to order flowers for her. I am going to be out of town on mother's day, for my birthday!!! catlover79 04-30-2009, 09:33 PM No idea as of yet. I'll ask her what she wants to do, and we'll go from there!! :cool: :D Family Ties Forever! 05-01-2009, 12:21 AM I'm not sure yet what we are doing that day. I'm sure it will all depend on if she's actually here.... I bought her a couple gifts and will be getting her a card very soon. The gifts include a plaque and a very cute pink stuffed teddy bear that is holding pink flowers.

Doodyville10019 05-01-2009, 07:29 PM I'll probably go and visit my mom on Mother's Day. It'll be a bittersweet day for me and my husband - my mom is very sick and in a nursing home, and my husband's mom (who was loved by everyone, including me) died 2 years ago. There really isn't much that I can give her that she would appreciate - she has no sense of smell or taste, so flowers, candy, etc. are out. Her room is so small - what she does have barely fits. Maybe I'll just give her a card. Torgo 05-01-2009, 07:49 PM This has been a tradition going on about 10 years now. My family meets my 2 sisters and their families at our parent's house in the afternoon. Then us guys cook the meal, well, one of my brother-in-laws does all the cooking while the rest of us look busy(though I am known to toss a mean salad). Also my mom likes to gather all the grandchildren together and take group pictures of them. Which has been providing me with entertainment the last few years watching my 2 nephews who are in their teens look extremely uncomfortable during this. Plus my wife enjoys it because it gives her an excuse to buy our daughter a new outfit. Brad Russ 05-01-2009, 08:24 PM I'm going to buy her a card, some flowers, and some chocolates. then I'll probably take her out to dinner if I'm feeling better by then. I just want to keep busy, and not think about how Mother's Day is the one year anniversary of me getting dumped by my ex girlfriend. I'm going to try to keep the day about my mom because she's incredible, and deserves it. :) LuLu Rogers 05-01-2009, 08:38 PM My mom likes simple things, so I'll probably get her a special card and maybe have some flowers sent to her at work on Friday :) beautifuldreamer 05-01-2009, 08:40 PM Hmmmm, I don't know what the heck I'm gonna do yet... I'll probably just do some cool stuff like make a card, make dinner for her... maybe we could go on a walk together, go to a late movie... I don't know... I'll think of something. ;) treky 05-02-2009, 02:31 AM our family is gathering at my brother and sister-in-laws house in the afternoon, and we'll have a lunch/tea for both my mother and my mother-in-law.

Where has your actual mother been during your life? Do you hate her? Lee 05-02-2009, 05:06 AM I am taking my mother out to Cracker Barrel in Parkersburg and I am getting Season 7 of Magnum, P.I. on DVD for her.(She is a huge fan of Magnum and Tom Selleck) catlover79 05-02-2009, 12:06 PM I am taking my mother out to Cracker Barrel in Parkersburg and I am getting Season 7 of Magnum, P.I. on DVD for her.(She is a huge fan of Magnum and Tom Selleck) What a great gift. My man, Gregory Sierra, guest stars in an episode of Magnum Season 7. Once Tom Selleck appeared in an episode of Conan O'Brien and said: "Ladies...I'm still looking for Mrs. Baseball." :rofl: MickeyMac 05-02-2009, 01:51 PM I will probably swing my my ma's pad and say hi, happy mothers day. treky 05-02-2009, 09:54 PM I will probably swing my my ma's pad and say hi, happy mothers day. that's ALL???:eek: PlayOn 05-03-2009, 05:19 PM My mother is in Tennessee and I'm in Kentucky. Since I can't drive, I'm going to call her and wish her a happy Mothers Day. When I go to TN for the summer, I don't know if my dad and I will do anything for her not (taker her out, etc.) He may do it on that day. browneyes106 05-07-2009, 11:18 PM I'm giving my a 23 piece silicone bakeware set. browneyes106 05-07-2009, 11:33 PM I won't see my mom till late Sunday evening. I think we will probably go out to dinner or I'll order my mom's favorite pizza. Chocoholic 05-08-2009, 03:11 PM We're just going out to dinner so she won't have to cook ;) Plus, I got her a gift certificate for a spa.

Marvo301 05-11-2009, 06:22 PM Our family had a picnic in the park with Mom. My siblings and I pooled our money and got her a planter full of flowers to put on the deck. |
