6 kids & heard from 3 & 1 only after I said you could say Happy Mother's Day, so guess that really doesn't count.

Kind of makes ya feel like a used rag, kwim? Good enough for all the dirty work & to clean up messes but then tossed into trash when no longer needed.
But bless my mom's heart as she makes EVERY day special. :)

12|5|My boys are too little but my hubby "forgot"|couponshelmd|couponshel@comcast.net|12:15:00|05/11/2009|
did nothing for me from them, did not get me a card for them to "sign" their names, nothing.
He did not even talk to the boys about saying "happy mother's day" to me... sigh.... and to think that I already bought him a nice father's day gift; thinking about returning it, lol.
Kristy, we luv ya girl, and yes, it is just another day to us, even if Hallmark says it is our day :) 13|6|Heard from 1 son today, I told him I'd be sure to forget him next time he was born!!|mo6g02|crazylady47952@yahoo.com|12:26:04|05/11/2009|
Hit home, as he sure apologized over & over again. Hope it made him feel like crap, because that's how I felt. But I'm sure he'll find me when the light bill is due or rent, or they need groceries. Don't expect anything, as I know they have no money but a phone call would have been nice. Seen 2 of them lst night a nursing home, neither said anything. Neither did I, decided if they didn't care anymore than that, neither do I.

14|1|I only work one weekend a month, and of course I had to work Mother's Day...but my son called me at work to tell me Happy Mother's Day and when I got home, there were no messes to clean up....my DH ran to Subway for dinner and got stuff to make hot fudge brownie sundaes...so I can't (and wont!) complain :) I am sorry that some of your families didnt even take a minute to acknowledge your day....I hope they are better at showing you they appreciate you on a more regular basis.|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|12:29:05|05/11/2009|

HUGS 16|1|I happened to watch Rachel Ray on Friday & Sally Field was on|pumamomma|pumamomma@yahoo.com|18:34:02|05/12/2009|
and she must have all sons (anyway that is what I gathered from the conversation) she said he has never once received anything from them for Mother's day.
I totally can relate. I have 2 sons (now ages 20 & 18) and have NEVER received anything from them for Mother's Day except when they were in K, 1, 2 and mayyyyybe 3rd grades in school and the teachers had the kids make something for Mother's day.
Well now I have 2 girls (in 1st & 2nd grades). They along with their dad (my ex) purchase flowers to plant outside for me AND of course they make the school project for Mother's Day. I hope this will continue on with them because it is so hurtful to not get acknowledgement for taking care of MY body during pregnancy in order for them to be born healthy, giving them life, nuturing/caring for them, , etc... throughout their life.
HERE'S A KICKER: Since my 2nd grader was born on Mother's Day in 2000 we have since then celebrated her birthday on Mother's Day because it seems everyones schedules don't allow much time for things so we get together for Mothers Day & her birthday on Mothers Day WELL about 3 weeks ago my sister (this is also the sister that is godmother to my 2nd grader & failed to come to her 1st communion celebration) contacted me & asked if we can do again this year as in the past to do both in one day with lunch, cake & presents. I said, Yep, but I am crazy busy this month so all I will have time to do is get a cake & ice cream. She said not a prob, me & mom will bring the food. OK, so all was set UNTIL Thursday before Mother's Day when apparently my "emancipated" 18 yr old son text my sister asking if he & his GF could come to her house for Mother's Day. So my sister dared to ask to change the plan & switch it all to her house so my son & GF could go there. I said NO, the plans were made 3 weeks ago and that my daughter should have her cake, ice cream & present opening at our home. I told her it is Mother's Day and daughter's birthday NOT my "son's" day! So my sister said well then we will have a dinner at my house for all of us and we will just come to your house for cake. I said NOT A PROBLEM, we will have cake at 2 pm! (Oh, yah I was P.O.'d) so then on Friday my dad called me and asked what the plan was for Sunday, I said hmmmm apparently you haven't talked to mom & sis. Seems they decided to switch the plans to accomodate my son and he said No, now your son & his GF are not coming I said oh well I will see you all at 2 pm for cake. So I stuck to my guns and they were all there at 2 pm for cake. I thought that was so rude.
So yeah I am on board your "Hatred of Mother's Day" train
