just going to pay for dinner this year. mom picks the place. money is a little tighter this year than years past.
the last couple years I have gotten her hanging baskets for the porch. one year it was something that flowered but had to be deadheaded and last year it was 5 ferns.
heard a commercial on the radio about mother’s day, so I had to do some thinking about it. she’ll be ok with just dinner.
I used to buy my mom a hanging basket but my parents live in a condo now. I will probably get her cut flowers
I don’t know what to do with my mum. I’ll probably just send her a text.
I usually take my mom out for dinner as well and tell her to get whatever she wants. Seems like it was mother’s day just yesterday… time is going quickly. Take her somewhere they serve lobster or something else expensive and delicious 
I just usually get my mom a card.
Moms already asking for shoes. So I guess its shoes.
yeah I will suggest a seafood place. I’ve never had lobster and need to try it. sometimes it depends on her mood, she doesn’t always like to go out and fight the crowds. I guess I could cook her a meal if that’s the case, but im not a great cook, will talk it over with her.
and maybe I will get her something, she needs a new lawn chair for when we go listen to music downtown on the square in the summers. music on the river starts in june.
my relationship with my mother is tumultuous
so I don’t know if I’ll be able to fake it
and I bet I won’t hear from my kids
Going to try to get my mom a rose plant for the front of her home.
that would be nice of you. and happy birthday by the way.
sorry to hear that daze. I hope you have a nice mother day though
Not really sure. I’m broke AF. Maybe spend $10-$20 dollars. My niece’s birthday is next month too. I usually spend $20.
Thank you for the happy birthday wishes
My brother and sister and me will try and take mom out for lunch, but if she is having a bad day we will bring lunch to her
my niece is graduating high school next month. im going to give her $100 at her graduation party. the same amount as her sister a couple years ago. $100 doesn’t even buy a textbook these days, I wish I had more to give her. but she gets 2 years of her college schooling paid for, one of my brothers military benefits. he got 4 years school paid for but split it among his two daughters.
It’s the thought that counts. They know you care.
just talked to her. she doesn’t want to go out. she says “men always want to go out for mother’s day, they don’t want to cook” haha. so I guess im cooking and getting her a lawnchair.
mom’s in a mood today. she says she doesn’t want anything for mother’s day. doesn’t even want to grill out. she says “don’t get me anything, I have my own money if I want to buy something. don’t spend your money on me”…haha im still going to get her something, she needs a new lawnchair, that will be under $50…so that’s what she is getting…and dad is getting the same thing for father’s day. but he WILL want to go to dinner.
My mom lives far away. I’m sending her Roses, her favorite flowers.
