Mothers Day plans: What are yours?

doll faced sm's picture

I know some people here have no biological children of their own and will not be celebrating, some may not have their biological children due to COs and custody, or any other reason for not celebrating.

For those who will, though, what are your plans?

Mine are brunch, Denver zoo, and possibly a movie.

Ditto, but the fifth time you get asked, "What are we doing for Mother's Day?" well, you pull some plans out of a magic hat.

SD is going to BMs so DH and my two girls and I are going to lunch. Not sure where yet, I am just happy to have the time together Smile

Mothers day tends to get completely forgotten in my house. I don't mind, not the "let's celebrate me" kinds girl. Bs4 will probably bring home some handmade crafts for me from school, and dh might run out and grab a card once he realizes what day it is.

This year I am treating myself to some nice photos of my boys and I. I don't have any portraits of us together so when we go for the baby's 1st birthday session on Friday I am having her take a few of me with both boys and a few with me and each boy individually. That's my mothers day present to myself.

But actual mothers day will probably be business as usual. Me cooking and cleaning and I'll organize a trip to the park of something.

My DH informed me today that "something" will be delivered on Wednesday and it's for Mother's Day.

I don't know if SK's will be here or not. The first few years DH and I were dating they were always with DH on Mother's Day (BM said it's "her" day to do as she chose, and she chose to not have the kids). Over the last 5 years or so, they've been here until Sunday late morning.

But all in all, I'm not too concerned. Actually my DSstb13 has travel sport try-outs on Sunday afternoon so I'll be there.

SO's kids are supposed to be here this weekend; but since it's Mothers Day they have to be back home by 10am on Mothers Day. He gets all pissy because it never seems to fail that every holiday that Horsehead is supposed to have them it falls on his weekend so he feels like he gets the shaft. His holidays always seem to fall on weekends that are already his so he gets no "extra time". I personally don't care. Smile

My son and I are going to a local lodge/waterpark with some of his friends on Friday night; partly for his birthday and partly for mothers day. We have a room for him and I and then we're going to play some more on Saturday. Otherwise, I don't really worry about mothers day.

My mother is 2000 miles away, my step-mother and father are in Hilton Head - so maybe we'll go visit SO's mother for mothers day. or maybe I'll tell him I want to go and see an MLB game.

No bio kids, but my DH will do something for me from our four legged critters, lol. He said something yesterday about needing to get me something because I was such a good mother to his daughters then quickly changed it to 'our kids' - not sure if he meanth his human kids or our canines. Pretty sure I won't hear from the skids, it's only happened one time in six years. We'll probably spend the day working in the yard or fishing, depending on the weather.

You're in Denver too? I just went to the zoo for the first time last summer. It's nice.

My daughter lives in MI with her dad and won't be here till next month, so no Mother's Day plans for me. DH usually does something nice like makes me a nice meal and buys me flowers but other than that, yeah, I don't do much

No bios for me...and it's really becoming depressing. SO is totally clueless. I don't even bother bringing up Mother's Day to him. I'm thinking of sending for my mom and finding a spa for us to relax in this weekend.

I want a huge breakfast I don't care if it's for breakfast, lunch or dinner, I just want breakfast food. I want BM to take her kids because it breaks my heart she's so pathetic she likely won't I will use that against her shitty parenting I swear otherwise I don't care we'll go visit my mom, and SO's mom and have a good day as long as I get hashbrowns and bacon

I can't even imagine how painful this time of year is for you, but I just want to give you a ((hug)).

My mother, stepdather, DH, DD17 and I do brunch the day before Mother's Day to avoid the crazy crowds. Sunday is usually low-key; DH grills something yummy for dinner and then we go for ice cream.

Its a skids weekend and MOTY will probably not even want the boys on Sunday, so we'll have to deal with that on Mother's Day. Skids will whine about getting their Mom a gift, but I am not paying for it, she has a BF/Fiancé who can do that. I'm sure DH will get a text about needing CS early so she can honor her Mother. SMDH.

BS27 is a chef and has to work all day. Maybe he'll make me dinner on Sunday night after the skids go home.

First Mother's Day without my Mom, have sent flowers to her grave already, my parents are in another state and hopefully my Father and Brother will go visit her grave. Smile

I'll be hosting a Mother's Day brunch at home for my mom, aunt, grandma and sister. DH and SS16 will be there, as will my niece and nephew. The skids are supposed to be with BM 8-6 that day, but we'll see.
