My first mother's day sucked. Mister didn't understand the concept of "My Day". I still had PPD and Timothy was a typical colicky 2.5 month old. It was a rough day with lots of tears even though I was excited to celebrate the day.
But this year was FABULOUS. I didn't change a SINGLE diaper all day. And my Kid pooped 3 times (which is alot). My little boy was so good all day and DH did WHATEVER I told him to do!

DH let me sleep in and later I took a nap. He and Connor got me a card. I know it sounds simple, but last year they did nothing so this was an improvement and I appreciated it.
Our nanny is an angel. She and Connor made a paving stone for the yard with Connor's hand and foot prints, she helped him color a picture for me, and since her dad is a photographer, she had him do a photo schoot of Connor and gave me a framed print and digital copies of the other 200 pictures they took! I'm so thankful for her.
Mine was good!
Hubs woke me up with cinnamon rolls and a beautiful mother's necklace. Aria slept in an extra hour! We went to church and then lunch at my Mamaw's. After that, we came home and put Aria down for a nap, and hubs left to go golfing. Aria took a 4 hour nap, and so did I! It was glorious to get to take a nap alone!
Aria was such a doll all day, happy and smiley, and she gave tons of kisses. Hubs was great too... even down to going golfing. All I wanted was to take a nap in peace, and I got it!

I will hold back the snark on this one - but it is there!
Mother's Day was a typical Sunday at my house - church, groceries and lunch out with DH and LO. The only difference is that I got some cards (Allison "signed" hers) and we went to dinner with my family.
I did get to sleep in a little, but only because Allison did too.
Oh, you stick in the mud! Lighten up and have a little fun!

Overall, I had a good day with my family!
But I was pissed that I got a "Happy Mother's Day" text from my exH but Ian's dad said nothing! I'll keep the rest of my bitterness to myself!
Not about MD in general...but about OP's way of saying "MY day" and DH doing " WHATEVER I told him to do" - ug...
How did you convince her to take a 4 HOUR nap! Good girl Aria!
Look it's MY Day. That's how it works in my family. He will get his Day and I'll do whatever he likes. It's not like I asked him to build a shrine in my honor. It was more like "Can you dress the baby?", etc. If that's not how you guys work, good for you. But what does it matter to you?
Mine was nice BUT my first was way better! H gave me flowers and a card and the BEST part is he wrote me poem from DS and had his handprint at the bottom of the poem, it's titled "Mommy's Hand". I asked him halfway through the day where he downloaded the poem from and he was so offended, haha! He replied downloaded? I wrote that! I then sobbed like a baby it was so heartfelt. My H is an emotional guy but not a mushy guy so I was super shocked! My MIL gave me flowers as well, my SILs gave me cards. We had brunch with my inlaws and a mini impromptu BBQ at home for dinner. I didn't get to see my mom though which kind of stunk but she is sick and I totally appreciated her not sharing with us!
And grandmas that did get their gifts from DS totally LOVED them, which made me very happy!
Beats me. She must have known it was a special occasion! She's a really great sleeper in general though.

My first mother's day, we went out for brunch, but the time we went out was bad, DD cried through the whole thing, and I was a wreck when I got home.
This mother's day, DD came home with a cold on Friday, which DH and I both promptly became ill with on Mother's day... so I'm not having much luck with this mother's day thing.... Although, DH did make me a nice bath to soak in so I could breathe again.

I had a good Mother's Day this year. I woke up and went to breakfast with my mom. While I was gone, DH worked with DD on saying Happy Mama's Day- she did pretty good when I got home. They each gave me a card- DD "signed" her name on one. DH gave me a spa certificate. We then had a late lunch and went shopping. We also stopped and got my free ice cream sundae at Michael's. Then, I did bubbles with DD in the front yard.
All in all, it was a good day!

I had a great Mother's Day with my mom while DH was back at home studying. We went out for brunch at an expensive resort in Santa Barbara (CA), briefly went to the beach, went back to my mom's and net structure to keep birds out of my mom's blueberry bushes, did a little shopping, and then got dessert! I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day, even if Nat was still my responsibility. We just had so much fun!
All the moms got chocolate at church. We went out to lunch and literally got ripped off (manager charged our card more than he was supposed to). Then I got my haircut fixed that I had gotten the day before and the lady had done a crappy job on. DD napped and then we went to the park for a little bit and got milkshakes at Sonic. It was an ok day I guess. I still changed all the diapers, did almost all the feeding, etc as always and DH didn't do a card or letter or anything. He did say some really sweet stuff to me while we were at the park that was Mother's Day related so that was nice.
I don't remember how the day went last year, I'm sure it wasn't great bc of her age and how she was back then.
