Mother's Day Musings

hoping4sticky

DH asked what I wanted - I said to sleep in. DH probably forgot about mother's day and asked to go doy boy things sunday night, not normally a big deal, but I was slightly annoyed that I would have to feed and put the kids to bed by myself on mother's day.

Is it bad that my mother's day wishes revolve around not seeing my children? LMK

ah........no!

No way! And then when they're in high school we'll probably be begging them to spend Mother's Day with us!

I want my H to do stuff around the house. I have a crazy case of nesting. My mind cannot stop making lists and feeling like everything is dirty and unorganized. Fun mother's day.

Probably on the tri and month boards, but not here.

LOL!  I don't care what other people want to do.  And while I get the concept that you celebrate Mother's Day BECAUSE of your kids - the fact is that I am w/ him almost every single day the rest of the year.  If it being my "special" day means I have an excuse to go do something for ME - heck, I'll take it.

Now, granted, as I write that, our plans revolve around us hosting our parents at our house, so I'll be "working" most of the day.

I don't think there is anything wrong with that.  I just want someone else to deal with the meltdowns.  Or maybe DS could have a few less toddler meltdowns on mother's day.

Not at all. It is a day to show appreciate for all the work you do. Whatever that means to you (within reason) is legit.

I would wish for the same thing in all honesty. Won't ever happen though. Instead I am getting a new Keurig and going to a family potluck. Which is fine. Not a big deal to me.

I'm pumped to have a little quiet time.nbsp; SD will be with BM, since she's the one who gave birth to her and all.nbsp; Even though I'm the one who lives with her 26 days a month.nbsp; NBD.nbsp; Mother's Day for stepmoms = Naked Sunday.

Love it.

Mother's day gets a little odd around our house because DW always wants to see HER mother, who of course wants to see DS. This makes it very difficult for me to plan anything beyond the morning.

All I want for Mother's Day is to be able to choose the things I want to do. That means I want to play with DD and have fun, but I do not want to bathe her, feed her, wipe her butt, etc. lol! I also do not want to be the one up with her when she wakes at 6:30 AM. I cannot remember the last time I got to sleep past 6:30 AM.

Nope. I want to go get a pedicure and lunch or something with my mom, no kids allowed!
