Mother's Day Plans

What are your Mother's Day plans?

And if you're a SM with SKs seeing BM, do you plan to celebrate at an earlier/later date?

    Our plans: Church, breakfast at Cracker Barrel, seeing a play, then to my parents' house to celebrate my mom.

    I am not even sure what we are doing. H already gave me an early Mother's Day/Birthday gift. SD's BM is working on Sunday, so she will be with us, and my SS will more than likely go to his Mom's. I really just a nice relaxing day.

    It's my first Mother's Day as a mom. Step-kids going to their mom's place.  Me, DH, and baby are going to my mom's.  It's going to be a perfect relaxing day. : )

    Sadly BM has not contacted us about taking the kids...I think we are on week 4 of no contact. Its my first mother's day as a mommy to be. I think dh and skids are getting me cards and a cake. Cake is pregnant me's dream gift.lol.

    DS turns six on Saturday. We are having his classmates/friends party on Saturday night. The kids will come home with me after the party, and then spend Sunday morning with me and J. I think that we will just have breakfast and hang out. I work 2:30 to 6, so during that time I agreed to drop the kids off to XH so his mother can see them.

    After I'm done work and I pick them up we are going to see J's family's to celebrate mothers day and DS birthday with them. They will probably get to bed late Sunday night, its going to be a busy weekend for them.

    Since I'm "just" SM, we're not planning anything.  My mom is going out of town, so I won't see her.  I think DH got me a gift, because he's being really sneaky.  He has the day off Sunday, so I'm looking forward to a quiet day in.

    Don't say that. This board is evidence that in several cases the SM is more of a mom than the BM. Your situation is proof of that. I hope you enjoy mother's day, because you ARE a mom!

    Thanks. I feel a little slighted. But I will enjoy the chill time. I mostly meant that BM has the right to Mother's Day over me. And I can live with that. ETA. I also don't have my own kids yet. So I'll feel more official when that happens lol

    You and DH should celebrate together. DH always bought me a present and got me a card from SS, even before I had my DS. I think being a SM is really hard and it's nice to know your efforts are appreciated. Since you don't have any bio kids and your SC will be with BM, you should have DH take you to brunch and get drunk off of mimosas. That's what we used to do since we didn't have our SS to take care of that day.

    SS2 took me to breakfast that was sponsored by a club he belongs to.  He gave me a plant he grew in school.  He said he had a card too. 

    SS1 has said nothing.

    DH has said nothing.

    We have the boys full time.  BM doesn't have custody nor does she chose to have any visitation.

    Just saw this post, but basically this. DH didn't even think to say/do anything, my mom said something right as we were leaving, along the lines of "oh yea, happy mother's day to you too..." and maybe when SS is older he will call, but no way was BM going to encourage that...Cool to hear about SM day...but doubt anyone else has heard of it either :(
