A picnic would be fun! My mother’s birthday is May 4, so my family always celebrated her birthday, and she didn’t care about Mother’s Day, although we made things in school most of the time.
It’s nice of you to work the Moose Lodge for people whose mothers are living. My brother would always volunteer to work holidays when he was in the Air Force so troops who had families could be with them.
That always struck me as bizarre. To celebrate Mothers Day she wants to be away from her children. Sounds like my ex.
I once asked my Dad what he did for mom for mothers day. He said, “nothing, she ain’t my mother.”
Or use caps and punctuation.
The idiot dad deserves to have his money yanked.
My favorite Mother's day gift was from my ex husband. He decided I needed a mop & wringer thing, like you see in schools. I was in shock for days. No dinner & the kids were little so I was mad. On Father's day, he didn't get the dinner & fishing stuff he wanted. He got a Big Stinky Fly Trap & a pooper scooper.
LOL! My brother and I did that. I think Mom must have sold all the extra tools at garage sales while Dad was at sea.
Now a mop is weird.
I cherish the things that Jax has made for me for Mother’s Day, even before she started school my husband would help her make something for me.
When I get to the Lodge tonight I’m going to talk to the PTB to clear it with them that I may be a few minutes late opening on Sunday. There’s a special service at Church and all the kids will be reading prayers and a few sentences they’ve written about their moms. Service is at 10:30 and I’m supposed to open up at noon.
I’ve cleared it with 1 of them already — my husband, and I don’t expect any problems with the other 2
It was & I said ex husband lol. However we ended up best friends & that is great for the children we have together. I get great presents from him now for holidays, gift cards! Strange...he didn’t act that nice when we were together. Shaking my head.
This doesn’t surprise me in the least. I’ve seen so many single mothers who do these things to continuely justify their poor life decisions. They act out their selfish misery on any man who crosses path with them and the fathers of their children. Their selfishness, entitlement syndrome, and self-victimization is unmeasurable.
Even worse, they try to pass their manhate onto their children by constantly badmouthing the fathers in front of their children and all men in general. And don’t get me started on how they will blackmail the fathers with the time they can spend with their children in exchange for money.
Nah, that would make them look bad :-). I'm sure your church service will be adorable. And this reminds me I should be working on our music for Sunday! Maybe there's an easy Spanish song for Mother's Day in one of my books.
I've heard others, of both sexes, say that. It's a mystery to me!
While I don’t approve of the mother pretending to be her daughter, it sounds to me like someone, namely the author, needs to buy a gift for himself...some thicker skin.
Lot of judging and assumptions here -
but, at least there are some who get that, obviously, the father was neither fooled nor the mother trying to fool him - it was just a way to remind him that she is still the mother of HIS child.
He wasn't forced to do a thing. He did it voluntarily -
Bottom line: none of us here in cyber land know the circumstances that resulted in them not being together - so to auto-fault her is sefl-righteous, at best.
I say, good on her - she wasn't blackmailing him nor even 'tricking' him - it was a unique way to remind him that they share a daughter - and he was free to reciprocate or not.
Well, he’s right!!!!
KUDOS!
I think this is a great tradition more should adopt. It teaches kids, for one thing, that birthdays aren't all just about GETTING - but appreciation for the mother that chose to give them life and who loves and cares for them -
So - pooh on you naysayer judgmental elitists
Um, no he doesn't.
PRICELESS!!!!
LOL!!! You're right because one of them is one of the gals I'm covering for!!!! Good luck with the music hunt!
In this case, yes he does. If he believed his 4 year old typed that email, he is an idiot.
