It's a given you want to be with your children so I did not include that. I have been getting Mom presents for many years but this is the first chance I have ever had to find out what Moms really want. I will abide by the outcome of this poll!

OMG you're kidding?!?!?! It's MOTHERS DAY!!!! It's the day you're supposed to make your mum feel special and thank her for everything you've done!
When I was living back home, I always made mum breakfast in bed, got the papers for her, and cook dinner and do any housework that needed doing. We'd generally go to one of my grandma's and have a lunch with them with all the family who could make it. It's a little harder now I'm overseas, but I still try to do something special (this year it's the trip over to see us), and will always call her and have a good, long chat.
Betsy, maybe you can suggest to her that you put Mothers Day back a week so she can have her birthday, and you can still celebrate Mothers Day with her NEXT Sunday? Maybe that will make her get off her butt and do something nice?
I won't be home for mothers day either. I live 2 hrs away from my mom, and I'll be home the weekend of June 1st for my brothers graduation. With gas being $3.05, I can't afford to drive homeOriginally Posted by Zissou'sMom
So is it bad that I can't make it home for Mother's Day? My mom might actually be working anyway, I'm not sure.
