Okay. Question time: What was the absolute worst gift you ever got for Mother’s Day?
We already had Mother’s Day in the UK and this year I got a husband and four year old on day two of the chicken pox (the day of the temperatures, beginning of scratching and extreme grumpiness) and a 16 month old with molars coming through. It was stellar.
The six year old clawed it back by writing me a poem while I was making everyone breakfast at the hour I thought I would still be in bed that they either didn’t fancy eating or threw on the floor in a toddler strop. That poem was pretty special but the rest of the day was poop. Especially the bit that actually was poop, when the baby had a huge nappy blowout. Good times.
You, my dear, deserve a re-do.
Yes, a definite “do-over” is needed for you! Celebrate the American Mother’s Day Sunday, May 10th!!
I’ll do that, thanks! Will inform the now pox-free husband….
Nothing. Husband left that day for 2 weeks in Hawaii for work. Meanwhile I was in my first trimester with twins and super sick. My 2 year old’s teacher had the kids make handprints that read, “this is the hand I used to hold when I was XX months old” abs my kid’s age was wrong and they misspelled her name. Worst mothers day ever.
A pooper scooper to help pick up dog s#!t in the backyard. It was wonderful…not!
Every year my husband has to go to the Governor’s Hurricane Conference. Every year the people at the Governor’s Hurricane Conference schedule it ON MOTHER’S DAY. Every.Damned.Year. Seriously. I think they hated their mothers or something. Anyway – we’ve not had a year where I got to celebrate it with my family yet – but that’s okay because he does end up making up for it when he gets home. I just wish the people scheduling the damn conference would look at a schedule next year and not do it on MOTHER’s DAY weekend! #noimnotbitter
My husband doesn’t believe in mother’s day.. So i take our son and the CC and go crazy 🙂
Thankfully my mom, sister, brother and son make the day special.
Last year, my husband got up early and made a beautiful breakfast of eggs benedict, hash browns and fruit salad, which he does not normally do – he was so proud and I was so surprised. We had just sat down to eat and I was taking my first bite when my then 3 year-old projectile vomited all over the table, the food, herself, me, everything. The rest of the day was spent cleaning up the mess, doing laundry and taking care of sick kids (her 1 year-old brother started getting sick shortly after too). Stomach flu – the worst Mother’s Day gift ever.
The whole family went to a fancy brunch…long story short, the 1 year old managed to get his hands on a knife, and after trying to figure out why he was screaming, my husband and I spent mothers day in the emergency room with a cranky, bleeding child. Ruined my favorite shirt too! (The 1 year old was fine. No stitches, just some surgical glue). And my inlaws want to go back to the same place this year…sigh.
My first mother’s day I got…nothing. And I quote my husband: “I gave you stuff for last mother’s day! Do I have to do it every year?” Mind you, the previous mother’s day I was only pregnant and had yet to painfully expel, after 37 hours of horrible labor, the fruit of his loins.
Nothing or a headache. Had a mother’s day while 8 months pregnant. Husband took me out for a nice breakfast and about half way thru I got such a bad headache that I threw up breakfast and spent the rest of the day in bed.
I never realized how good I’ve had it until now! Last year I finally planned my own Mother’s Day weekend. Beach trip with in laws, runs at dawn, and pedicures with daughter & MIL & made the guys stay home with my 1yo & grill us some burgers. If you want a good Mother’s Day, you have to plan it yourself!
What a great gift guide!
I think I may just have to gift myself the Wonder Woman cuffs!
I love that you included Punjammies! They are on my wishlist 🙂 (and what a good cause!)
