Has anyone hinted around about Mother's Day gifts?

I haven't but no one in our family has ever made much of a deal out of Mother's Day. I wouldn't mind having some sort of mother's ring or pendant but I'll be perfectly happy with home made cards.

nope. I will be happy if I get something and I dont have to ask them to get me something.

My mom though made a comment to me about Mother's day and such. I only plan on gettign her a card and maybe some flowers from the girls. Alyssa sings in church that day and I know I will have to work part of the day.

I just upgraded a few things on my puter, so I'm calling that Mother's Day ... although I'll be tickled if I get fed a good meal that I didn't have to cook!

I'll be glad to get anything. I still have to finish this last little bit on my MIL's Mother's day gift.

No, it's not a big thing to me, Billy and the kids always take my to lunch and I get flowers. That's enough for me. I just refuse to clean ANYTHING all day.

I do not need anything. Me and the girls are just gonna have a good day. I hope that it is nice outside so we can have a picnic at the park or something. Butthead always gave me big presents, and while I DID love them, I do not need that. With everything going on, I am just gonna focus on why I am a mother---my girlies.
Cori, however, got $60 from her dad for her report card and she was insisting that she is using all of that plus her allowance to buy me something. I told her that she better not. I am totally pleased with homemade cards and flowers they pick (from the neighbors yards ).

I would like a Mothers ring, but I don't know if that's in the budget. As long as I get hugs and kisses, I'm a happy Mommy!

I get my breakfast in bed, Des and the boys do all the housework and the boys usually stick to a no fighting day

Actually I just realised they hardly ever fight anymore I can't believe I missed that

No, i haven't dropped any hints this year.
Matt keeps saying that I'm not getting anything because he didn't get anything last year (and we were broker and broke last year is why) so who knows..

I know he'll have to work. So I'll do my normal sunday thing.. get up.. make breakfast.. dishes.. then start on laundry.. just a typical day..

What is the point in hinting??? I NEVER have EVER gotten what I have asked for....although Jerry is good at getting me nice gifts...but there are things I would much rather have that would be so nice....like a day at the spa. No kids to whine and scream and cling to me (Nick has been reallyreally really really really clingy lately...to the point he doesn't even want daddy).

I would love to have someone come and clean our house even just once. Ya know....so i don't have to worry about it

I told Jerry I didn't want our usual Brunch thing......that money can be bette spent elsewhere and be more enjoyable. Our brunch place is USUALLY pretty good, but for some reason on Mothers Day and Fathers dayits not so great....I guess because they are so stinking busy that they are trying to get out a whole lot of food at once

My dd was born before mothers day so I already have my mothers day gift. I will probably be taken out to breakfast and that is fine with me.

Cheryl, I am sure that when your times comes to be a parent, Steve will do something very nice.

ydd who is in time now told me yesterday that she knew what my dh was giving me for md & that it was beautiful & I would love it. She said that she showed it to her so and requested that next year she wants the exact same thing. I asked for a hint as whether or not it was jewelry she didn't deny it but said I didn't know what type or what it was; she will give me another beautiful handblown & copper hummingbird feeder or windchime. The edd is going to a resort just outside of Cozamel (?) so my present will be silver& turquiose (?) as for the rest of the kids-who knows. As for my mom, dmil, dgmil, I will be giving them gift cards so that they can by themselves what they would like to have or need & the right size. It's going to be an expensive busy month. Edgd bday is the 10th but celebrating it on the 6th because her mom will be out of town the evening of her bday. The next day is ydd baby shower and then the next weekend is mother's day. And we have our newest dgd due anytime...whew it will be a busy month.

I would be so happy with a flower for my lapel. and one of those worlds greatest moms shirts. Have imagination and be origional.

Dana: I am a parent .. a pet parent but I am a parent. PROUD of it too!

I can't help it if I'm going through infertility.

I don't wanna hear any of this "Well being a mommy to pets isn't the same to being a mommy to human children". I still have to feed them and make sure they have water. I still have to make sure they go outside. I still have to make sure they are safe. I still have to take them to the dr for checkups and when they get sick or something is wrong with them.

I shouldn't be left out just because I don't have a child.

Well Cheryl, then I guess we have a difference of opinion. I have always had dogs, before I was a parent and after. I never even thought about Mother's Day when I wasn't a mom.

Do you get Steve something for Father's Day? Maybe if you did that, he would reciprocate for you the following year.

And no one said it was your fault that you are having infertility problems, I tried for 2 years before we adopted the boys, it's a very difficult thing to go through. I am sorry you felt that I was implying that....

You know what I was thinking Cheryl. When I first "met" you five years ago , you didn't have a good job, you had that albatross house that was such a pain, Steve's job was very unstable and you didn't have your dream house.

Now you have a good job where you are respected, you have another degree and are working on your masters, Steve's job seems to have stabled out a lot, you're rid of the albatross, your dream home is being built, etc. Slowly but surely your dreams are all coming true. And I think this one will too.

It's just really hard this year with your folks and all. I'm sad to say it, but even with a child it will probably be harder next year. Mother's Day was a hard time for me for a very long time after my Grandma F died. I just couldn't help thinking of her all day that day.

I agree Grace.

But if it doesn't happen for us, well I still think we can celebrate Mother and Father's Day in memory of the child(ren) we couldn't have.

Mother's Day will be a lot harder once my mother is no longer here.

Once you have a child you are no longer on the side of wondering if you will ever have one.

I didn't post to argue...I just posted to be included.

I would be happy to get a Mother's Ring or something of that like, but will probably get my usual Transformers and Backyardigans gear.
