Today my husband took our son to the indoor playground, leaving me with a good four hours of uninterrupted alone time. I took a hot bath, ate some junk food, and watched some dumb online videos. From there it was a pretty average Sunday. My husband did get me some nice cheese and wine, and he remarked that he could have done more if I’d asked, even though I never do, as he well knows. All in all, it was a solid day.

I didn’t go anywhere and my family got me nothing as normal. It’s what always happens. But my son did text me this year said he loved me that’s new. My husband told me to buy myself something at the store he payed for it but that’s not really a gift. I got stuff to make him cake it’s on clearance. I have only gotten 2 Mother’s Day gifts one was amazing and unbelievable. A few years ago.
Hell yeah. All we want for Mother’s Day is alone uninterrupted quiet time!!!
We had a little backyard barbecue with my mother in law and sister in law. Very chill. It was perfect for our family, the weather was gorgeous and then I got to take a nice long nap.
My husband woke up and saw the kids put a homemade card on the table.
He said “today is Mother’s Day?”
I’m so thankful for the teacher who has all the students make a card.
We thought about going to our near by city but no- I’m pregnant and my husband got me a new crepe maker , I’m not doing shit but eating crepes with the strawberries he just bought at Costco with our daughter.
It was great, it was nap time but we opted for LO to watch a movie instead and I just watched anime on my Ipad. Perfect 👍
My SIL had us over for brunch which was nice.
Came home and took a walk and sat by the water for a bit near my house.
Then laid down and watched tv and went to sleep pretty early 😂.
Didn’t feel like driving anywhere because the roads were pretty congested and we had some maniac try to run us off the road because we were following the speed limit through town on the way home from my SIL house.
As an empty-nester whose grown children live in other parts of the country, I was happy to receive flowers snd phone calls.
Got dressed, ran errands and had a relaxing day,
My kids snd I talk regularly and we see each other when our schedules permit. It’s all good.
I was studying 🙈
Heck yes, I asked my son for an ice cream treat. My daughter & I watched a couple of episodes of an anime we both enjoy.
They’re high schoolers, so packed away somewhere are all of the cute warming crafts they made years ago.
I am a cat mom. But I did take my mom to lunch. She was thrilled to get out of her senior living community and had leftovers. It’s more than I’ve usually done. Plus the restaurant was quiet (BBQ joint) so it was nice for her.
We went to my in-laws.
His Mom is super cute and bought me a Mother’s Day present for our cats lol. It was a Kate Spade dress.
I slept in, was served coffee and presents in bed. Went to the spa for a facial and then we all went out to dinner as a family. It was lovely.
It was a good chill day over here.
My husband bought me flowers.
He took me and our twins to this breakfast place we used to go to all the time when the twins were infants. (They are 8 now.) We would just roll them in the car seat stroller to sit next to the table at like 5 am and we would drink copious amounts of coffee. Happened a lot because we were exhausted and didn’t want to cook. He even got us the same table as it was the one they always sat us at because the stroller fit right next to it.
He did some big chores I needed done like tilling our garden. I played video games and ate cheezits. I took the kids to the creek later. My adult kids each called to talk and wish me a happy Mother’s Day.
He even cooked dinner. Then we watched Andor with our dogs after the kids went to bed. It was a good day. My husband truly gets me and wants to take care of me.
Talked on the phone with my kids who live far away and called my sister and mom. We went out that evening to a favorite place but it was mobbed and ended up at a local pub/pizza joint which was actually great. Good book before bed and off to a deep sleep 🙂
This is my third mother’s day as a single mom. I took my kids on a trip to cape cod where we ate out for every meal, had fun at the indoor water park, and had a great time. No, it wasn’t restful but it was exactly what I wanted because I planned it! It was so nice being out and about with my kids. I got free coffees at 2 restaurants, some carnations, free ice cream, and my kids made me some hilariously adorable artwork. My 9yo had a blast and thanked me about a dozen times for planning the trip.
I’m not going to tell anyone to run out and get divorced because of one day. But I can’t help but think my Mother’s Day was absolute perfection.
Me. My husband let me sleep in, brought me coffee in bed. Got me a mug with our 1 year old’s photos on it. We went out to brunch and I laid in bed the rest of the day with a few mimosas aside from an evening walk with the dogs. The best day!
I had a very low key mother’s day.
All my kiddos came over on Saturday. And we went up north to the cabin and did some summer prep. We were able to get everything aired out and stuff.
Sunday, my oldest went out for bagels and brought me a coffee. Then, he and the next oldest gave me gifts. A new bowl (for weed) and some bathbombs. We christened the new bowl together (they’re both legal adults).
Then, the youngest made dinner. Chicken fried rice. And, I spent the day baked as a fucking cake and talking about dnd because the oldest wants to try DMing a family dnd group.
It might have been the best mother’s day ive ever had.
Yep! I mostly hate mothers day since my mom died, but I’m trying to turn it into a “whatever, you do you!” day instead of the vehement hatred I had the first or second year after her death.
This year, I figured my kid would forget and he’s now old enough that teachers don’t force them to make anything (and I didn’t care to make a big deal out of it) so instead I met up with my sister to go to the local farmers market opening day. Got myself some gorgeous flowers and local food. It was great!
My kid did completely forget, like I assumed. But it didn’t matter. I had a good day without feeling the need to remind him.
Next year I’ll probably try something even more exciting as a “treat yo self” day.
My husband and I got up at 3:30am to open our bakery together. We worked for 12 hours and then came home and made tacos. He didn’t get me a card or gift, but we are both absurdly busy and stressed all the time so I get it. He made a nice IG post of me and our daughter which as a Leo I appreciated.
He took on dinner so I could take a nap which was all I really wanted 😂 I feel like how our partners treat us on a regular day matters more than making a big deal out of holidays, and he’s a great dad and husband almost every day (we all have our off days, myself included)
My teenage son made me breakfast. Bacon Egg and Cheese biscuit with hash browns. I’ve always been a single mom so Mother’s Day was just another day for me, but it really warmed my heart that he set an alarm and woke up to make me food.
He even did the planning and asked me to buy bacon on my shopping trip last week.
I have 2 grown sons, one away at college and one who lives nearby. My husband and I went to church and on a hike then we went out for Indian with our son and got ice cream. It was a perfect Mother’s Day!
My husband and daughter made me a lovely breakfast, and then we spent 6 hours together putting down mulch around our yard and garden. All of us are super sore today (and we still didn’t finish the damn mulching!) The mulching was 100% my idea, I’m sure my neighbors think I’m nuts for spending my mother’s day this way but my kid helped and we all spent the whole day outside doing hard work together. Weirdly I enjoyed it!
My husband didn’t wish me a Happy Mother’s Day, or even speak to me at all. My kids remembered, though.
My husband and I do the same things for Mother’s/Father’s Day that we do for birthdays. The guest of honor gets to relax and not do chores and gets to pick all meals for the day. My kids love getting to decide what we eat all day on their birthdays (within reason) and they are teens now.
My boyfriend made a Mother’s Day dinner for me and his mom. Gave us both orchids ❤️ Low key and lovely.
Son came home later and gave me flowers.
