Lisa, I don’t like your X. How horrible that he couldn’t even appreciate all you did as a mom to his kids. Just awful. I’m so sorry you didn’t get the respect and support you deserved.

I’m so glad your kids get it. <3

Maybe your kids’ love language is acts of service?! I think it’s pretty darn sweet of your older kids to take the time to help with those big projects! 🙂 No parties, but we’ll take all the help we can get, right? Thanks for reading, sweet friend!

I cracked up reading this the first time, and I’m cracking up reading it again now. LOLOL. I will say, your kids are pretty darn witty!! Oh, Julie- that’s hilarious. 😀

We are so ignorant in our innocence when we are kids- it’s no wonder we don’t think to thank our moms and dads when we are growing up! I appreciate you reading my post and I’m so grateful for your thoughtful response, Alison. <3

Hey Chris! It’s true: most moms would appreciate gratitude year round rather than bells and whistles on one day of the year. I think back to how much I took my mom for granted and it does stir up remorse in my spirit. May we remember the precious gift that each mother is!

Going over there to read now, too. My son didn’t know it was Mother’s Day either I don’t think. I love your “huhs.” They crack me up. And I did laundry as well AND bought the groceries for dinner, but at least my husband prepared the majority of it (on the grill). We were at my parent’s house earlier in the day, and my girls left a little early in their own car telling me “Mom you can’t come home yet.” I smiled, thinking maybe they were going to surprise me by cleaning the house before I got there or some big sign with streamers or something. But when I got home, all it was was an iced coffee on the kitchen counter with a note that said “We just want to expresso how much you bean to us” As you said, keep the expectations low:-) Bless their little, budding hearts.

I have adult children and two of them helped me clean the yard and garage on Mother’s Day! haha! Not quite the special outing I’d see posted by other Mother’s on facebook, so loved reading how Mom’s day was an ordinary day too for you! But with some unexpected surprises along the way.

Going now. And I’d totally take a car wash as a gift.

Happy belated momma’s day, Chris! How sweet your kids are to do those things and I laughed out loud about son being a bit clueless. Your hubs sure did all the right stuff, too. It’s so important and surprising how many husbands don’t handle this right. My ex (sorry to bring him up) would not even buy a card and would say, you’re not my mother. UGH. Mother’s day has some bad memories for me but luckily I’m making new, loving memories and my kids are also very considerate about cards.

I’m hopping over because I want to know what every mom wants after mother’s day (from her kids)!
