FabSwingers.com forum: Mother's Day

What's everybody doing for Mum's Day and how do you spoil your mum? Unfortunately my mum is 300 miles away so I can't be with her, but I have sent a beautiful card and flowers.

I've noticed an advert for a Dyson hairdryer at £300 as a suggestion to spoil your mum. Do people really spend that sort of money to show them you love them?

How do you show your mum you love her?

Walking down the only road I've ever known!

Now I know why I'm miserable this week.

It will be my first mothers day without a mam.

Mothers day is for flowers and chocolates, that kind of price range, £300 is ridiculous.

I guess being bombarded by reminders in the run up to the day can be really painful for some, as can looking on social media and feeling like every single person in the world except for you is enjoying a special day with their mum if you have lost her or are estranged

I don't have a mum and neither does my girl..... ......mothers day is always a bit weird, they have to make stuff at school and they tell her to "make it for you dad instead" so I got a pottery bear thing this year, but then it just makes you think about the person who should have received it....

I go round her house, drink her wine and let her talk bollocks to me until the small hours of the morning.

Last weekend, my dad busted us doing "The Harlem Shuffle" at 1.30am....

I sometimes wish I could make a fuss for my mum on Mothering Sunday but I just can’t.

I’m childless not by choice. Spent 15 years of trying for children with recurrent miscarriages, failed adoption application, being refused ivf on the nhs and not having the thousands of pounds it would need to try privately (estimated cost of 10 grand per cycle minimum due to extra screening because of my history), Mothering Sunday is a very difficult day for me.

Fortunately my mum understands how hard it is for me and is happy with a card and having us visit her if we can

Got my mum the new illustrated The Tales of Beedle the Bard book. So far I’ve bought her all the illustrated Harry Potter books and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

I’ll never top two years ago - family tickets to the Harry Potter studios.

One year I got her a big canvas - a pic of her and her mum, who died when she was ten.

I don't really do anything different for my mum to what I do every day, apart from buy her a card.

I'm a full time live in carer for mum so I do everything around the house every day as well as her personal care. I buy her flowers every week because she loves them and it brightens her life to get them.

My Mum died at the young age of 50, in 1980.

Strangely enough, she HATED Mothers Day and didn't view it as a day to celebrate. How she appreciated life & her role was simply how we all interacted.

She'd even scold us for getting her a card & flowers; years after her death, Dad confessed she loved the attention!

This is what I feel. I wish I had the same close relationship with my mother like so many people I know have but unfortunately this isn't the case

We're so fundamentally different and there has been too much friction and unpleasantness throughout the years for me to cherish or celebrate the meaning of that day without a large amount of melancholy

Coming from a very poor background my mum sacrificed a lot. I was going to surprise her with something special that we always talked about years ago, but I am about 2 months behind schedule! My brother is on track with his surprise so phew! Flowers, chocolates and visiting nieces will be the norm. How we travel to the different locations will be different. My god I can't wait.

She will be so happy!!

"I won't be doing anything for my mother on mother's day but I am in the process of planning to take down 50 metres of hedges and replace it all with a fence to make her garden more manageable for her and also put a soak away in her back garden to try and stop it from turning into a bog with the slightest bit of rain

Can I adopt you? My garden’s a mess!

"2nd year without my mum so will be spending with my youngest as my eldest is off gallivanting.

I always saw it as commercial. Didn't need a day to tell someone I love them or get spoil them "

I agree! I see my mum and tell her I love her almost every day - as I can’t guarantee she’ll be around the next day!

No one needs a particular day/event to make someone they care about feel special!

Sending hugs for tomorrow anyway though my lovely! Xxx

"My mum’s been extremely ill for the last year or so and is now on oxygen pretty much full time!

We’ve booked a family lunch and we’re hoping she’ll be well enough to make it!

Also bought her a practical present (comfortable joggers, hoodie etc) as she very rarely leaves the house unfortunately! X

That sounds perfect as a gift.

Thanks! I’d rather buy her something ‘nicer’ but she rarely leaves the house so no point unfortunately! X

Hope she makes the lunch. Very sweet. Enjoy every second you have. Xx"

Thanks lovely! Will do! Xx

"I love it, all the little home made cards they make, I’ve been lucky enough to have two girls and two little boys so I get spoilt(with diy gifts and choccys) usually wine of the mr and cooked dinner or lunch out with our mums

I’m so sorry for all of you that struggle with Mother’s Day, I get this on Father’s Day but I hope the day brings everyone love in one way or another 3"

It sounds like you will have a lovely day

"What's everybody doing for Mum's Day and how do you spoil your mum? Unfortunately my mum is 300 miles away so I can't be with her, but I have sent a beautiful card and flowers.

I've noticed an advert for a Dyson hairdryer at £300 as a suggestion to spoil your mum. Do people really spend that sort of money to show them you love them?

How do you show your mum you love her? "

See I just get my mum gift vouchers now... I bought her one of those bullet food processors one year. She only took it back and exchanged it!!

I'm doing nothing. My children are with their dad this weekend and I have a d&v bug so I'm not going outwith my mum and siblings. I'm staying in bed and feeling mildly sorry for myself

My thoughts are with you...

Question to all... does your local restaurants do Mothers eat for free today? They do around here.

A lovely thoughtful pressie yeah ????. Well I was aged 6

I couldn't believe a £300 hairdryer was being advertised as an ideal mother's day pressie by a well known store. They even offered payment by installments. A) my mum would be cross if I spent that sort of money and B) it's a strange gift to give!

Was it Mercedes (one of those stupidity over priced cars) last year saying that their car would make an ideal gift for fathers day?

Reading your posts has made me feel guilty and special, as I see my mum 3/4 times a week and I don’t tell her I love her and how much I appreciate her for all she has done and still does for me as much as I should throughout year (thanks mum I love you) also I still have my Nan (95) love you too Nan, so it’s cards flowers for two from me .

Thinking of you all

Who’s mums aren’t here no more

I’m sure they would

Be proud of you all x

My mum has had a card and a phone call. All very low key as in a couple of weeks my brother who has worked overseas for the last few years is visiting the UK and both of my brothers and I are going home to surprise and spoil her.

My mother’s day has been quiet and I’m cooking us a lovely roast lamb dinner, as I’m very happy pottering in the kitchen with music on and a g&t

Heard from all my girls. New mum's themselves. Youngest told me to look out for parcel, didn't arrive but M&S sent picture of box in patio...unfortunately not my patio.

We have a street Facebook page so posted picture of patio...ten minutes later my parcel delivered.

Nice receiving gifts, but I miss the days when they were at school and handmade cards.
