Mothers day

[Brauny Blue]

Well i'm sure to most of us they are worth more than any money can buy, but i cant help feeling its an occasion thats turned into a bloody big rip-off.
What do you think ?

I think your a tight fecker :icon_bigg buy your mum a present its one day a year just to say thank you. I will be putting some flowers on a grave tomorrow so make the most of it whilst you can.

Unfortunately my mum died many years ago. it's only when they're not there you realise how much you value them. It's only a rip off if YOU go over the top.

My mum never wants any fuss over the day, she doesn't see the point, breakfast in bed with a cup of coffee is more than enough for her.

 

[Scarby]

surely the same for fathers day as well

She does not need mothers day to know what my feelings are:icon_wink.
I just resent being ripped off for what i see as an emotional blackmail.

it was her birthday a couple of days ago so she's getting sod all tomorrow from me

Same as Valentines day for me, why do we need one day a year to tell our loved ones we love them? We should do it almost every day.

My mum agrees with the notion but I still buy something out of guilt and to thank her for doing me ironing.

when my gran died, the next mothers day, i was told not too make a fuss, as it may uset mum being the first mothers day without her mum, so i didnt.

And didnt i get in the shit

 

[Jeff]

It's a money making rip off.

But at least when I visit my mum's later today I can stay a couple of extra days so I can go to f*r*st v Carlisle on Monday and Leicester v Preston on Tuesday without feeling guilty about traveling all that way just for a football match.

Similarly, not all Mothers will have their children with them today.

Not spoken to my Mum for two years so it's just another Sunday for me.

I think it was invented by the American Greetings Card Association many years ago. Won't be long before we also have 'Childrens Day', 'Aunt and Uncles Day', 'God Parents Day' and 'Neighbours Day' cards too just to keep the money flowing in for the card suppliers.

In saying that, mothers shouldn't need a card to know you love 'em.

Sorry to hear that. :icon_conf

Its not compulsory is it? It doesnt have to be monetary just breakfast in bed would do.I know you can tell them every day of the year but the point is you dont do you?

.....not sure what your point is there.

 

[muzzysgal]

.....not sure what your point is there.

My point was that today can be just as difficult for those of us who don't have their children with them still, as the children who don't have their Mothers.

Tried that line with a hooker the other day but she still insisted on cash

 

[newtonfox]

Ironing?? Youre married!!

I take your point and it is indeed a good one and I would hope mothers in that situation would take the opportunity for a quiet rememberance as i do of my mother
