Mother's Day Options

[Kim3rz]

I'm writing an article about Mother's Day and I wanted to know from all of you:

A) How do you normally celebrate Mother's Day?

B) Is there any lessons about life (or lessons in general) that you have learned from your mother or any lessons that she has learned from you (her children)?

C) Did you ever forget about Mother's Day and failed to give your mom something special? What happened and what did she do?

Thanks guys.

A) How do you normally celebrate Mother's Day?
We don't do anything particular. I'll usually give my mom a gift. Last year I got her the I Love Lucy, Season One Disc Set. We'll go out to eat or something.

B) Is there any lessons about life (or lessons in general) that you have learned from your mother or any lessons that she has learned from you (her children)?
My mom and I don't have a particularly good relationship, to say the least. I've learned to have a really strong work ethic from her. She also told me to learn how to type fast (at a really young age) because back then, women really only had secretarial jobs (well, for the most part). My mom has learned from me, in watching me that not everyone has the same idea of parenting. I'm far more liberal than she is. I think we're both learning that there can be a balance between the two.

C) Did you ever forget about Mother's Day and failed to give your mom something special? What happened and what did she do?
No, I've always remembered. She did get REALLY bitter one year when my then live-in boyfriend and I had to "share" the day between his mom and mine.
