What plans have you got for Mother’s Day?

Ours isn’t until later in the year, May I think.

We’re going out to eat later today with one son and one wife, they are treating us for Mother’s Day. Tomorrow we’re cooking and our other son and his family are coming. We’ve asked our other son too, but not sure if he’s coming or going to be with his wife’s adult children.

I shall be remembering my own dear mother too.

My daughters are visiting their mums in law in the morning, I’m being picked up to join them for breakfast. Im the afternoon my girls and their children are coming to me (I can’t drive due to my shoulder injury)]. They’re bringing afternoon tea and say they’ll clear it all up before they leave. I’m very lucky

Daughter and partner are taking myself and his Mum out for lunch. Husband and son also coming. Should be lovely.

Visiting mum.

It's a big one for me ..... my birthday, along with my pension and bus pass finally, Mother's Day, and a baby grandchild due any minute. We are all out for lunch together, then back here for cake. 🎂

That's nice.
Me too, though it's been 40+ years.

Nothing now, since I’ve got a bug I don’t want to pass on, especially to dd2 who is very prone to colds and is only just getting over a bad one.

Both our sons, their partners and our grandchildren are going out for dinner. They've arranged it, but I bet we end up paying!!!

No fuss (by request). No flowers, no card. I know our two girls love me dearly. They show it in so very many ways. They don’t need a ‘Hallmark’ moment to demonstrate it. We plan our (back to usual and long may it continue) routine of picking up my 92 year old stepfather and the 3 of us enjoying Sunday lunch together. I always book a table mid week for which ever venue we’ve chosen so we aren’t disappointed (we were once, so not to be rested!) and last week, thinking ahead, I remembered it was MD and booked for tomorrow extra early! Probably a good job I did!

Enjoy your special day all mums - and of course it goes without saying that I recognise tomorrow will be a sad and difficult day for many to endure (for myriad reasons) and my heart goes out to any on here struggling with such emotions. Life can be hard and unfair can’t it?

Lunch with my 3 daughters and their children.
Menfolk will be going to their own mothers.

I've got my card to open on Mothers Day which my daughter gave me before she left on holiday.

But I shall be trying out my new hair straighteners which she also gave me. I knew about them as she had me with her when she bought them. That was a very unexpected lovely surprise.

None.I am in France packing up our holiday home to move out as we have sold it.

I expect there will be cards on the doormat (Royal Mail permitting) when we get home on Monday.

Another of those media inventions which I can thenkfully opt out of.

I remember giving my Mother flowers in Church 70 years ago,
not media invention

Like Urms I have requested no fuss, I requested no cards, flowers etc, just a phone/video call.
We have one son overseas, our daughter and other son live hundreds of miles away so it’s not logistically possible to meet up.
Last year our granddaughters school did a Mothering Sunday service at her school, we drove up to surprise her as she was singing in the choir, we went out for a lunch afterwards.

Really hoping for a day of peace, quiet and gardening but DS will probably turn up with grand babies and I’ll end up looking after them again as I am this morning.

Me too, Annie.

Hopefully, my daughters and daughters in law will be being spoilt. It's their turn. I know there is a joint present from them in DH's study.

DH and I are off to York to see DH's brother in hospital - he is very poorly.

Church in the morning. Then we are being picked up by our son in law and taken to their home, via his mum, who is also being picked up, and we are all together for the afternoon. Lovely!

Going to live rugby this afternoon, then to DD's for take-away and overnight. Tomorrow, shopping with DD at Rushden Lakes!

We met with DD2 her family and in laws and my friend on Thursday evening to hear the Halle and Craig Ogden in a Spanish evening of music. She then treated us to lunch the next day and then we came home. They have a big family aprty on Sunday for birthday glad to say we dont have to go. Pleased to say DD2 (she of the pre Xmas brain surgery) is doing very well and has her children and grandchild to lunch on Sunday with her SIL doing the cooking. I'm quite happy to have a Sunday at home with DH.

My youngest son has offered to take me to the cinema in the afternoon, something we often do, and my eldest son wants to take me out for a meal in the evening. Whether I do either will depend on how my breathing is in the morning. I've requested no gifts but I know I'll get heartfelt cards because they both like writing them.
