This article had me laughing! Esp. the part about making your own cards. Seriously, I think Mother's Day only becomes fun when your children are grown up!!
-
So accurate!!!
-
so true!
Especially the going out to eat part - no thanks, I'll stay home!
-
I so agree.
My mom currently watches DD2 pretty much full time; so we agreed to do nothing for Mother's Day... We don't need more stress!
-
@winniebee: well we are going to be out of town and won't see either of our Mothers. So much for it being fun with adult kids.
-
Yeahhhhh this is why we don't do Mother's Day brunch as a family. I go by myself! Best way to do it.
-
We don't do brunch. I ask my husband to take me to an early dinner at my favorite restaurant. Then I spend Mother's Day with my mom (especially this year because she lost her mom in January).
-
We went to brunch this past weekend to test out brunch for this weekend. Eating out with a little person is overrated. I couldn't believe we were back home in just over a hour. We are keeping our brunch plans for Sat since it's close to a nature trail for a stroller hike, but my expectations are way lowered.
-
This is why we go to a minor league baseball game! Dad gets to run around with the kids and I get to sit back and enjoy the game with a nice cold beer. We also tailgate beforehand with a nice spread of food and mimosas (or whatever drink I'm feeling like that day!).
-
"Now go call your mother for an hour while I help the kids make my Mother’s Day cards."
Yep.
-
LOL. Yeah, we're taking MIL out to a fancy brunch on *Saturday* - then on actual Mother's Day, my plan is to peace the fuck out and to get myself a pedicure, haircut, then spend some coffee/pastry/cafe time with my Kindle.
-
Hahahahahahahaha I am dying. This year, my husband's boss's wife is expecting a baby very close to Mother's Day so I told him "Don't worry about it, babe! They really need you at work this year and we can go out to eat any time." I am a selfless person.
Also I'm a former waitress.

This one is similar and had me cracking up yesterday! https://www.facebook.com/thatsinappropriateblog/videos/1669301996443991/

This is amazing and so true!!! There are 20 of us going out for Mother's Day Brunch on Sunday. It wasn't easy finding a restaurant to take us all. I should know, I made the reservations. Where's the eyeroll emoji?!
-
The headline made me laugh out loud. I love approaching motherhood with a good dose of levity.
-
@bhbee: That line made me smile.
-
And I am going out to brunch on mother's day with DH and LO because we don't have a babysitter...oops...
-
@Boogs: lol yes please to all the mimosas
-
Lol. My only request for Mother's Day was "no brunch".
-
This is why I'm holding the brunch at my house, parents all come over so free babysitters and my favorite food
-
@Mamaof2: yup! My thoughts exactly. We have a 1, 3, and 5 year old so eating out never happens. We thought we could go to breakfast at Panera as a family of 5 and thought how bad could it be. Yeah never again. Disaster.
But I love brunch and really want to enjoy it but maybe in 5 years
So accurate!!!
