COMMERCIALISED RIP OFF.
Although my mum has now died my siblings and I never needed a special day to give her flowers, take her out or give her a treat.
Having said that we all used to get her a card and gift on mothers day, thus allowing ourselves to be exploited by the marketeers.

As far as my parents are concerned, Mothers Day is an American concept which they decline to recognise.
They are, however, happy to celebrate Mothering Sunday.

She always seems a nice lady to me!! Happy to say my younger son is cooking lunch for the wife tomorrow, daughter has just carried in a lot of stuff including a nice bunch of flowers. So the boss is being well catered for. The wife paid a special visit to the graveyard today to lay some flowers on her mothers grave. Perhaps I should do the same, but never have............... Don't forget young people, you only ever get one mum!!

I've always tried to, in fairness. But if you don't get on with someone, I don't really think it matters whether they happen to be related to you I don't really want to discuss the reasons on here, but you'd probably understand if you knew!
