Mothering Sunday...

[york away to this!]

Pain or pleasure?

My wonderful mum died a few years ago now and the ex This! is taking my boys out for dinner whilst I go out with the new Mrs This! and her girls...

I'm not sure if that's a bit odd?

not odd at all

although when you referred to yourself as THIS i struggled to understand what the fuck you were on about , then it clicked

Haha exactly my thinking too!

Not a pain usually but this year my girlfriend's nan has organised a well respected male voice choir to sing locally and I thought I'd be a dutiful son and take my mum along.

Got the tickets a month back and she's talked about it often - how much she's looking forward to it.

It was only last week when I realised it will mean me missing the last half hour of the Arsenal game!

Bugger.

^^^^ I simply love the idea of a male voice choir with a real lack of respect. Punk rock!!

bit chaotic this year - going to see my mum who doesn't know what day it (she sadly has dementia) then will be spending the day with my daughters, one of which is also a mum. Daughter who isn't a mum is feeling a bit left out because she is the only one not getting treats and a card lol

My mother is dead so I get to save money

My kids are going to be slaves for the day. I shall make my eldest weed the paving stones in the back garden with a teaspoon, middle lad can clean the entire bathroom with an old toothbrush. My little girl is ill so she gets a free pass

My mum passed away 6 years ago, I will raise a glass to my nan and my mum

very much pain for me.

despite the fact that i have two amazing children who i love dearly, my mum is (like BBBs) ravaged by altzheimers and so mother's day is always a horrible reminder of what i've lost. i hate trying to find an appropriate card for my mum. but, for as long as she's around i'll spend the day with her (as i do every sunday) and be thankful for the fact that she enabled me to follow my dreams and ambitions and that i can be the mum i am to my children - cheers mum xxx

Mum or Mam ?

My mum died 3 years ago in April, 10 months after my wife died, which was 12 months after HER mum died.

Mothers Day, therefore, doesn't have much meaning to me or the kids, so we're having a meal together, prepared by me, tomorrow afternoon.

Shit happens, so you've just got to live for the day.
