How many do you have?

My Number 1 Mum is my birth Mother of course! (She gave birth to ME by the way and it wasn't the other way around) And she's not to be confused with that other person's Mother who is of course THEIR number 1 Mother. Same goes for all those other dudes and their opinions of their own Mothers as well. I think there's really no other option but to have a "Battle Royale" type event on Mother's Day itself and we'll crown the last standing Mother as the true and undisputed number 1. It does seem only fair and those spammers do deserve to be accurate once in a while.....

oh fishy one, I think they are saying that each person's mom is their #1 mom

Actually some call their mother in laws mom/mum.. or god mothers that also.. and some like to get their grandmothers something to on mother's day. For me, my biological mom is my number one mom..You know I could just never bring myself to call my husbands mom,mom..I tried once and it just got stuck in the throat a bit and just never came out it felt soooo wrong..and my husband doesn't call my mother, mom or anything else but her real name. Maybe he didn't feel right doing it either.

Erm yeah that is weird haha! It's just the wording of the spam I guess - the people who send out this crap are not exactly rocket scientists and don't often even speak English as their first language so they might have even been implying that you should buy a gift to show mum she's no.1 BUT who else would be your No 1 mum? A valid discussion and food for thought. I can imagine yes, if you had a birth mother and a foster mother or adoptive mother for whatever reason but generally the people I know who are adopted refer to their adoptive mother as their real mother and don't have a relationship with their birth mother who abandoned them at birth or a young age (whatever their reasons might have been). Personally I have one mum, my birth mum and even at this age if I found out she was not my birth mother, I would not consider anyone else as my mother as this is the one who's loved me and supported me my whole life and she's my best friend too!

Hi p1kef1sh, My "real" mum put me and my three sisters into care when I was a teenager, so because of that I've always had a difficult relationship with her, doesn't stop me loving her but I don't like her. I was fostered to a couple and they are still very much a part of my life and I don't know whether I strictly think automatically that she's my first mum but my children do think of them has their real grandparents because they have been the constant influence in their lives since they were born not my real mum.

Dad married.... a lot.... Cathy, Maggie (sister cerrie), Maggie (sisters amy, michelle), Maggie (me), Mary (Kimberly), Carol, The *Itch, and didn't marry but has lived with for like 17 years - Sally. Father's dad is so much simpler because Nathan didn't count. *sigh* Mom is Mom.... no tops, not fighting, just as it is. But there are people I admire that get mom's day cards... just because the are great mom's.

I do have two mothers..my biological mother and my adoptive mother...but neither are my fav....My adoptive mum well you know the story and my birth mum I've never met.....SOOOOO my fav mom would have to be my husbands mom..whom I love dearly..

Well, as my birth mother and I did not get along, I guess the only other person that I have looked to as a mom, was the landlord where I lived for so long. She was there for me no matter what I needed. In fact she was there for all that lived in her houses. She made sure you had a way to the doctor. She made sure you had the money to buy your medicine. Anything that a real mom would do for you. I love her and will always consider her the mom that I never had.

My birth mom is my only mom in any sense of the word. But I do give many mother's day cards to people I know. Mother's day is a VERY special day for many people I know and I enjoy celebrating it with them.

Thats a hard question to answer. I have my birth mother who I dislike and have never considered my mother, then there is my stepmother who I keep in touch with occassionally, but who was very abusive when we were growing up and then there is my Aunt, my real mothers sister who of all three I consider more of a mother than the rest. I don't really feel that I grew up with parents, mother or father and so don't send cards out on that day to anyone.

Being a Mom, I'M my number one Mom! Like Duh! LOL My adoptive mother is. I didn't value her enough when I was growing up, but I hope I've 'made up' for it now. But then again............I adore my mother-in-law in a way that my own mother would never understand. Well thanks P1ke, I finally come back to the lot and you have me all tied up in knots over mothers, and Mother's Day is just around the corner for us Colonials, and how am I going to choose to 'favor' this year, and oh sh*t, I'm sooooooooo confused! ROFL

1 mom.. my birth mom.. i dont claim any others and i know the feeling is mutual lol!

Hi ya p1kef1sh Ah that would be because it is Mother's Day in the US in May!! I have now got a new stepmum thanks to my dad!! She's really nice but nothing can beat my birth mum who is absolutely great, the best!! That reminds me, I must arrange to get some flowers sent to her! Cheers for the reminder p1key! X

Haha That’s true..I never thought of that like that. My number one mom is my mom…lol. I don’t have anyone else that would even come close to being my mom. Except maybe one of my friends who is very wise and I can always get good advice from her. She looks out for me before I do something stupid and genuinely cares. So she would be next in line I guess

I only ever had one mum and of course she was my favourite and even after about 20 years I still miss her at times. Never did like mother-in-law.

Mine is my birth mother. I have always had her. Though my grandma helped mum a lot and she used to take care of me as well when mum was at work. So I do consider grandma as a second mum but nobody can take the place of my birth mum.

I have too many mums to mention. There is my birth mother that could get hit by train for all I care. Then there is my mother-in-law, and it is some written rule that her and I will forever hate one another. Then there is my deceased grandmother who raised me since I was a baby so she is considered my Number 1 mom but she is not hear anymore for me to get her anything. Then I have my half dozen adopted moms. My friend Heidi's mom, Sandi from work, our very own Nova, my swimming instructor, my personal trainer, and even Bella gets called mom at least once a week. Wow, what a list. I think I need a nap. Which one of my moms is going to come tuck me in?

Well my No1 Mum is actually my Mum, but when it comes to buying Mother's Day cards the local card seller must think I have hoards of them hidden away. I always send a Mother's Day card to my grandmother, and have to send cards on behalf of my dearly beloved too. In fact, I've been known to buy something for myself before now. Card buying seems to be a lesson the males in my house are incapable of learning.

My birth mother is my favourite (and only) mum. I think even if I had 10 other mums she would still be my favourite, lol! She's very kind and chatty and she's great with my daughter, who gets spoilt rotten whenever they see eachother. And she's funny too. She has a unique personality and sort of an old-world charm! I hope I've inherited some things from her, hopefully some good things, lol! I don't think I would buy anything for her from the site that spammed you. Based on the spam that I get, I dread to think what kind of things they would want me to buy her. ..And she's more easily shocked than I am!

My birth mother is my favorite. By the way she is the only mother for me. Today my existence is because of her and that is why I don't have any parameter or scale to weigh her kindness and love for me against anything or anyone else in this world. She is the best and I love her the most. Even not that I have graduated and doing a job still sometimes she would prepare food for me and if possible she would feed me with her own hands and I love that. Maybe I am talking a bit out of context that is because I am from India and here as you said the society is built in such a way the we generally do not have a choice for a favorite ..... most of the cases though nowadays the concept is picking up in urban life.
