What do you mean Mother's Day?

I am fortunate to be appreciated, I get coffee served to me in bed most days if I want it, and meals prepared for me (though I do most dishes). Hubby is not the dad of my kids, and I do not know if they will remember me at all. I still worry, I still care, although they are big enough to take care of themselves.

I am not a mother myself. My mother has no grandchildren. I try and appreciate her every day, but I make a special effort on Mothers Day. The problem is her birthday is the following week and I don't have much money. On Mothers Day we usually just go out to eat. For her birthday, we go out and I also get her a gift, but I can't afford two gifts so close together.

mothers, regardless of the ages of their children... still worry, still care, still pray for everyone's safety, and still do a thousand and one motherly acts every single day. and mother's day or not, us children should know and learn how to appreciate our dear mothers. my mom is nearing 71. a mother of 8 and a grandmother of 13 (will be 14 grandkids by the time she turns 71. hehe) she's also the wife of a very stubborn man married for almost 50 years by next month. (how she lasted that long is a great wonder, really) she had a lifetime of dedicated service and one strong figure in our family. we didn't have much to start with when we were younger so most of us children vowed to make our parents' golden days better and easier. these days we are thankful that we are financial alright, we have houses and we're able to afford comforts in life. my mom likes to visit places she'd never been and whenever we have international travels, we try to bring her along. she's very game even if it's shopping or disneyland in hongkong, a few months in jakarta, a quick trip to malaysia and cambodia, or even culture appreciation in vietnam. she also likes to visit churches locally and her hometown province and often asks us to bring her. and we always humour her by granting it. ultimately, my sister and i would like to bring our mom to vatican city in rome. she would definitely like that. a little appreciation everyday goes a long way for our tireless warriors and caregivers who are also our full-time 24/7 moms... coffee here, a massage there, a new flowering plant. one of our goals (my sisters and i) is that our mom shall never be in want or in need and we shall be able to provide. she's kinda spoiled in that aspect, hehe. we normally don't make too much of a fuzz on special occasions because in our family we find ways to celebrate every important events in our lives beyond birthdays, anniversaries and such. have a great day!

Hello my friend eileenleyva Ji, Well, I wish to bring out following 'WHAT I NEED AS A MOTHER AND GRAND MOTHER' [b]"PARENT’S WISH 1. On the day when you see us old, weak and weary…… Have patience and do try to understand us……. 2. If we get dirty when eating…and.. If we cannot dress on our own… Please bear with us and remember the times we spent feeding you and dressing you up. 3. If, when we speak to you, we repeat the same things over and over again… do not interrupt us… listen to us. When you were small, we had to read to you the same story a thousand and one times until you went to sleep. 4. When we do not want to have a shower, neither shame us ,nor scold us….. Remember when we had to chase you with your thousand, excuses to get you to the shower? 5. When you see ignorance of new technologies, help us navigate our way through these world wide webs. “ We taught you how to do so many things –to eat the right foods, to dress appropriately, to fight for your rights.” 6. When at some moments , we loose memory or thread of our conversation, let us have the necessary time to remember and if we can not , do not become nervous. “ As the most important thing is not the our conversation, but simply to be with you and to have you listening to us.” 7. If ever we do not feel like eating , do not force us. We know well, when we need to and when not to eat. “When our tired legs give way and do not allow us to walk without a cane, lend us your helping hand the same way we did when you tired your first faltering steps.” 8. And when some day we say to you, we do not want to live anymore that we want to die … “ Do not get angry for one day you will understand . Try to understand us that our age is not just to live , but survive. 9. Some das you will realize that despite our mistakes , we always wanted to do best for you prepare wing for you. “ You must not feel sad , angry , not ashamed for having us near you. Instead try to understand us and help us like we did , when you were young”. 10. Help us to walk, help us to live rest of our life with love and dignity. “ We will pay you with smile and by the immense love, we have always had for ou in our hearts” “ WE LOVE YOU CHILD”[/b] Thanks. May God bless You and have a great time.

Actually, i treat my mother in my most loving way as much as i can. But it couldn't be helped though that out of my busyness, i don't have time to show it that much to her on a daily basis. Hence, it is my opportunity this Mother's day, to tell her and make her feel that i do love her so much.

To every day of the year and the month should be treated with love and respect for their mothers. You should not wait to feast to come, and we to think about his mother.Every word and every sentence to our mothers must be respected and respect.A little more love.

As for my family, the Mother's Day celebration had been quite popular because that is the only day, where i am able to spend time together with my mother and grandma. It had been quite a few years that we are celebrating Mother's Day together. We felt very special on that day, due to celebrating this special occasion that way. Hopefully when my child had grown big, he will celebrate this special day for me. I am waiting for this very day to arrive here.

And how about mothers of "adult children" know-it-alls who engage in all sorts of risky behaviors, saying "I'm an adult" when acting worse than even the youngest child? I must identify with your mother and the cries of her heart, as I know only too well the deep concern and caring for one's grandchild and the special bond and relationship God intends for grandparents and their grandchildren. I also have come to more clearly appreciate the love and caring of my own parents for my children, their precious grandchildren. And, unfortunately, too many grandparents must grieve helplessly at the serious infractions to their darling grandchildren from some parents who have not attained their level of wisdom as our world becomes more and more selfish and less sacrificial and nurturing. If you watch the news on any given day you will see the kind of widespread abuse and selfishness of all kinds of generations of "parents" who have never learned the lessons of sacrifice, because playing on the computer, or going to the gym, or partying are of paramount importance to them. "True Motherhood", the epitome of grace, love, and sacrifice has long been demeaned by "feminists" who have now institutionally devalued this most important of callings.

mothers day is for every mother mom step mom and momie in the world and once you start having your lovely children the worry begains for the rest of your life even after there out on there own you still worry if they have enough money food for there family and i know that there our good mother and bad one but we should still love them every day but make mothers day much better

IT's a day for all mothers in the world, to recognize their efforts and hard work, put into bringing us up, as well as keeping the family together. Though mother's day is supposed to be an 'off' day for mothers, but it can never happen because they are not used to doing nothing. Mother's don't expect much on mother's day, maybe a family dinner together would be enough. Little gestures of gifts are definitely welcomed but it would be even better if it's not just on mother's day.

Hello friend, yesterday in our church during bible study the topic went to mothers day - I do ask to everybody - Why and How mother's day derive and came from? Is it related to bible teaching or just people creation? What do you think? I kown mother's day in the essence of greatings and give respect to all mothers... see you around

Mothering Sunday was 'celebrated' here in the UK back in April. I don't know why the rest of the world has it on a different day. Weird! Anyways, happy 2nd Mothers Day to all you mothers out there. Don't you get spoilt enough? ;)
