But did you do the whole “mirror, mirror on the wall” thing and see what it said?

My daughter made me one of those when she was pre-school, and by the next morning it was covered in ants 🤦🏻♀️

I see this all the time the day before mother's day dad's out with their kids looking for something to buy the mum's and that's probably the best present the mum's can have a few hours of peace.

I don’t have kids but I have cats. My bf got me a rose bouquet and took me out for Mother’s Day dinner last year 😂

What if it’s made of bacon and chocolate and wrapped in freshly baked bread

my 11 year old brother made a card in church today for my mom that has 3 words inside..."do the dishes" and by that he meant HE would but we all know how that would be perceived at first

I'm an acts of service person. So I ask for a day of the family doing chores and repairs around the house and yard. It really clears the house fast so I can get a day to myself.

My mom wanted us all out of the house at 6am on Mother’s Day so we could have a 5.5 hour car-ride with the younger child constantly making noise to somewhere loud and full of overly energetic people and toddlers. She chose this guys. I’m not discriminating but it’s like the exact opposite of all of these posts

In some cases, this is because all year 'round, the mother is the primary carer for the kids. So the mother just wants one day off on Mother's Day, and also wants to take advantage of Father's Day being the one calendar day per year where she has additional leverage to demand that her husband actually act like a proper father.

I’ve been looking for gift basket themes for Mother’s Day. “Peaceful poop” would be a good theme.

It's a sledge-hammer with "tiara" written on it in cursive glitter glue. Someone else puts it on your head and you have a lovely dream. Repeated use of the tiara may cause memory loss and a habit of drooling when trying to remember your own name.

If by “small children” you mean cats who sleep on my pillow next to my head, and by “handmade gifts” you mean cat farts, then yea it’s Mother’s Day every day

It seems like a lot of people understand the mom doesn’t want to cook, but neither do they, so they just take her to a restaurant. Father’s Day isn’t the same because most fathers aren’t making the majority of meals for the families, so the partner will make his favorite dish and avoid restaurants all together.

This list is so depressing! Why not make away with this pointless day and instead aim for a better work distribution in the family! Sounds like most mums still have to do all of the work involved in raising a family while dads occasionally chip in a little. That really strikes as more than a bit unfair. (And yes, I do have kids, three of them. Fair burden sharing between parents is possible. )

I completely agree. Equal work distribution. Leave it like they do, someone else can clean it up. Women are not slaves.

I learned to fold clothes when I was four. Learned to pick up my own room and make my own bed. When I was about 8 or 10, my older brother taught me to sew. When I was about 10, I learned to do laundry by myself, and washed dishes every night, took out the garbage, mowed the lawn, and helped my grandpa re-shingle the roof. At about 12 or 13, my other brother taught me to cook, and my OTHER brother taught me to iron. We boys used to clean the house every weekend. The older boys cooked, and we younger ones did dishes every night. In our marriages we all share the housework and take care of our kids. Is this just not common? I mean, really, do other men NOT do house chores?

Really. Other men do NOT do house chores. Or worse, they call themselves enlightened & supportive & insist they share on the chores, then you find out they mean once a week they take out the trash, or perhaps take the dog for a walk here & there. Thanks for listing a few of the many chores needed in a household & especially what you & your siblings did as a kid. Kudos to your parents! Many men also declare themselves incompetent when it comes to laundry or cooking (beyond BBQing). The least said about those men ironing, the better. ::eyeroll::

Just have to share this somewhere: this Mother’s Day I ended up having to clean a massive skiddy off the toilet bowl (NOT mine) and the head broke off the toilet brush and got wedged in the u-bend so I had to put a plastic bag on my hand and going in to pull it back out.

Oh, I really am sorry. Happy Mother's day, if you need it.
