How can my my kid forget Mother's Day?? He has to live under a big rock!!!
Sorry you feel bad about this, hope it was a great anyway.
I called my mom at 9:30pm.

My son called me around 7:30pm. Thankfully, I was let go of "holidays" a long time ago. I choose not to acknowledge or make a deal out of them for myself. This way I have no pre-conceived notions or expectations of what should happen. You know what, I have an awesome day that way!!!
I remember my mother used to have HUGE expectations, and in that, we never failed to let her down. By me releasing that, I am just happy to have my children regardless of the day. KWIM?
I feel this way about ALL holidays and bdays for myself. If I want something, I buy it for myself. If I need love and attention, I ask for it.
