My mom has done so much and we (me and my sister) cant even get her a good gift. My Dads not rly around and neither of us can drive yet so we always have to sneak the gift home, but this year she caught us buyin it

The only time I ever bought my mom a gift, she was dissapointed because I used lunch money to buy it. I was like, 15 at the time, so I'm not even sure where money could come from since I couldn't legally get a job without a worker's permit...
Anyway, yeah, ever since then I haven't gotten her anything.
Well, I am not to good with gifts. But who says you have to get a gift? Why don't you just spend time with her (family time?) ? Like go to a lake and have a picnic? Go biking together or something. You dont really have to buy something.
I wont be "celebrating" mother days tomorrow. Got my finals this week and I want to concentrate on my exams. I will "celebrate" mother day next week after all the stress is gone. I am planning to help my mom with her garden.
Spending time with my mom or doing something nice for her always seems more heartfelt than a gift (unless she specifically wants something). I try to do that, at least.Originally Posted by gr3atfull
I'm gonna try and get my mom a present or something tomorrow though, since she's actually been sick at home all week.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
What you can always do is do Mother's Day the smart way, do it the day before. Have you ever tried to go out for breakfast or brunch or whatever on Mother's Day? It's a nightmare, and so many people are doing the exact same, it kind of demeans the whole thing. Spending time with your mother is a lot more valuable than some cheesy card or gaudy gift. Today (Saturday) I spent a good 4 hours with her for early Mother's Day. I knew I might be busy Sunday, so we went out to brunch and then just drove around randomly and talked in the car. It feels way more valuable than some crap you picked up at the store the day before, and going early makes it feel a lot less pressured, more casual and relaxed because there aren't a ton of people doing the exact same thing.
I used to buy or make cards or buy some gift (typically at random), but just spending a big chunk of time talking about whatever (work, politics, pop culture, whatever) seems like a much more worthy gift than even the most well thought and heartfelt written poem on a card.
It doesn't have to take a lot of effort to show you actually care.
Unfortunately every year we have to go out with my grandparents so i dont rly get to spend time with my mom and all my grandpa cares about is eating dinner kinda getting rid of the whole purpose of mothers day. My grandma has Parkinson's and is now in a hospital bed all day so i dont even see a point in going to dinner anymore but he still insists anyway.

I'm generally the one who makes the obligatory comment about the fakeness of Mother's day. About how you shouldn't treat your mom extra special on some arbitrary day because Woodrow Wilson said so. You should treat your mom well everyday, since she's your mom and you suck for ruining her life, (unless you a) didn't ruin her life or b) she is really neglectful by choice and doesn't deserve praise, but has has to really be a sucky Mom).
Anyway, my mom was a really good mom and she buys into Mothers day so I'll call her and pretend I'm the fine upstanding man she hopes I am because it will make her happy. She deserves to feel happiness for all she's done for me.
