what are you getting your mom or mother n law for mothers day? my mom is so easy, but i need some good ideas for the mil.
My mom isn't the most tech savvy and always complains about how she has all the photos on her digital camera but she can't figure out how to print them or take the camera to do it:lol: So we got her a digital picture frame on a great sale. Of course we'll have to always load the pics for her but at least she'll be able to look at them! Mother-in-Law....well, I've told hubby he's responsible for that one:jester:
I bought some pottery from that new place up at 4042. Serves two purposes, it's from here (they live elsewhere) and the pieces are functional.
well Dang! ummmmm, I give up! gifts for either are hard to get, My Mom is 88 yrs old, if she dont have it , well then she dont need it! she hates flowers, she said i aint dead yet! dont send me flowers!!! lol!. mil ,well thats a whole nother story, nothing is right, i bought her a crock pot one year and she told me i waisted my money, then a few months later she told my DH that she loved it! go figure, i think i will just get the smallest dd to make them a card....... I might be safe with that.
My twin brother is gettnig married on mother's day. I'm not sure she'd notice if I didn't get her anything. :lol: That being said, I think I'll do a nice family picture in a nice frame. Or even just a nice frame since she'll need something to put the new wedding pictures in. A nail certificate for my mil always works.
I got my Mother's day present early and I love it! New GPS, oh and getting another mini-van too! Woo Hoo! :hurray:
Wouldn't wish my MIL on anyone. I endeavor to offer my MIL respect. Even that will never be enough, it seems. MIL and LOML had a serious falling out years ago, before LOML and I reunited. I suggested trying to bury the hatchet. When asked by LOML to help her craft a letter, I helped her. When we finally got together as four adults, MIL seemed accepting of me and dismissive of her daughter, and I felt MIL was using me to put her daughter down. When I spoke up to take LOML's side by telling MIL that I had drafted the letter (I'll always have her back-as a husband should) the tone changed. Am I bitter? More resigned to the fact that it's never gonna be what it could or should. And that's after a strong dislike and lack of mutual respect for over 30 years. I am devoted to the LOML, her daughter. That's my gift to the MIL. That's also my gift to my Mom, who passed on years ago. Even my LOML will tell you that she felt closer to my Mom because she was welcomed with open arms upon their first meeting. So, we'll go to Mother's Day. I'll bite my tongue and take the snide remarks, the slights, the covert hostility. And then, we'll come home. And I'll feel bad for my wife, who's been trying all her life to find the key to her Mother's cold, impenetrable heart. I'll shed some tears for my Momma, and promise her that I will find a way to be a better SIL, because that's the way my Momma raised me. To all Mom's out there...Happy Mother's Day to you.
My mommy has already requested some hanging baskets from Lowe's. Easy peasy! The MIL. I don't have a clue and DH is working that day so I'm thinking there won't be a visit from me... maybe. Don't know yet. I wish she liked hanging baskets!
Don't even get me started. All of my in-laws (except hubby's brother) are crazy. That's all I'll say about that in case my stalker reads these boards, in which case I'll take this opportunity to tell her that she's crazy too. :mrgreen:
Girl!!! I know you and I know you ain't about to stay married to no man that's been caught cheating. Especially when he's been caught more than once. Hell to the No on that one!
