Absolutely the worst! Next year for my birthday, when my wife asks what I want, I'm gonna ask that we don't participate in Mother's Day... Besides giving up my birthday, I'll happily concede Father's Day too.

 
Not really that bad.  You usually have a nice meal.   Swim meet is far worse.  Then there's a dance recital.  Maybe you're just doing it wrong.

 
Yeah WTF is so bad about it?  Card, flowers, little gift, nice meal, boom, done. Real nightmare. 

 
Trip to NJ, table for 12, 4 kids under 5, 90 minute wait - that was just today... Still another day tomorrow. #### this!

and maybe you're doing your ####### swim meets wrong

 
Yeah, your party is way too big.   You can't roll that deep on mother's day.   There's no right way to do swim meets.  They're inherently terrible.

 
Had the boys make her homade cards today. Will give her those tomorrow and maybe flowers if I get the chance.  

Gifts??? My wife and I don't give gifts for any occasion. Why cause we are adults and if we want something we will buy it then. 

 
Card, a massage gift card, some flowers, maybe.  Family tradition has been to go to the garden center, buy whatever she wants without comment, and then to spend the day lifting, toting, digging, planting at her direction until she is satisfied with the yard.  Then dinner out or I cook.  I worked hard to win her.  I make the effort to keep her. 

 
My wife's 40th birthday has fallen on Mothers Day this year.  Thankfully, she's not some needy broad.

A couple little tokens, a gift certificate to ****'s, and a photo album with a personalized note and pictures of her and our boys through the years.

 
My wife doesn't care. I get her a card and she's happy. I'm going to watch Captain America today with one of my kids. She thinks Valentine's Day is dumb. She's a keeper.

I'm confused. Sounds like nearly everyone in here is celebrating the wrong person.

If you practiced harder maybe swim meets wouldn't be so bad 

 
My wife wants a quiet house and a girl's pampering day with her girlfriends. My mom wants all of her family over. So we made breakfast for my wife and junior and I are about to head to my mom's for the day. Both are happy; win-win.

I see what you did there bro.  Well done circumnavigating the filter and well done giving wifey the ####.

 
We do the big extended family out for dinner the weekend before so we don't have to deal with the crowds. 

Today, got her some coffee and donuts in the morn and let the kids give her their gifts (stuff they made at school). I am working my rear off to do some cleaning, chores, etc around the house. Will go get some lunch for take out and bring it back and do more cleaning, chores, etc. Then not sure what we will do for dinner. 

Not sure what makes it all that horrible. I am doing a little extra cleaning today vs a normal weekend.... but is that the end of the world? I dont think so.

We always plant our garden over mothers day.  The wife loves the tradition and she and I get it done with the help of our 4 and 2 year old.

 
My Mother's Day started with me bringing coffee to the wife in bed, going down on her, then getting to finish myself. Then I prepared an elaborate brunch with bagels and lox, fruit salad, eggs, bacon, sausage, and mimosas. Then we called all of our mothers/grandmothers. And now we are playing games.

This is an awesome day! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

For somebody who seems to have a pretty good life going (good job, housing in NYC, wife, kids) you sure do complain a lot.

Jeez she could have helped you out here a little.

 
Me and my wife spent her mother's day in nicu with our 4 day old daughter who suffered a stroke. My heart bleeds for you.

Totally.  As a severe hemophiliac, my son has spent at minimum of 12 weeks of his life in a children's hospital.  Regardless of the number of machines he's hooked to or the amount of times he's poked with needles, he never complains.  Of course, he's got it good compared to the poor kids in the hospital with bone or brain cancer.  They and their families never get to leave.

Obviously, none of them have it as bad as fc42.  Dude has to drive to Jersey and wait 90 minutes to have lunch with his family.  Not sure how he does it.

Is it me, or does this guy repeatedly come off as unusually self centered?

 
Had a great day today with the family.  Took my son's Mom to the mall, had a nice lunch, did some shopping... When we got home the sun finally came out for the first time in a week, so we went on a nice four mile run in the countryside.  Cooked chicken and steak on the grill while she and my son watched Forest Gump.  Doesn't get any better.  :thumbup:

For starters, maybe don't make it "Mother's Day Weekend".

 
My wife's mom passed away a few years ago, and my mom's nuts.  So it's not the best day around here, but my kids had a blast as usual.  

 
Mother's Day turned out much better than the day before Mother's Day. Took my in-laws to a nice brunch, then came back to my house where my father-in-law and I did some projects around the house that I've been trying to get to for the last few weeks.

I'm not complacent - my goals revolve around everything being perfect for my family and myself. Maybe that separates me from the average Joe :shrug:  

When I'm sitting on a beach sipping a cold beer, retired before 60, kids in a great spot to enjoy their lives, without a care in the world until I die, then I'll relax.

I'm in your same mindset and can say thus is a dangerous world...especially anxiety-wise.
