My mom is ticked off :(

[Dedpuhl]

For the first time that I can remember (I am almost 25), I completely forgot about mother's day. I remembered it on Saturday (saw the AT topic on it). I tried calling my mom on Sunday and Monday, but there was no answer. Today I call and she is extremely ticked off and she tried her best to make me feel bad.

I don't get it. It's just another commercialized day. I always remember her birthday (and mother's day...generally) and we are always talking through email and the phone. I forget the day one time and she acts as if I should be tortured and killed.

Why are moms like this? I forgot one time. My sister (age 22) never remembers...


...but I'm the bad one....

*gets the pitchforks ready* let's get him!

seriously, your mom has issues

First, your sister is the baby and will NEVER be wrong. Second, did you explain that you tried to call? I guess she was expecting flowers, a card, and/or a gift of some sort. I always send my mom at least a card. Now that I'm far away from home at grad school, I send her a gift and a card for Mother's day and her birthday. I'm not worried about her being upset with me as much as I am letting her down. Oh, and then there is my dad. He would have my ass if I forgot mom's birthday or mother's day.

I agree. These Commercialized holidays ARE annoying. (Mothers Day/Fathers Day/Valentine's Day) I HATE them, but did get my mother a card, just because it was the day. I believe that there shouldn't be ONE freaking day where you show someone you appreciate them. (My GF doesn't believe me about this for Valentine's Day. Plus, I tried telling here there really is no signifcance to the day. As opposed to like a Christmas, etc.)

But I still make the rounds, just to keep them (Mom/Dad) happy.

I always get my mom something for both days. This was the first slip up. I just had a lot on my mind I guess (new job, trying to find a place to live, testing, all day seminars, etc.

My dad is a different story when it comes to father's day and his b-day. He tells me not to waste my money. Sometimes I call. Other times I send cards.

If he's 25 then his mother is likely to be about 50..you sicko.

Face it dude, you blew it....you must pay the consequences.

 

[fastz28]

Should've sent her an email card instead.

My Mother has been deceased for 17 years. My wife doesn't have one either. I bought the wife flowers, got her a card, made sure my grownup kids remembered, and then I took them all out to celebrate her day. It is a Special Day for them, too bad some people don't take it seriously.

 

[notfred]

I had flowers delivered to my mom, she liked them.

 

[LuckyTaxi]

seriously, your mom has issues

hehehe

 

[propellerhead]

I hate these stoopid Hallmark holidays.

I'd rather celebrate and thank my mom on a daily basis. Why schedule it on the second Sunday of May?

 

[blakeatwork]

I hate "special" days outside of Birthdays, or anniversaries....

I mean, what's the point of having a day like this (Mom's Day) if it's not a national day off??? Isn't that what makes it a holiday??

Don't worry about it, she'll get over it.


Just don't be like me and forget her birthday, or worse yet, your wife's birthday (I did that last year)

 

[Stark]

moms are weird. wives are weirder.

I get in trouble if I can't remeber our anniversary on cue. So I started using it as part of a password.

 

[BatmanNate]

I cooked dinner for mine.

 

[yoda291]

you know....in your defense...if you're oriental...the week b4 mother's day was children's day.

 

[spiridion]

it matters because you always remember it...you're expected. i forgot a wedding anniversary for my parents...yep last time i do that.

 

[obiwaynekenobi]

Oh lay Off I forgot it was mothers day too

My Ex wife was ticked.


oh well sucks to be her


my mom was glad that I remebed at all even though it was late

mmm the original intent was so that mother's could be recognized. You don't have to do anything special, just a call or something. It's like why should we have MLK day then? Of course it's to recognize his contributions to society. Same reason we have mother's day (IMO it's a worthy day)

I don't get it. It's just another commercialized day.

I'm with you... I usually blow it off and the wife usually gives me hell about it, so this year I did the whole flowers, card, gift and cooking thing and guess what... she behaved like a (semi)b!tch the whole day.. "This is MY day why should I have to do anything?" She practically ordered peolple around all day. I felt like a stinking slave man.... I tell my wife and children that I neither want or expect anything for "Father's day" because 1. it's not a holiday. 2. I do not feel the need to be congratulated or pat on the back for doing my job. If what I do as a father is worthy of recognition simply act like you appreciate it from time to time and, trust me, this does not require jumping through any hoops.
