Mothers day next week

[rascal]

Is it the same in northern hemisphere?.
It is here so I don't cook on mothers day and my wife likes a treat.
All our kids and grandys love Indian so it was suggested and booked last week.
Pay for each other. We have a voucher for '$150 from xmas last year.
More than enough.
What do you do??

It’s the 14th here this year. We’ve never done much that way - no holidays like that allowed when I was a kid.

I’ll call her on the day.

Here it's all about the living moms./ mums.

It's always a tough time for me. My mom was in the hospital on Mother's Day in 2015 and died May 22nd (my father's birthday).

Usually I'll send MIL a gift or in the past we've had her over for dinner. I'll be out of town this year--I'll be dogsitting for my brother in Houston, so I'll be alone. Usually I get a text from the kids.

I don't have any living mother, grandmothers nor mothers in law in the west.

Mother's day in Thailand is 12th August (Wan Mae, the birthday of Queen Mother Sirikit).

In Italy is celebrated usually bringing flowers/chocolate box or just a call.
I was used to call her on the day and bring her flowers or cooking for her.
Next week I’ll just think of her and whispering I love her wherever she is now.

I'll send. nice flowering plant. My mom does't care much for cut flowers. My sister will probably have lunch with her.

Was back in March, here in the UK. Neither me or family celebrate it. But if they did, I think a I'd like a dozen oysters please.

Yep - Mother's Day here is the 2nd Sunday in May. It differs from country to country.
We're going to a friend's house for lunch.

Funnily enough I was driving back home from grandkids rugby, I spotted a sign
"Bluff oysters here"
I'm going back there tomorrow.

My mom doesn’t make a big fuss over mother’s day, she’ll be happy if I get her some flowers. We’re estranged from my husband’s side of the family, so no fuss there.

It’s also our anniversary weekend (15 years!) so we’ll probably try to do something to celebrate that. We’ll keep it low-key.
