Sounds nice.

I agree. I read Mother's Day was started by a woman who lost her own mother, to remind people to show some appreciation. No gifts. Apparently she is appalled by what it's become. Unfortunately, it's been destroyed by commercialism. Like everything else.

Personally, I'm sick of the pressure of all these imported/commercialised holidays holidays. There seems to be a new one every year!

I think you’re coming down with something. It’s best you stay home in bed. You wouldn’t want to pass your illness on to your in-laws and parents would you ? 😉

Hehe

Fuck that. She had her mother’s days when her kids were little, she’s not in the trenches anymore- so unless she is doing a lot for your kids or you and her husband, she is not mothering. She needs to pass the torch. My mother in law gets crappy homemade craft from my kids and maybe a cheap candle or hand cream whenever we see her after Mother’s Day. She does nothing for her family whatsoever (and did the absolute minimum for her kids when they were kids), so she doesn’t need to highjack Mother’s Day celebrations.

Haha. Yes perhaps I should feel unwell. I'd still have to be reminded over & over about it tho. For years. I wish I could convince my DH to move away!!

^love all these. You guys just 'get it'.
Fuk yeh!!

I love the trenches comment that sums it up right there!

What about isolation?

The rules have eased alot in some states

Yep, in WA we've been allowed 10 people gatherings since last monday (27th)

I’m in WA

I think a household can also have (4) guests as long as the follow social distancing rules. I could be wrong :)

Awwww Congrats 💙

Why doesn’t he let you have them? Or would you rather not?
