means nothing to me or my kids she was abusive as a mother and is just as bad as a grandmother so instead i went to the local care home and dished out chocolates and flowers to the ladies there.
Did anyone else not buy there mother a card??

i cant say i blame you, not all mothers are caring and worthy of love from their children, and to 'babygirl' perhaps she needs to walk a mile in another persons shoes before shes so judgemental!

How can you say your Mother means nothing to you or your kids? How could your kids possibly know that your Mother was abusive to you unless you told them?Buy your Mother a card and maybe don't expect any reply but do the right thing. I wish I could go shoppping for a card for my Mother but I can't. You still can. And for you to go to the local care home is very considerate of you. I always thought my Mother was alittle abusive towards me but then I did some research and figured out that the times I thought she was abusive, she was going through some really tough times in her life and that may hve led to some of it. I have forgiven her and all is well. I am sorry for the time wasted with her.

I didn't because she 's dead. i always tell people to be grateful that they still have their mothers when they whine about them them, mine was snatched away from me tragically when I was 16 and she's missed out on so much.
How awful it must be for you though, to have suffered as a child, probably just as bad as growing up without a Mum, or maybe even worse. I think what you did at the care home was a lovely idea.
Is there no way you can rebuild the relationship with your Mum? maybe she's sorry for what she did? If not just concentrate on being a great Mum for your own kids.
I wish you all the best, hope you can work something out.

I didn't buy my mum a card, I went to see her on Thursday evening, brought her to the hospital on Friday morning for a test (she needs a new hip and is unable to get around much at the moment) collected her pension, brought her out to lunch, done the shopping paid the bills and made sure she was ok, she is a great mum for which I am eternally grateful, came home on St. Patrick's day.
I have never ever been abusive to my 2 boys, have tried to give them what they need showed them love and encouragement, I cannot understand people who treat their kids bad, but, having said that I didn't get a card or a hug or a kiss, it made me sad.

I did, me and my mum have not always got on but at the end of the day she is my mum, I only have one, and she's always done her best and what she thought was right even if it didnt turn out that way.
Concentrate on being a good mum to your kids and let go of the past things your mother did

I'm lucky enough to come from a very loving family and love my Mum to bits but I've also encountered mother's like yours. Don't fret about it. Be a good Mum to your own children and enjoy doing what you're doing.
Lots of folk don't have anyone in this world so it's good that you care enough to be this generous. More power to you!

I didn't buy my mother a card; I made her one instead (I make nearly all my cards now) and she loved it. However, if your mother abused you then she doesn't deserve anything from you. What you did at the care home was really kind.

Mothers Day is another con from USA introduced by "business interests" to try to boost their profits from suckers in the gap between Christmas and birthdays, which traditionally were only dates of year when people in this country bought present for their friends and family. So you are not out of order if you decline to be "conned" by an unsanctioned contradiction to tradition in these islands.
