If the child is still too young to do something for mom by him- or herself, I think it would be appropriate for the parent to get a card and small gift (picture frame, #1 Mom bookmark, etc) and give it in the child's name.

If the children are school aged, they normally make things at school for their mom`s. I got a really nice flower box and my other son put flowers in it!!But if they are too young to make anything or buy anything. why bother? Would two year old really notice? It`s Mother`s Day, not buy your ex wife a gift day!!!! It`s the child`s responsibility!!It`s their mom!!

I would never expect my ex-husband to do anything for me for Mother's Day. Yes, we had children together, but once that divorce decree was signed we stopped being a family. If anything, it would be up to my children to remember the day rather than my ex. I'm not his mother, after all! Should he choose to say something, well, that would be very nice, but definitely not expected.
As for my children, fortunately I have one who always remembers holidays, and two others who always make art projects at school for Mother's Day. The rest of the family gets reminded by these boys to be extra good on Mother's Day. Today, for instance, the oldest boys dusted and vacuumed for me. That's present enough!

Well I have tried to do that, I had remarried and my new wife took my daughter to the store and got her mom a bracelet for mothers day. Don't think I ever got a thanks, but that wasn't the point anyway. Well when Fathers day came, I thought it was real crappy of my ex not to have my daughter give me a call just to say happy fathers day. Wasn't wanting anything material....just a call would of made me happy. So since then I haven't went out of my way for her again. BTW my daughter was 6 at the time.

No, I don't. And I don't want anything. My mom used to get things for me. Now my husband takes cares of it.
I think as an adult, and if I am not with the father of my child, I shouldn't be selfish and expect anything. Just having a child is the best gift a mom could ask for....seeing them smile, give kisses and hugs, it's just great.

If your child is too young to shop I think it would be wonderful if you took them shopping or picked something out that is to be from your child. She is the mother of your child, no matter what differences you two may have it is important to do this, at all holidays I think but especially mothers day.
It is important that your child grows up seeing you two being nice.

he lives out of state. once he was visiting for mother's day, and he and my then 4 year old bought me some flowers at walmart while i was at the other end of the store.
and several years ago, he would call and say happy mother's day before asking to speak to my daughter.
now, nothing.

get her a card and get her a card from the kids and have them sign it to, if you want to, get her some flowers but never red roses it means love get white or yellow, even though you don't love her anymore its nice that you remember she gave your baby life. your a good guy.

I think you should get her a little something, just to say that you appreciate her being a mom to your kids. It doesn't have to be mushy, just appreciative. Good luck!
