NOW we know where your goat is tied, haha. You never worked at Halmark did you???
Michelle is well trained and does not demand much. She knows if she is lucky that day I will allow her to cook her own meal at home to celebrate on the cheap. She also has forgotten her password for this site, so you will have to accept when I speak for her that it is the truth.
She actually wants a Nintendo Wii for Mother's Day, so we may split that for Mother's and Father's Day.
Lauren may need some help with that gift. I think Michelle especially wants to play the boxing game against me for some reason.
Anyway, one gift for one mother. That's how it should be.
Am I right everyone???

See...I have a bit of an issue here. Not that I disagree on the one gift one mother thing...but, everyone knows my grandparents and my dad raised me. Mom was pretty much non-existant in my life...well...up until about a year ago. So...I always get my grandma something for mothers day, and usually my dad something too. (they split the being my 'mom' duties). So...now that Mom and I are actually getting somewhat close...do I get her something for Mother's Day?
Oh, and I've never been bought anything for Mother's Day. I have gotten lots of stuff from my kids...usually something involving a handprint, and if I'm lucky, it's been laminated so I can keep it and embarrass them when they're dating in 20 years.  I would love to get something nice from my "kids" for Mother's Day...not requiring something from my husband, though he IS one of my kids. You have to know him to know how correct this statement is, too. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Only thing I've ever asked for was a Mother's Ring...but I'm only going to get that if I buy it for myself. haha

Alrighty, I'll take that as vote for our side. Good point Brandy. Getting any sleep yet? You're lucky you missed the RSV epidemic this winter.
Of course there are always exceptions. Whoever fills in for your mom role should be your honor-ee. For some that might be a couple of people, and that's terrific.
But for the most part I believe the 'Mother's Day is for your Mother' stance is pulling ahead 3-1 now. I expected a beat down over this from the ladies, too.
The tribe has spoken! Sarah, hand your torch over to Brandon.....

Re:You're not my mother. - 2007/05/10 04:36
I have been told, in the past, that my opinion doesn't count as I was raised by a man, and therefore don't think like a woman. lol I still find this comment very funny, but I can see some truth in it. I really don't understand women sometimes. Ah well.
And yea...I'm getting SOME sleep. I'm lucky in that I have a LOT of help with her. Not that she's up very much at night. She wakes up twice in the night, and she wants to be fed and changed both times. And it takes a total of 15 minutes if I do it, and an hour and a half if Dan does it. haha He stops feeding her when HE thinks she's done. I stop when SHE thinks she's done. Therefore I don't get her in bed and get myself back in bed just in time for her to start fussing cause she's hungry. He's learning though. I've done this three times already. This is his first time. So I try to give him advice, and try NOT to say I told you so when he finds out I'm right and he didn't listen. And I've done the RSV thing. Kory had it way back when. Back before they really had a diagnosis for it...they just treated the symptoms and hoped he didn't die. Didn't even put him in the hospital. Which STILL makes me angry. One thing about it, when a little one is sick for so long...they rarely get sick after that. He's hardly ever sick anymore...since he turned 2.

Re:You're not my mother. - 2007/05/11 00:34
Ok Chad you knew I was comin on here soon. Facinating topic you know between you and brandon and my husband you all must be the biggest bunch of titty suckin mommas boys i've ever met. lol so, here are my thoughts. I work 40 hours a week, I take both kids to there ball while michael works evenings, I do their homework with them, I do the birthday parties, I buy their clothes, I do the house work, I put them to bed...do you see the trend. Michael gets to play golf every day mon-tru-fri. All I ask for on mothers day is for them all to clean my house so I can relax. doesn't cost a thing just a little sweat. kids can do it on their own even, just need supervision.
I don't know what mom wouldn't like so relax while their kids/husbands did some good ole fashioned house work.
This counts for 2 points for the girls because I am me and you are still a mommas boy. LOL
