Re: poll: mother in law's mother's day
did you do anything for her, or did you let your h handle it? i was prepared to handle it...i asked H on Sunday morning if he had gotten her anything and he said no....so i reminded him to pick up a giftcard (we had already picked up cards the day before).
what did you or he do for her? just an amazon giftcard (she uses it for Kindle downloads)
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? yes, we spent $50 on my mom as well.
did you do anything for her, or did you let your h handle it?My real MIL is dead. I made my Step-MIL a card for Mother's Day
what did you or he do for her? Just the card and a phone call
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? No. I made my mom a mini album.
what did you or he do for her? We weren't home so nothing. We'll probably take her some flowers tonight, she's had a really rough 5 days.
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? Not really because his family doesn't really 'do' these little holidays and I leave it up to him to do something.
did you do anything for her, or did you let your h handle it? I did it, but he wrote in the card.
what did you or he do for her? I got cards for both of our moms, and symphony bars. They both love them, and honestly we just can't afford to give big gifts right now.
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? The same. Although the card I bought for my mom was more expensive, ha. It just happened to be absolutely perfect.
did you do anything for her, or did you let your h handle it? Let H handle it
what did you or he do for her? He sent a card (well, I mailed it but he bought and signed it), and he called her
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? Yes
what did you or he do for her? See above
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? Nope. I got my mom a custom passport cover, sent her pajamas and painted her a picture.
what did you or he do for her? i sent her a card and signed mine and DH's names.
is what is done for his mom equivalent to what you do for yours? no, we bought my mom a nice pair of earrings. but my mom also lives 15 minutes away as opposed to across the country, and we are much closer w/ my parents than his.
I handled it. I found a necklace that I thought she would love. I texted SIL to see if they were in on it. He contacted his dad about it. We went together to pick it up. Audrey colored a pic. I picked out the card from Audrey. She chose a restaurant for us, them, and dh's grandparents to have lunch.
My sibs and I cooked dinner for my mom. We all got her cards, including Audrey with a colored picture as well. We did not get a gift. She asked for a home cooked dinner sot hat was what she wanted. I asked my bros about getting her a gift.. they said no.
