A Mothers' Day Card for ME Labels: Mothers' Day CFVixen said...

I love this! It's so wonderful when people (especially parents) really "get it!" Your mom sounds like she really does!

That is so sweet! I found a card very similar for a woman I consider to be like my mom even though she's not.

I expected that my mom would be upset with my choice not have kids, but she consistently says how good my husband and I have it. I'm lucky to have such a supportive mom and I know that.

That's awesome! I never really expect anything on Mother's Day, but I like the idea of a non-mother Mother's Day card. Very cool!!

Even though I don't have kids, my dad gave me a Mother's Day card the year before he died and it was so sweet since I guess he wanted me to have it for all the years he would miss.
Now that I'm becoming a step-mom (part time), I'm still kind of hoping that someone will acknowledge my little contribution to motherhood. We'll see. Or else I'll have to lay some big hints, lol! It's literally volunteering to be a mother to someone else's children out of the goodness of your own heart. However, it comes with some benefits that full-time moms don't usually receive. We still don't want to have kids of our own, but this way, we get to be around kids enough to reinforce the childfree part of our lives! :)

That is so nice, what your mom did. That's awesome that you have a good relationship with her now.

I can only hope I get to a place like that with my mother someday (I don't think she fully accepts my husband & I's choice not to have kids.)

I am only 26, but my husband recently had a vasectomy to cement our choice, and I still don't think it has hit her yet. She already has 2 grandchildren from my older sister, you'd think that would be enough. She treats my sister, her husband, and the grand kids better than she treats us. She even lives on the same street as them (creepy!) We tend to keep our distance, but have made attempts to be closer to my mom, but to no avail. I only hope (like in your case Mandy) that as time goes on she accepts me for who I am and gets it out of her head that I'm not having kids, ever. Running out of time though, she's not getting any younger and neither am I. I'm 26 like I said, and she's 55, so I hope there's still time for us to be close.

My niece sent me the best (non)Mother's Day card. The card made me feel appreciated and honored that I have people in my life that get the fact that I've made a life choice to be childfree.

I received two wonderful (non) Mother's Day cards, one from my neice and one from my BFFs daughter. I was then treated to a dinner, where when the waiter asked "Who are the mothers here?" my BFFs kids all pointed at me too.

I just loved this card. I would have cried - literally - if I receive this kind of message from someone.
