DS turns 9 on Mother's Day.
I can't bear to share my holiday with someone else.
What should I do? |

yeah, I think we're having a "sleep-bro-ver" with 10 little boys. With a taco bar, make your own sundae, and wii all night long.

Declare that Mother's Day in Swampland is _________ (insert date of your choice.) 
This will also be good because if your family wants to take you out to eat, the restaurants will be less crowded. |

I'm just posting this in fun, as a parody of Susanna's thread about the inlaw who is horrified that someone dares to get married on her anniversary. I actually don't care about mother's day, and I'm acutally looking forward to this "sleep-bro-ver." DS's friends are a good group of kids. They will amuse me to no end.
What I really need is to get DS a dog for his birthday to clean up after this taco bar thing. |

A dog would be the worst Mother's Day gift ever.

Why would you spend Mother's Day with the kids, especially DS after a night of tacos, ice cream and Wii? The kid will be cranky, tired and whiny. Make your DH put up with him for the day. YOU go out and enjoy the day at a spa somewhere.

My birthday is on mother's day as well. I can't stand sharing my holiday with my b-day. What should I do??  (But really, happy birthday in advance to your DS.) |

I just remembered: I brought a foster dog to meet a family. After a while, I let her off the leash so she could explore, and she headed straight to the dining room to clean up the remnants of their taco dinner from the floor. |

Actually, can't you use the combo holiday to your favor? Let your DH do everything about the party and you find a weekend spa someplace......preferably warm.

Mine and DH's bdays are just the right number of days apart that in a year that his falls on Mothers day- mine falls on Fathers day. It's always a big joke. One time we had DS plan the entire day. We gave him a budget and a few options of where we could go that day (beach, museum, big city all about 2 hours away in different directions). He choose and didn't tell us where we were going until the day of. We gave him money and he had to "pay" for it all.
It was really quite fun. I think DS was 8 at the time.

I have the same issue with my son, just not this year. Just remind yourself, if it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have be a mother (not quite true for me as DD is older).
I remember when we got married my grandmother was annoyed that we didn't get married on her anniversary. It was a Sunday in the year we married, plus, my older cousin already did it. I wanted my own day!!

OH THE HORROR OF A CHILD WHO DARED TO BE BORN ON A DAY THAT MIGHT, SOMETIMES, ALSO BE MOTHER'S DAY!! WHAT A BRAT!! (Just kidding! Offering my parody of the drama queens on the other thread being bent out of shape for sharing a wedding date....) I have a March b'day and for over 50 years it never landed on Easter until a couple years ago, I finally lived long enough to nail it - which meant we had chocolate eggs and bunny cake to celebrate my special day that year Why does Easter move around but Christmas is always Dec 25th? Shouldn't the day someone died and the day someone was born be pretty much fixed? |

My birthday sometimes falls on Labor Day. I am so sick of going to birthday cake-free barbeques! How dare your party not be about me!

There is an English bulldog named TankerBell who may be up for the challenge. |

One time after a family party, DH left to take the kids home. While he was gone, our dog made quick business of cleaning up the floor. When DH got home, he thanked me for cleaning up. I totally took the credit.

LOL! My old dog's alias was "Automatic Food Disposal". Sometimes at other people's houses (that own dogs) my kids or someone else's kids will make a mess and I will ask where the Automatic Food Disposal is. They have no idea what I'm talking about. But often the Automatic Food Disposal, uh, I mean dog, comes and takes care of it.  I miss having a dog. |

I actually had to share my 40th birthday with Mardi Gras. But it worked out well. The whole city turned out to help me celebrate with parades and drunken debauchery!! One hell of a party and fun was had by all (I think - it was a tad fuzzy)  |

Just don't make him share your cake! I texted my sister that childhood christmas pic and it made her recall the birthday she had to share her cake with Father's Day... Apparently it stuck with her.

My sister was a Father's Day baby.
The ironic part of all the drama in my ex's family is that my daughter and her aunt (the SIL) not only share the same birthday, but they share the same name. I was very determined not to name my daughter after anyone in the family, and my BIL went and married someone with that name. I should have refused to let her be the flower girl, right?
And my SIL's son's is the day after my daughter's and her birthdays. No one in the family gets their own day. The (currently) youngest grandchildren are cousins but were born 10 days apart. So they had to share their first birthday. My son's and his wife's birthdays are three days apart so they celebrate inbetween.
My grandkids barely get their own names! I have two nine-year-old grandsons (cousins) named Zac and Jack. The baby cousins are Tim and Em (say it and you will hear the rhyme).
Enjoy your Mother's Day. We do mine a few weeks later so my daughter and daughter-in-law can be Moms of the Day. I'm not sure that totally works, but my daughter appreciates one less Mom to celebrate on that one specific day of the year. |

Dogs are the best things ever. Dogs are good... but only when you want one. Meaning when you want one enough to get one for yourself.
So it's great to get one yourself but maybe not so great if someone else gets one for you. KWIM?

What should I do? Stuff him back in the womb and give birth on a different day. |
