"unbelievable" mother's day story! What do you think of this?

My boyfriend has been sick all day yesterday, all night, and today still. When I say sick I mean vomitting, diarreah, sore throat, all that fun stuff so filling out his mom's mother's day card and having her gift and breakfast ready for her this morning was not exactly a priority on his list as he barely slept all night.



So she comes up to him and his brother and says "so you guys didnt get my anything for mothers day"



the brother says he has a card and its in his room, my boyfriend says he has her gift in his room too but he didnt fill out the card yet and she says "unbelieveable" under her breath and walks away from them.



Does anyone else find this extremely unreasonable of her to say about her son who was ill all night? I can never imagine even caring about gifts if my kid was so sick.



Oh and in the past she got mad that the jewelrry they bought her was not big enough ($) and she was insulted when they gave her little trinckets and such instead of long stem roses.

How horrible! The mom is such a *********! Tell your boyfriend to ignore his mom, she's such an ungreatful jack @$$!



My mom is like that in so many ways and I can totally connect!
Reply:Wow she sounds like a little biiiiiitch! i'm willing to bet she's been this way ( insensitive and selfish) all of her life and at this point in her life she's not changing so if i were in your boyfriends shoes i would do what i felt in my heart and that would be all, no more no less.
Reply:A kinda insecure Mom. I wonder if she has reason to be? By the way - you could have wrapped her present and held her card so that he could sign it. But you didn't, did you? No like the Mom, eh! No Mom should ask for bigger things, not polite, not nice.
Reply:Wow that's unbelievable. I hope that she enjoyed her mother's day anyways.
Reply:shes not their mom then. she prolly picked them off the street and lied to them that she was their mom. its as simple as that. her real children are prolly in like kazakhstan or something.
Reply:wow, what a biiitch
Reply:some people just shouldnt have kids i guess
Reply:I heard on National Public Radio this morning that Anna Jarvis, the woman in West Virginia who had first promoted the idea of Mother's Day one hundred years ago, actually circulated a petition some 19 or 20 years later seeking to rescind the holiday - she was disgusted at how commercialized it had become, because merchants were promoting candy and flowers for Mother's Day!!! That was never what she intended it to be - she intended it to be to honor mothers, and perhaps to have a letter or a hand-made card. Since then, we've had 80 more years to get even MORE disgustingly over-commercialized, with merchants promoting more and more expensive gifts.



Your BF's mom is frightfully immature and self-centered. I'd suggest your BF explain that if he is so sick that he dies, she doesn't need to worry about Mother's Day at all (and besides that, it is Mother's Day for the whole day). Then he can tell her that he is trying to honor the day in the spirit of Anna Jarvis, its creator, by not sullying the day with crass commercialism. But honestly - they should both understand that if she is complaining about their gifts, they really shouldn't bother with gifts at all, because they can NEVER make this woman happy.
