    Some parents are indeed shitty and are seemingly a waste of space but they still are your parents. They love you with all of your faults, its awfully selfish to not do the same. I mean walk in someone elses shoes, its been 7 years since I last heard my moms voice or even touched her, I used to take that shit for granted too but anything I can do to help someone to appreciate someone just a little bit more makes me feel a little bit better about being such a shitty son in some cases.

    Alright im done lol, I dont want to turn this thread emo.
    right on my brotha

    yeah, don't think i would stop speaking to my mom. even after any shit she does, she's still my mother.

    thats tough

    I'm probably going to just do the card and a little message thing, im in college and any money I have is from them (most of it anyway) so no use in buying anything of any other value. I'd agree with at least always talking to your parents every once in a while, they deserve something for making you who you are, even if they did a shitty job. You'll probably regret it in some way after they are gone if you didn't.

    It's a long story, Miz knows why, pretty sure he is the only one. Im not the kind of person who likes talking about shit like this, so I'll leave it at that.

    There's no need to feel like you're going to mess up a thread with that. You're speaking the truth.

    This last year my mother and her sister finally went down to see their father after around 20 years. He walked out on them and they felt terrible about it for a long time. They did reconcile and I know they felt much better about it. He died a few months later and I'm glad they were able to see him once again on good terms.

    My sister and I are going to cook a nice meal for my mother like we've done the past few years. She enjoys it and I think it's a nice payback for the thousands she made for us.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I also live pretty far from my mom, so I'll also be sending something. Last year I sent her an arrangement from http://www.ediblearrangements.com. It was relatively inexpensive (~$65, less than one of the nicer flower arrangements I was thinking about sending), and even came with a card, balloon, and a teddy bear because that's how my mom fucking rolls. She loved it, but I really didn't necessarily want to do the same thing again this year.

    oddly enough I sent her the same shit last year. The chocolate covered strawberries one.


    I'm not sure what I'll send this year. I hate sending gift cards, but I may do it just because she loves to shop.

    Mother's Day and my mom's birthday are pretty much the 2 days out of the year we let her run shit and she gets the awesome treatment(sucks they are so close together, her birthday is on Tuesday). Generally we start the day off with some homemade stuff, my dad makes her breakfast in bed, me and my bro make her favorite cake + split the dinner cost and she pretty much decides where she wants to go. Generally it's this Spain restaurant on 7th Avenue in Manhattan. Also we have to fit in the family church event that she enjoys doing on her birthday and Mother's day.

    When I was in Rochester I sent her a Macy's gift card cause she loves that place + 1 of those edible arrangements.

    I have a hard time trying to find gifts for my mom... We are really close. She is into breeding / showing pugs so last year I put together this picture frame that had pictures of a bunch of her favorite pugs... I found this reallllly nice box that someone on DeviantART made with a gorgeous pug print burned into the top, but I don't know if he will sell it to me...

    Gonna take my mom out to her favorite sushi place in Berkeley and catch up over dinner. Ever since I moved out a few years ago, my parents have been feeling a bit lonely, I think.

    I don't even know what to get my mom. If my mom wants something, she just gets that shit herself.

    Honestly I would but I have one of those moms that's actually not a big chocolate fan so the appreciation would be there but the impact, not so much.
