Mother's Day drawing?

Am I selfish for forgetting mothers day?

  • i have forgotten about mothers day every year for the past few years, when i was a kid i used to make my mum things at school but now i'm at secondary school no one mentions it. but i log on to the internet today and see all this stuff about mothers day.. i have no way of buying her anything today and i feel like drawing her something but she will know that i forgot as it is half past 4 already and i haven't said anything about it! in the past when i have forgotten i haven't felt guilty but this year i do, i feel selfish as my mum is amazing and works so hard. i also forgot her birthday when i was 13 but made up for it every year since as i felt disgusted with myself. i have a good relationship with her, i always offer to help her with things and jobs round the house, make her tea, respect her and am polite, we talk about things, i tell her i love her and give her hugs..but i can't help feeling selfish and like a bad daughter for forgetting

  • Answer:

    hey there hun, dont beat yourself up about forgetting mother's day. You seem like a really lovely daughter anyway and as long as you are a good daughter and show her how much you appreciate her a lot of the time, then why should one day make a difference? Its like valentine's day; one day doesnt necessarily prove how much you love someone. better to be a good spouse the other 364 days of the year, than on one day where you feel you have to because its what expected of you. If you are a good daughter in general, which it seems you are, why get flustered about one day? Its better to show someone you love and appreciate them more than once a year, rather than one day a year because you feel you have to. I'm sure she already thinks you are an amazing daughter. Dont worry about forgetting mother's day, if you want you could buy her a card and flowers today or tomorrow and be like i forgot completely about mothers day and i feel bad, but i just want you to know i love you and appreciate you and want to make you happy and proud everyday, not just on mother's day. dont feel bad for forgetting though, your mum is lucky to have you by the sounds of it. hope i helped :)

Hell yes, you are selfish!! WTF, you are old enough to get on YA by yourself and you are old enough to get your mom a damn present. AND now that its Mother's Day, you sound like you STILL aren't going to get her anything! Selfish!! Now, go make a stupid coupon book and honor every coupon. Or at least a card. For Daisy's sake, get off the computer and go make your mom a freaking present or card. it's effing mother's day, you know!

You just... forgot! She might feel bad but not if you draw her something. Maybe if you have a cake mix or brownie mix make her something.

Just call her and tell her how you feel about her. And mark the day on a calender next year.

You're not selfish! You help her with so many things, and it's just an accident , its not like you forgot on purpose. You felt guilty anyway, so you can tell its not in your personality; it's a mistake. You tell her you love her, so she knows and it's more than I do haha. You'are not a bad daughter, you seem really helpful :) Plus, you're in secondary now so you probs have a few more things on your mind now, i'm sure she's forgiven you. It's the thoughts and feelings that count ! :)

Even I was wanting to know some opinions as I forgot to wish my mother a mother's day today :( ;(. Though I said sorry But she forgave me

In my point of view, it isn't so great appreciating her for one day - you seem to be doing it on other days as well. So just walk up to her and give her a hug, a kiss and a wish. It'll count for much more than anything you can draw/make/buy for her. You're a good daughter. Don't worry.

If it was me id give her a call and talk to her.oh and you can make up for it at christmas.

It's the one special day devoted to your Mother for all the things she has done and is doing for you. You're basically saying, it means nothing by forgetting her on this day. It hurts her, but she will NEVER let you know. It matters not, that you do other things. You can see right now when Mothers day will be next year. If it were a concert you wouldn't forget. If it was a big party you wouldn't forget. But you forget the ONLY person on the planet that would give her life, has given you much of her life, and would in fact give you her life, to save you. You are right. No Mother wants a last minute gift or recognition. All that says. Is that with all the TV ads, radio Ads, reminders at school that Mothers Day is coming..... YOU "CHOSE" TO FORGET ME. I hope you can become a better more caring daughter. The cost of the item is not an issue. That you took the time in advance to do something special for her, swells her heart with love & joy for you! You just need to decide what kind of daughter you want to be. If hurting her intentionally every year is ok, then proceed as usual. She will make sure you never see the pain in her heart. But now you know it's there! Your choice.
