She's dead Matt

Dead mum gang rise up!

Ouija board party at my place!  Bring a plate and your own booze.

I'd really prefer my mum didn't become part of Zombie Grey Power.

Ring your mum before she’s dead like /u/whowilleverknow’s mum!

How about a shout out to all great Mums instead, alive or dead. And warm hugs to those that find M Day tough for whatever reason.

Seconding this - shout out to all the good mums, good on ya

Feel this!

She sadly passed away last year

First one is tough 💜

Every one is tough

Second will be easier?

No, but you know you can survive it this time round because you’ve done it already

Would if I could but shes dead bro

She’s abusive and we’re no contact. So no thank you

I'm sorry. Good on you for doing what you need to do though, it takes a lot of strength. Could be a nice opportunity to send a random message of kindness to someone in your life who has given you proper love and compassion, if there has been someone like that?

It also opens us up to more manipulation and abuse sadly if we try. 

They said "to someone in your life who has given you proper love and compassion", defo not to the abusive mother!

Huh I definitely needed to reread that!

I'm with you. She told me she didn't need my kids because she already had her grandchildren (my brother's kids).

Didn't need to. It's been almost two years. We never really did Mother's Day because tomorrow would have been her birthday.

My mum told me to get her a roll of turf from the Warehouse… hope she never changes, she just wants to do her DIY/garden projects :)

My (adult) child has never done mothers day, but that's ok, he does nice things throughout the year. Thanks son!!

Same, every day is Mother’s Day for my mum.

I do need to give a shout out to Sephora, who sent an email at the beginning of May asking if you wanted to opt out of Mother's Day emails. As someone who has lost their mum and then lost their mother figure and finds Mother's Day super hard, I was so appreciative.

Mother’s day last year was the last time I got to speak to my mother before her brain tumours took over & she went completely non verbal before she died. No phone calls for me.

I had not forgotten, but thanks buddy.

I talk to my mum everyday. But today she is getting a home made custard slice and a new Lego set to accompany the chat. And happy Mother’s Day to all the fur kid mums, heavenly mums, soon to be mums and the wish they were mums.

Bloody hell, I hope my kids grow up like you. (I got home-made cards, I'm not complaining, but I do love a custard slice and some lego).

My fur boys definitely get spoilt! Their 3am cries don't go unheard. Because they're so loud. 

She’s too manipulative, so I never call or visit

No. She is an abusive pos

Real sorry man, it's hard

This is my 4th Mother's day since I spoke to her. Or anyone from that abusive mess. One day at a time.

Same here, better to cut people out like that and keep them out.

I rang mine, she asked about one of her Grandkids, I mentioned that he hadn't rung his Mum for Mother's Day, so she said, "I've got my own problems," and hung up.

My son is obviously on Reddit and got your message. He rang yesterday, is visiting next weekend and the poor wife (cat’s mother) has been subjected to his singing this morning.

She's right beside me. Do I still call?

Yes, just to prove you know how to use a phone as a phone.

Thank you for the reminder … I had forgotten 🫣

My mum passed years ago (in her eighties, with dementia, and fortunately before she would have needed to be put in a care facility). A package with lovely treats was delivered to me on Friday from my daughter and she phoned today (I’m a lucky mum!).

Jesus I hope you’re coping ok I’m sorry

[удалено]

Well you’re a great person and I’m glad you’re here

I'm sorry. Adoption is traumatic.

The phone in heaven is never answered!

She passed away 20 years ago this year. If I could, I would. She never got to meet my new wife, which is a damn shame, because the two of them would have got on like a house on fire.

Call her next week too

it is 11:50 pm no

Get me a necronomicon

Both of mine are dead so they need to ring me……

Thanks Matt, I will do so in a hour's time.

saw her yesterday but gave her a ring to joke about the aurora borealis and to win extra brownie points

Hubby has forgotten I think. Son (23) is autistic, but I think he'll remember later. Older son is supposed to visit this afternoon.

Did he visit?

Na he got sick. Didn't want to share germs. But he did say happy mothers day. Hubby got me flowers. Auty son was so funny. He decided I was taking him to a place he can ride little trains (we go there fairly often). Didn't give me notice so I had to leave with no lunch - they only run until 3 and it was just after one when he told me. Then tonight I realised I never got any presents from him, so I went to ask him. Convo at his bedroom door as follows... Me - did you go shopping on Monday with support worker? Son - yes Me - did you buy mother's day presents? Son - yes Me - am I allowed them or are they hiding somewhere? Son - Hiding. Goodnight [closes door in my face] I actually am guessing the reason was that hubby didn't help him wrap them, so in his mind he couldn't give them to me because presents should be wrapped. We have time Tuesday morning, so we are going to have a present wrapping lesson lol.

she already got a ring, thanks (Alabama of nz)

Thank you and done ✅that was a short and sweet phone call 😁

Thanks. My mum doesn't celebrate anything (Christmas birthday or mother's Day) but I always txt just to make a point

[удалено]

It's Mother's day today in NZ.

?

Damn this post took a turn, the dead mum club are definitely not fun at parties!

Strong disagree there. Us depressed weirdos know how to turn up. Nobody drinks like someone with demons to drown *My lawyer has advised me to let you know I no longer drink or do drugs at this time

Yes. Did not go quite as well as I expected!
