This sound pretty stupid for a 65 year old lady but should I call my mom on mothers day?

If it were my Mother, and if it were possible, I would CALL her. She won't be around forever, and then, most likely, you will regret it if you don't. Call her! Good Luck!!

No, unless you had you mother's permission.  \n\nNow, if she gave permission then it would be perfectly fine.

Do you have her number? I'd deffently call her to see if she'd want to do something without her mom around.

Maybe you should say, "Mother, I am growing up and I need a little bit of space to be my own person.  Please let me do what my instincts tell me to do instead of yours."  With a smile and hopefully she'll understand!\n\n*&#92;O/*

although I am a mother, I also have a mother!  I will go and visit her and take her a plant and a card, give her a kiss and tell her thanks for being such a wonderful mom!  I just don't believe so much in all of these special days for things.  Why focus on one day.  My daughter is young and she tells me all the time what a great mother I am, or brings me cards that she made me, or makes me gifts.  What I really want for mothers day is to know that I'm loved all year round...not just on a certain day but for all the years to come. :)  We should never wait for a certain day to let someone so special know how much we love them.

I am convinced that all days are special days for honoring our mothers.  I find it ridiculous that some people tend to forget all about their mothers but still think that showing up with chocolates or a dinner invitation on Mothers day is a big thing.  \nI'll continue to honor my mom everyday, and I would urge you to do the same. (in case you are one of those...!)

I don't know what to say about the man troubles but I found that your mother having a chuckle and then making the comment you wrote to be very insensitive also.   \n\nA birthday isn't the end of the world but it is something that is nice when mentioned.  It's your special day, usually the only one for most people.  Your man should be considerate and remember.  You have to remember though that guys often forget about special days and dates.  There is no cure for this.  \n\nIf it is really important to you then you should mention it over breakfast in the morning.  Don't be all psycho about it.  Stay with your normal routine and just happen to mention how nice it was to receive so many calls on your birthday, by so many people who cared about you.  Then all, NOT psycho, say "I must have missed your phone call"?  \n\nWait for the response and if your not satisfying with the response, then go psycho!  just kidding.... Its ultimately your call on how special you expected to be treated.

i would recommend your time and love its not about whats physical give her a day of rest. If money is an obstacle just tell her how much she means to you and make her feel like the queen for a day every mother deserves it!

Obviously, I don't know all the legits about your situation with your mother, however sending a card never hurt. I believe that you should send your mother a card. If she still doesn't like you, at least you know that you tried.

my mom did over 20 years ago.  This is the worst mistake she ever did according to her.  Yeah it was great raising us and she actually did a wonderful job.  Today however she realised that she we are all grown up and she is all alone with nothing to do.  She is trying to get her carrier back but its proofing a lot difficult.  My advice to you would be to do it but have some part time work particularly at work.  Volunteer in orgnazation and go back to school.  This way when the kids are all grown up,  you would have to butt into their business in order for you to have something to do.  You will resume you career pefectly.  But remember the final decision lies with you.

Just tell her exactly like you did here. I think most women would understand. They'd be honoured if you called them "mom" -- and I think that applies to m-inlaws, and stepmoms, but don't expect it, and understand it if you cannot. I cannot call my inlaws mom & dad -- and both my parents died young -- they're fine with it -- maybe disappointed deep inside -- but they understand as likewise, they felt the same about their inlaws...and so it goes.

What your grandmother is doing is trying to get your mom and you to talk again and be the best of friends by buying you. it is bribery. there is a deeper issue between your grandmother and your mother.she is making you be nice to her so she wont have to deal with her

Not at all!  You aren't telling her what to get you (unless she asks), and I assume you are doing this for some reason of principles, and I think good for you for doing that!  Hope your mom respects your wish.  and Merry Christmas!

no your mother doesn't hate you! moms are just people and sometimes they make mistakes, but its not your place to tell her that she is wrong, she's the mom. often times if you want to be heard you have to make sure you are 'presenting your case' in a reasonable and respectful manner, even if what you are saying makes sense nobody is going to hear you if you are ranting and raving, i'm not saying that you are just letting you know. when you are both calm and reasonable tell her you'd like to talk to her, think about what you will say beforehand and stay calm.

Hey, get a grip if you are thirty-two then you are old enough to know that when the time comes she'll tell you. But, be an adult, not a spoiled kid obviously she's lived with it all this time and there may or may not be something she doesn't want you to know just now. It doesn't change anything between you and your grandfather, apparently it didn't make any difference to him! Give your mom time and get on with your life, don't let it define you life!

nicely tell her the same.  "mom, i'd be more comfortable with a lady doing that."  i've ALWAYS had a woman ob/gyn and that's so cool to me.  i'm 26 and i will till i'm 76.  it's a good idea, but, baby, you gotta be straight with your mom and tell her - no man down there yet.  she'll be cool, VERY cool, with that.  btw - there's a shot coming out soon you should get to Prevent HPV, which millions of women have these days.  go for it. good luck with momma.
