Warning Dont Read - Absolute No Nos for Mothers Day
- Don’t give Mum a household appliance for Mother’s Day. It insinuates that the kitchen is the only place you value her. If she needs a new appliance, give her flowers on Mother’s Day and send the appliance a week later.
- Don’t insult Mum by giving her money. It makes it look as if you really don’t care what you give her, or didn’t have the time to go shopping for her. Particularly after she has done your shopping for years.
- Don’t make soppy, commercial gestures of love on Mother’s Day if you can’t carry them on for the rest of the year. True thankfulness and love is not a one-day-a- year incident.
- Don’t put your wife and mother into competition with each other. That is the best way to make two enemies at the same time.
- Don’t tell her you forgot it was Mother’s Day, if you haven’t bought her a present. Tell her it ‘s something special and coming later in the week. Then go find that ‘Special Thing and have it delivered.’
- Don’t buy Mum perfume, unless you really know what she likes to wear. It is such a waste of time to give perfume that only gets left in the drawer.
- Don’t buy your Mother clothes either, unless she has expressed a desire for a certain piece of clothing.
- Cheap is not good when it comes to wives or mothers! Go for quality not quantity when you shop for Mum. She gave you the best she had to offer you - her years of devotion.
- Don’t forget your Mother is a woman. Women love to be spoiled. Make an appointment for her to have a massage, or a special hair do. Or take her shopping for a special outfit. That will really blow her away.
- Don ‘t buy her chocolates if she’s spent months watching her diet.
