Mother’s Day is coming up fast and if you’re like me, you’re probably scratching your head trying to come up with that perfect gift idea for mom.
Isn’t it hard to get the woman who has everything something that’s unique and surprising? That’s where I find myself now.
But what if your idea doesn’t exactly turn out quite as planned ?
1. When You Snooze On Getting The Card
Don’t make this mistake and leave buying your mom a card to the last minute. Unless she speaks Spanish, of course.
2. When The Kids Try
You have to give it to these kids, at least they tried to make mom breakfast. Not sneaking a bite is another story. Haha!
3. It Ain’t Pretty But Does It Taste Good?
Hey, we’re not all Martha Stewart, the baking goddess, but at least if the cake tastes good that’s good enough.
4. When Laundry Fails
So your kids wanted to surprise you and get rid of laundry so you don’t have to deal with it ’cause it’s Mother’s Day. Oops!
5. When Your Husband Doesn’t Get It
And how about this lovely card from your fabulous spouse who clearly doesn’t get why Mother’s Day is important to celebrate? Charmer!
6. When Your Heart Is In The Right Place
Sunday pancakes are so much fun. Just don’t overestimate your skills when trying to impress mom on Mother’s Day. Oh well!
7. When Your Kid’s Too Honest
Sounds like somebody doesn’t like their mom’s meatloaf and he’s not afraid to say it. LOL! At least he’s being open and honest.
8. When You Expect Too Much
Some moms just expect too much of their kids, don’t they? Why would he make you breakfast instead of partying? Priorities people!
9. When Wrapping Ain’t Your Thing
I used to be so good at gift wrapping and now I just don’t know what happened. So I sympathize with him here.
10. When Hubby Does The Shopping
Sometimes you need to spell things out before you send your husband to buy a flower for your mom for Mother’s Day. Classic!
11. When Your Timing Is Impeccable
Before you send your mother-in-law that funny cat gif for Mother’s Day just make sure her cat didn’t die that very morning. Ouch!
12. When Your Kid’s So Thoughtful
Who needs sweet phone calls from their kids or flowers on Mother’s Day when you can just get a drunken Snapchat instead? Nice one!
13. When Your Kid Is An Artist
Okay, maybe not an actual artist but he does have some imagination, right? Don’t think this will end up on the office desk.
14. When You Accidentally Send Yourself Mother’s Day Flowers Instead Of Your Mom
This is a lesson to always review your order and make sure the address is not in fact your own that you’ve accidentally plugged in.
