What is a good idea for Mother's Day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Flowers are always a safe bet. NOT cut flowers! A plant that will flourish and grow and provide pleasant memories all summer long. Taking Mom out for a nice meal is also a good idea. She won't have to decide what to cook, or cook it, or clean up afterwards. Tell her what she means to you. Tell her that you love her.

What do you give your mother-in-law for Mother's Day if you hate her?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A gift card to somwhere that you know she kind of likes...but not all that much.

OR if you have to pretend you like her, buy her something that will make her more miserable in the long run: if she smokes, more cigarettes, a cool lighter or a new ashtray. If she likes chocolate, buy the richest, most caloric and biggest chocolate candy ever.

Why did they change mothering Sunday to Mother's Day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two different occasions. Mothering Sunday is a traditional English festival which is always held on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Mother's Day is an American innovation created in 1913. Mothering Sunday was in decline by the mid-twentieth century, but the arrival of American servicemen in East Anglia during World War II helped to revive Mothering Sunday and so the the US title crept in to English usage.

How often does May 14 fall on Mother's day?

I was born on Mother's day in 1966, and it's only happened now three times if I'm correct. I always figured it was every 30 years, but because of leap years it ends up being 28. Another cool fact, it's also the day that Israel became a nation in 1948?

Asked by Wiki User

MOTHER'S DAY This humorous and satirical depiction of a mother's status in a family was written way back in 1950 and till date stands quite true in cases of house wives. Unless and until she fights back for her rights her contribution is not recognized in the family. The characters in this play are Mrs. Annie Pearson (the mother); husband Mr. George Pearson., son Cyril, daughter Doris and the neighbor Mrs. Fitzgerald. Mrs. Fitzgerald knows tarot card reading which she had learnt while she was living in the east with her husband. She finds out that Mrs. Pearson does not get the due respect she should get from her family and advices her to take strong steps to be the mistress of her own house . Though Mrs. Pearson doubted herself if she will be able to follow her advice. She didn't want any unpleasantness in her house .More over she didn't know when or how to put her point.Mrs Fitzgerald advised her to start that very day but Mrs. Pearson was reluctant as she won't be able to keep her promise. Mrs. Fitzgerald had an excellent idea. As she had learnt many magic in the east, she can change place with Mrs. Pearson i.e.Mrs. Pearson will have Mrs. Fitzgerald's mind and vice versa. They both held hands and sat on the table quietly. Mrs. Fitzgerald enchanted some magic words and their minds got exchanged. After Mrs. Fitzgerald with Mrs. Pearson's mind leaves for her house Doris arrives and sees s her mother smoking. She is shocked. She has an argument with her as now all of a sudden her mother is not ready to iron her dresses for the evening or prepare tea or even supper.

Dorris was horrified at her mother's attitude and runs away crying. After sometime Cyril appears from work and he too is flatly denied when he asks for tea. Cyril was alarmed and asks if she was feeling well or not? Then Mrs. Pearson takes out a bottle of stout and drinks. Both the siblings are astonished and start wondering if she has had a fall or hit her head. Now Mr. Person arrive and all three start complaining about tea not being ready as they had worked so hard for eight hours. to this Mrs. Pearson says that from that very moment she would also work for only eight hours a day and weekends off.Mr Pearson gets angry and get ready for club when Mrs. Pearson tell him that people at the club call him Pompy Ompy Pearson and laughs at him. He becomes very sad. Now Mrs. Fitzgerald with Mrs. Pearson's mind enters the house and seeing everyone sad asks to leave Mrs. Pearson and her alone for a few minutes and may be everything will be all right. On being alone Mrs. Fitzgerald enchants some magic words and again their bodies get back their mind but now Mrs. Pearson's family give her more respect and considers her likes and dislikes also.

Do US orthodox Jews celebrate Mother's Day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Several sociological surveys into this area of practice among that particular

community have revealed, perhaps surprisingly, that some do, while others

don't. But in general among the Orthodox community at large ... perhaps

connected somehow with the fifth "commandment", it's difficult to tell ...

Orthodox Jews do tend to maintain an elevated level of contact, celebration,

and 'honor' of their mothers, whether or not it happens to coincide with any

particular date on the commercial marketing calendar.
