But let's face it. There comes a time in every mom's life where you receive a stinker of a Mother's Day gift. Where you smile politely on the outside but your innards are slightly churning with a mix of bitterness and amazement that someone would even consider such a gift.
Like Nataly Kogan from Work-it, Mom! who told me that one Mother's Day her boss gave her a guest pass to his fancy gym. Says Nataly, "One, a boss should not be giving me gifts on Mother's Daay and two, a guest pass I can use once so I can drool over this amazing gym for the rest of my life? I don't think so."
And yes, her boss was male.
Or what about to just enjoy the goodness of being a mom to cute little kids? No such luck for Heather Flett of the blog Rookie Moms. "Last year, I had a two month old and a two year old so all I wanted was the "fun" parts of mothering: playing, cuddling, and silliness without any of the tantrums and poopy diapers. Guess what I got? That's right, tantrums and poopy diapers. There's always this year!"
What's the worst Mother's Day gift you've ever received? And if you can remember back, what's the worst gift you've given a mom?
