Which mom-type do you have? Match your mom to a Mother's Day recipe

This reads like Cry Me A River. You all blessed she decided to bring you into the world. She had other options. Ask Nancy!

would the authour of this artical sugest the new mom has her ham and asparagus strata in the restroom or does she only think babies should eat there?

my mothers day meal would be monkey bread and a cup of coffee. my mom although very disfunctional was in essence a loving mother-(13 personalities, and in and out of therepy, bi-polar, and ocd's.) she didnt teach me to cook, she couldnt handle anyone else in the kitchen..she was beaten as a child and had a hard life that continued into adult and parenthood. but she raised me to see people for who they are and accpt things you can and cannot change, to know your past doesnt have to be your present. she never stops apologigies on special days..thinking she needs my forgiveness for something she did or didnt do, but she thinks im good to go..i tell her its because she raised me. she sculpted me, not anyone else. so if you like yourself, regardless of your mother --then thank your mom for YOU turning out the way YOU wanted to.

I wish I could tell my Mom that for all the thing's that agrevated me then I would love to tell her that I understand why she was, the way she was and thank her for taking care of me the way that she did. She was the best that she knew how to be. Thank's Mom. Don't wait until it's too late!

I guess I was so blessed to have my Mom. She is the sweetest,kindest, loving, beautiful Mother, I came home from school every day to a wonderful home made dinner, Never ate fast food as a kid, To this day we have the best relationship. Her life was her kids and her husband. She is also from Madrid Spain and they seem to put their kids first. Love you madre.

oh just thinking that the mother of "Patti" is a very lucky woman.
Happy Mother's Day

I guess I am really blessed to have my mom, she is my best friend and has been all my life. I am 36 and have a 9 yr old who says the same thing about me :)

Food and mom. Essential elements. My mom is such a great cook, and she taught me to take care of my husband in the kitchen week-in and week-out. These recipe ideas are wonderful! What a great article.

classic mom is my mom, but the gift is so not her.

I have no memories of my mother cooking for me. It was my dad until they got divorced then I had to cook for myself and my sister. I was 10. Is it any wonder I don't know how to prepare a balanced, healthy meal?

I'm waiting for Shine to have an article based on the very Dysfunctinal Mother Prototype--cant wait for Sunday to be over--sigh.

I can see a bit of myself in all of these "moms" even though I am truly the "new mom" with a 2 year old and a 2 week old. Alas, I'll be catering to my mother-in-law on my second mother's day. But it's alright, her son is worth it! ;-)

Not a one of them was my mom---caustic, sarcastic, mean, rude, meals when she felt like cooking (to be somewhat fair, there was only 2 of us by then) extremely strict, explosive. Was she an alcoholic? Nope, never touched the stuff. Oh, hard hearted and maybe 5 times in my enitre life before she died she told me she loved me. Most generally I never measured up and never good enough and not worthy to love. So, in memory of Mom, if the enitre meal was everything sour and bitter that's would be the memory meal. By the way---the other 5 kids in the family all felt the same way I do.Despite everything, I love her then and still do and always will.

My mom died in 2005. I miss her every day. She was the most marvelous cook and always had a smile the size of Texas. She always set an extra plate at dinner just in case " a hungry mouth drops by".

lol I don't see my mother represented here... She'd fall under the category of "Mother who is pickier than a two year old, and who won't eat anything green unless it's disguised a la Jessica Seinfeld". I think I'll just take her out to dinner instead.

My mom was killed in a car wreck in 1967. I miss her but really missed her when I got married and had my children. I pray I would have made her proud to know the mom and wife I am.
It is sad to know so many moms and daughters don't have a good relationship. I do understand but life is so short and I pray relationships might be worked out. I would love to have another chance to tell her I love her.

Heather, I feel bad for you if your mom never took you to a nice restaurant...I hope you do differently for your kids.

none of these "match" my mom

My mom is closest to the sentimental mom. She taught my sister how to cook and me how to bake. I loved to watch how she would frost a cake. She was so graceful. When I became a mom all the women in the family would get together on Friday nights when the men were working. Our kids would play together and the women (usually my mom or myself) would bake something and we would coffee clutch until the wee hours of the morning. To this day mom still goes out of her way especially at christmas time to make sure there are plenty of sweets for everyone. My dad loves the old fashioned cocoa fudge and I am the only one who really makes it anymore. I make it every year for both of my parents on their special days and yes tomorrow I will be making old fashioned cocoa fudge for my mom on mother's day. I always have to make a batch for each of them other wise they fight over it! Lol. I love you mom!

Well, I'm 17 now and my relationship with my mother has always been rocky. Last september she blew up and left. She came back, and realizing she needed help she found it. She's gotten a lot better since then and our relationship, although still deeply wounded, is healing :) She really is an amazing mom who cares for me and my three sisters, and so today I'm excited to celebrate her! I made ugly truffles with love xD <3
