To all mothers out there! How would you feel?

If you never heard from your 23 yrs old son unless you call him. No Mother's day card or wishes. Then my 20 yr old daughter who lives 20 minutes from me couldn't even be bothered to come and say Happy Mother's day, bring a card. They did however manage to go to her fiance's mother's house, bring her a nice gift and spent the day there. My son did the same thing with his girlfriends mother! This is just unacceptable to me. I have always been there for them. When they are in trouble, I am the first one that they turn too. This hurt a lot yesterday. How would any other mothers out there feel? Am I overreacting?

    Oh, yes I would feel hurt. But I would also make sure that as a Mother I am keeping in contact with my kids. Ring them every other day, chat about anything, get them over for tea, help them in small things and you will get rewarded in larger things.

    I have 4 kids and 4 grandchildren and we talk every other day. I work full time so have to fit everyone in and it is hard but so worthwhile. Tell them you love them when you see them even if they hurt you, and they will see this and do their best to please you. Get your husband to help too. Keep your conversations positive and focus on what their doing, include Dad and the rest of the family in your talk and they will want to see you.

    I miss my Mum every Day since she passed and I regret not doing some of these things with her, as she lived overseas, but I know your kids will be thinking of you, just not sure how to approach you, so make it easy for them.

    Hey

    I'm so sorry, and no your not overreacting granted my kids are still small that wil hurt me a lot. they are suppose to honor thy mother, and have much respect. I couldn't even think of doing my mother, in such of a way. let them know how you feel, and how that really hurt you. sometimes you can love your kids from a distance. so that way you can protect your feelings. as you can see your the only one hurt from this. so you have to make the decision, on if you wanna keep trying. or just let your kids live ther lives while keeping your feelings protected. Happy Belated Mother's Day and God Bless u.....

    Of course you are NOT overreacting! You should tell them both how you feel in a gentle way and to the point then drop it. If you are over dramatic, you will lose your point.

    Good luck and stay strong! Happy Mother's Day!

    It sounds like or they are very selfish or something happen between you guys. Maybe you don't know it but perhaps you did something to make them feel this way.

    they probably think you know that they love you and they just want to spend time with the "stranger" i did this to me madre last year but she knew why i did it so no you arnt over reacting unless your like "they dont love me or care about me anymore"
