As a mother, you really shouldn't expect anything. This is the role that we've decided we wanted to take on. I know for me, getting presents are nice...but I don't expect/want them. I'm content with just a hug and kiss from my kids. Don't allow yourself to get so caught up thinking that being recognized with gifts on Mother's Day is what it's all about. Just because you may not have received anything, does that mean you stop being a mother? Remember, there's always a positive in every situation. Be thankful that you're someone's mother. There are so many women right now trying to conceive. There are so many who can't conceive, but don't have 20,000 sitting in their account to get the adoption process going. Mother's Day is about showing gratitude, this doesn't necessarily mean buying gifts. For little ones that can't talk, they don't understand. The smile on their face when they see you in the morning should be enough. If you really think about it, acknowledgment one day a year doesn't equal the amount of stuff you do daily anyhow!
