As I said my mom was away so I did not get to see her
My son is 18 and I have decided that his mom is his mom and not mine so he needs to take care of her on Mother's Day. I would help in any way I could but this was his mother.
So the day begins
He is in bed sleeping as he did almost all day, rarely coming out.
My wife went out with her mom to lunch while I did some house cleaning and the lump slept.
A few hours later my wife comes home. Her day with her mom was OK. No indication is was great, wonderful, horrible, anything, just OK.
As I feel bad that my son is being so neglectful, I offer to take her, not him, just her, out for a dinner. Nothing fancy I say, just pizza or something like that, but out. She declines.
She wants to make dinner.
So I wait, and I wait....the son never offers to help, never offers to set the table, nothing. When he finally come out I ask him what he plans on doing for his mom for Mother's Day beyond the card I had to almost pull him out of his room to give her. He did buy it so he is not a complete jerk, but still I should not need to remind him to give his mother a card.
When?
He has no idea.
It will never happen, trust me.
Listen, I am never going to win honors as husband of the year on here, but your mother is your mother and yes there are bad mothers, but he does not have one of them.
One of my biggest concerns in everything that is going on here is that NQRW needs a saftey net, people who will make sure she gets a soft landing. Shame is her son, her only child, seems unable to be any part of that net.
