He is young, newly single, just broken away from a very bad relationship and is sowing his oats, and doesnt need MD slowing him down. He loves me everyday and its unrealistic to have him take his ONLY day off to run across 2 states to sit with me. BAH! hallmark needs to be shot!

Dej, I agree with you. My boys do things for me every day. Every day! Oldest DS calls me every day just to check up and make sure I'm okay and not in need of anything. It's too bad that this commercial man-made "day" has to be presented in such a way that it makes everything seem inadequate. If Sunday was my son's only day off from work I would not want him to use it just to visit me because some commercial company said he had to. I'd rather get the other 364 days of "him" and know that he enjoyed his day off. That's a good Mother's Day gift. There's too much guilt being generated out there.
