How many do you have?

My Number 1 Mum is my birth Mother of course! (She gave birth to ME by the way and it wasn't the other way around) And she's not to be confused with that other person's Mother who is of course THEIR number 1 Mother. Same goes for all those other dudes and their opinions of their own Mothers as well. I think there's really no other option but to have a "Battle Royale" type event on Mother's Day itself and we'll crown the last standing Mother as the true and undisputed number 1. It does seem only fair and those spammers do deserve to be accurate once in a while.....

Love your style. It never ceases to amaze me how you come up with your discussion topics!!!! This is a goody!

I have no living mom or aunt any longer who was my 'other' mom.
It is safe and appropriate and behooving to say that my wife is the one who gets called morsan (mummy) in this house since we have the cutest dog.. you know how it is don't you?? I am farsan (father).. so to speak..

and yes.. our son was ADOPTED so we, neither of us, had anything to do with the conception and thus his appearance.. but this way, I also have someone who is 'our number one mum.. since we talk out loud in front of the dog so he knows who is who.. LOL.. I can't believe I explained all this.. I feel like the village idiot!

Hi ya p1kef1sh

Ah that would be because it is Mother's Day in the US in May!! I have now got a new stepmum thanks to my dad!! She's really nice but nothing can beat my birth mum who is absolutely great, the best!! That reminds me, I must arrange to get some flowers sent to her! Cheers for the reminder p1key! X

Hi p1kef1sh,

My "real" mum put me and my three sisters into care when I was a teenager, so because of that I've always had a difficult relationship with her, doesn't stop me loving her but I don't like her. I was fostered to a couple and they are still very much a part of my life and I don't know whether I strictly think automatically that she's my first mum but my children do think of them has their real grandparents because they have been the constant influence in their lives since they were born not my real mum.

Well, as my birth mother and I did not get along, I guess the only other person that I have looked to as a mom, was the landlord where I lived for so long. She was there for me no matter what I needed. In fact she was there for all that lived in her houses. She made sure you had a way to the doctor. She made sure you had the money to buy your medicine. Anything that a real mom would do for you. I love her and will always consider her the mom that I never had.

Erm yeah that is weird haha! It's just the wording of the spam I guess - the people who send out this crap are not exactly rocket scientists and don't often even speak English as their first language so they might have even been implying that you should buy a gift to show mum she's no.1 BUT who else would be your No 1 mum? A valid discussion and food for thought. I can imagine yes, if you had a birth mother and a foster mother or adoptive mother for whatever reason but generally the people I know who are adopted refer to their adoptive mother as their real mother and don't have a relationship with their birth mother who abandoned them at birth or a young age (whatever their reasons might have been). Personally I have one mum, my birth mum and even at this age if I found out she was not my birth mother, I would not consider anyone else as my mother as this is the one who's loved me and supported me my whole life and she's my best friend too!

Dad married.... a lot.... Cathy, Maggie (sister cerrie), Maggie (sisters amy, michelle), Maggie (me), Mary (Kimberly), Carol, The*Itch, and didn't marry but has lived with for like 17 years - Sally.

Father's dad is so much simpler because Nathan didn't count.

*sigh*

Mom is Mom.... no tops, not fighting, just as it is.

But there are people I admire that get mom's day cards... just because the are great mom's.

Actually some call their mother in laws mom/mum.. or god mothers that also.. and some like to get their grandmothers something to on mother's day. For me, my biological mom is my number one mom..You know I could just never bring myself to call my husbands mom,mom..I tried once and it just got stuck in the throat a bit and just never came out it felt soooo wrong..and my husband doesn't call my mother, mom or anything else but her real name. Maybe he didn't feel right doing it either.

1 mom.. my birth mom.. i dont claim any others and i know the feeling is mutual lol!

My birth mother is my favourite (and only) mum. I think even if I had 10 other mums she would still be my favourite, lol! She's very kind and chatty and she's great with my daughter, who gets spoilt rotten whenever they see eachother. And she's funny too. She has a unique personality and sort of an old-world charm! I hope I've inherited some things from her, hopefully some good things, lol!

I don't think I would buy anything for her from the site that spammed you. Based on the spam that I get, I dread to think what kind of things they would want me to buy her. ..And she's more easily shocked than I am!
