What can I do for, or give to my mother on Mother's day that will tell her that I love her very much? Will giving her another gift such as chocolates and candy, or jewelry, or a sending her on another vacation do? Should I cook her a delightful (oriental) meal, or simply get her a card?
Guess what? Perhaps I should take her grand child to her house and let them bond some more.., interesting idea. Let both of them play around, speak about olden day things or let my daughter show my mother some of her modern dance moves..
Hmm. what could make my mother feel great again this time around.., what should I do?

I also agreed that love should not be shown through materiality. Just do something that both of you or everybody can enjoy together. A simple trip for a picnic, or to the nearest park can be enjoyable and memorable, both for bonding and merry-making. Or the three generations can get to the kitchen together and play with flour and eggs.

Interesting proposition you presented.., that idea in the kitchen is good. Can you imagine both the ladies are covered in flour? Ooh, I should'nt contemplate that idea, as it may work against me -as I may be the only one covered with flour -since these ladies may ovewrpower me and douse me with the flour instead! Anyway, that's a lovely way of supporting the bonding efforts.., I thank you.

Your idea of bringing your daughter to your mother for some bonding moments is just perfect especially if there are only few times in the past that they get to bond. Youthful presence can be very refreshing for your mom, so I guess it is a lovely idea.

Ladyhemingway, thanks for supporting my initial thoughts on the matter. I agree that this type of bonding between grandmother and grand daughter would be great for all parties involved. I shall work on accomplishing that main objective, despite the challenge that I have to overcome; of prying my daughter from her mother (even for a few hours), so that I may execute my plan for my mother.

Giving large amount of cash and jewellery should be nice for anyone, if she is a housewife, maybe help her do chores for few days or month. Sometime the gesture of doing own laundry , cooking for yourself or family , cleaning the toilet sweeping floor mopping jon takeover is good already for her so that she can sleep and rest more. Giving her good health supplements is nice also in my culture.

Mothers do not feel happier if they will be given materialistic things. Of course they will appreciate it but what would make them more happier is when they see their family together. Your idea about bonding is good. This could make her think how perfect she is as a mother and could make her remind of past years' sacrifices as a mother.

I think the best gift we can give to our mother is to cook her favorite food for breakfast and give her fresh flowers. Send it to her room while she is still in bed. Bring your kids to give a little surprise to her like kissing her and greeting happy mother's day. Mother's doesn't want to be given material things or expensive vacation but a little care, love and attention will do to make them happy. So I think my idea will do..Good luck to you!![b][/b][i][/i][u][/u]

Indeed, I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Interestingly, my mother is a traditional woman when it comes to eating, and I know that she'll have to be swayed into trying het taste buds at oriental cuisine. Janky23, do not worry because she trust my cooking; whatever it is that I choose to prepare for her (smile). Should I decide to prepare that meal as a part of my package, I may have to carry this meal to her after she returns from church. I shall carry my little one with me (as a surprise), so that they can interract again!
Thanks again Janky23.., your idea and (the rationale behind it) is great.
Hmm, in an atmosphere of competition,(meaning that she has more children who are thinking
I shall
