When You Don't Like Your Mom...

Mother's Day can be pretty annoying. Not to disparage all the amazing moms out there, but some of us have "challenging" relationships with Mama. Here is a collection of humorous pieces to lighten the overbearing load.

Most likely you have other cool people in your life and Mother's Day is a good time to share a laugh with them! You are not alone!

for real! glad i am not the only one. i thought about making a card that says, "just cause you made my organs, doesn't mean i think you are awesome," but feared i'd be the only one sending that lovely message.

Heh! Thank you. I am one of those so "challenged" by my mother. When I mention the challenge, I usually get overloaded with stories from my friends about how great *their* mothers are - which in no way whatsoever helps me with mine. Tips on how to get the Prozac into her tea, now that- that would be helpful!

If it's not one thing, it's your Mother!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with mom problems! These are awesome...I love the crazy bitch card. If I had guts I'd give that to my mom for Mother's Day, haha.

If it's not one thing

I'm lucky, I don't have any mommy issues.

But we'll be talking on Father's day...

Me and my mom haven't talked for 2 years. At least I don't have to shop for presents!

This is awesome! I hate those "show our love" days (AKA valentine's mother's day etc.) it's so unnatural.

OH this is too funny!

I've got three of them and only one is challenging... Not a bad point spread...
Although the challenging one has taught me so much about what not to do in kid-raising, and that can be very important...

Cute photo. I've got a watercolor on my etsy. Mirror, mirror on the wall...I am my mother after all :)

COunt me in! Mother's day is the most superficial idiotic concept in the whole wide world.

Geez..I thought I was the only one! I hate shopping for cards - it makes me cringe just thinking about it!

May 9, 2008 at 5:47 p.m. embellishedday

I totally got to this thread a few weeks too late. count me in....mothers day is one that I dread. My sons make it nice for me but my mother is so narssistic that it is very hard spending time with her without my head exploding....made it thru another one this year!

Ah! I totally missed this! Thanks so much for using my photo! Strangely enough, it's actually not a mother and a daughter, though... ;)
