I do have one question: Should I wish my W a Happy Mother's Day? As a reminder, we do not have any children together - 3 each from a previous marriage. The Brady Bunch. LOL
What do you do with the mother of your children?
Great question Cadet!
When our childen were younger, if I dropped them off for Mother's Day, I would wish their Mom a "Happy Mother's Day." Now, I don't go out of my way to call or text her.

So what is different here?
Why do you want to do this differently and she is not even their mother?

Rd and Cadet, thanks!
To answer Cadet's question, I would always take my W and step-children out for M's day.
Obviously, that isn't going to happen. I thought it might be a nice gesture.

Thanks for telling us how the day went, Bob. I know you were nervous. As for Mother's Day, leave it. You can be nice without wishing her a Happy Mom's Day.

I wished my H (the father of my children) a Happy Father's Day last year and he never responded. A few months later he made a comment about his Mom never responding to his email (he was overseas at the time) wishing her a Happy Mother's Day. I commented that he never responded to me and he replied "I'm not your father."
Food for thought....

Hi Bob, I wouldn't do anything at all for Mother's Day. Presumably her kids will arrange something nice. You have to remember - you're 'fired' from this kind of activity just now...
Hope you're doing okay, and nice to see the support you're offering on the forum.
Take care, T :-)
