Today this is one of the most beautiful questions you could ask

It means a lot to me in many many ways
A little over two months ago I get a phone call from my mother asking me to come pick her up
She's living with my sister and she was helping my sister in many ways buy a house and blah blah blah
Anyways I get a phone call ask me to come pick her up I asked her what was wrong and she said please just come pick me up so I go to the house and I asked her what's up
She breaks down starts crying and tells me that my nephew has been bullying his mother and his grandmother her.
And last night he had threatened them both yelling screaming and had this big machete in his hand and she said she cannot take it anymore it's happened many times

So of course I want to find my nephew and she said please don't just take me out of here I want to go find a new place to live
Can you take me and I said sure come on I said this matter of fact why don't you just pack a bunch of clothes I said I'm not going to let you go live someplace I have two extra bedrooms
She was such a typical mom I don't want to do that I don't want to interfere in your life or your lifestyle
I started laughing I said go pack your clothes

She does and then I get her in my car and I take her home to my house and she said no really let's just go get a paper and I can find a place to live and I said know you're not going to do that
I said you can live here until we can figure it out

When I was 16 I moved out of my mom's house because of her new husband he would have been my second step dad
5 years prior she had just divorced my first stepdad and I watched her go through pain heartache
The new guy went to put his hands on me and threatened me I stood up to him and told him never to touch me again I didn't know my mom was standing behind me as I turned around I look deep into her eyes and I could see that it hurt her what I said to the guy but I meant every word of it a couple weeks later I've moved out

Anyway all holidays and stuff like that I was always around
And if I ever needed anything she was there for me
And if she ever needs anything other there for her probably not as often as I should have been
So anyway all these years have passed and I realized she knows nothing about me only hearsay only the negative and I think it's kind of funny because even the negative is wrong
So the very first night as I cook dinner I told her please don't cook anything I'll cook it because I didn't want her to catch my house on fire LOL it's kind of sad when you remember this beautiful energized smart intelligent funny woman and now she can't remember much she forgets her train of thought she forgets what she was talking about and in that moment when it happens it really bothers her but it's crazy to see how drastic a person changes as they get older that is their almost reduced down to a child in a roundabout way it's heartbreaking

After about a month living there she asked me what I wanted her to give me for rent I started laughing I said nothing she said yes I have to give you something I said no you don't she persisted I said okay fine pay me what you were giving my sister I said how much is that I said we can split that in half she said $1,500 I about shit my pants I said you were kidding me I said you're not paying me a dime that is totally uncalled for
She tried to battle with me for a few minutes I told her look erase me for 16 years I can raise you for the rest of your life

Then she asked me where did I learn how to cook how did I learn how to cook
I told her one day I got hungry LOL it started that day
She said every know that I have made it's like eating in a restaurant she said it'd take you five minutes to get something together and it's delicious
It was one question after the other she sees that I helped a lot of people and she said where did I learn that from
I just smiled she said I never knew you were like that she did I mean I knew you would like that but not to the

My mom didn't birth me and my sister were adopted from the hospital but my parents only wanted a boy but we're twins so we came together so that's the way the hospital let us leave or made us leave these are the only parents that I know but I thank God that the parents that gave us up for adoption were smart enough to know that they couldn't take care of us and do what they needed to do cuz I don't know where my life will be today so I appreciate my mom and my dad for what they've done for me all my life and they're still living 😉👍🏿✊🏿

My little bro and I were fat babies! Both of us weighed almost 12 lbs! 😄 I appreciate our mother raising us herself and with good intentions, but she wasn't the most kind or easy to talk to. When ur young, that really makes u feel lk shit and rebel bc u can't confide in ur own mother. U look for a support system in all the wrong places then bc ur young and lost. But the past is the past. I still call and visit her often. I am seeing her tomorrow and taking her to a German restaurant for a brunch buffet. I always give her a card w/$100

Paulalove98 · Accepted Answer

Yeah im very thankful for that and everything she's done for me. My mom had me sort of later in life. She was 38 when she had me and she's now 62 healthier than ever. She got cancer when i was only 2 but she defeated it thanks to God and much strength as a warrior. My mom is my best friend and greatest supporter. I don't know where id be without her. Pregnancy with me was harder on her body since she was older too and took her some time to recover compared to when she got pregnant with my sister younger lol.

shaysh87 · Answer

I dont think birthing process is the most important here. Anyone can give birth but it doesn't mean you're a good mother. A good mother prioritizes her kids above herself, her marriage. A good mother is not only someone who just says she loves you but also sacrifices herself for you. A good mother not just cuddles with her kids but also knows how to raise her kids into successful educated responsible adults.

Few mothers are genuinely 100% good mothers who can fully prepare their kids for the future

Sarahr123 · Answer

Apparently when we are on our periods our cervix dilates 1cm that’s why we get cramps and that’s why early labour pain feels like bad period cramps. I can’t even handle period cramps without 1000mg paracetamol and a hot water bottle so I think women are amazing for going through 24+ hours of labour pain - especially the people who don’t even take epidurals. Women are literally saints. People can get 3rd-4th degree tears downstairs, the placenta can get trapped and people can die.

NathanDavis · Answer

I do appreciate her for so many things more that she's been doing for all of us, not just me... since 50 years ago, which is around the time she met my father, I think... lol

as for the details and celebration, my niece is working and preparing something nice for her, my mother... so yes, I am helping her with that

meetkitty123 · Answer

I am thankful for being alive but my relationship with my mother is complicated. I am NOT thankful for many things she did to me growing up. I am not thankful for a few things she has done to me as a grown woman. I do acknowledge she has been trying to make emends. Before I had my children mothers day brought unease. Now my children bring me joy on mothers day. I suppose I can be very thankful towards my mother for teaching me what not to do to my children.

EyeKnowMeNahYou · Answer

I definitely appreciate my mother birthing me. I'm sure in her womb there were many others that didn't make it, I especially know that I had an older brother that was a miscarriage. That being said I'm definitely thankful for my mother birth and me because she made a choice that affected her entire career and life. And I know that within all of that I've been a blessing to her life, as the middle child and as her child. Being a mother is a full-time job just like being a father is there's no on and off switch and yet these individuals no matter how hard it looks for us on the outside still manage to make it look easy. Why wouldn't I be thankful.

melanieeeB · Answer

Sure, giving birth is always really admirable and I respect the pain and everything surrounding it. But with my mom, on one hand I'm really thankful for her and love her and on the other I can't forgive her for my children and teens.

I did get my mom something that she already wanted months ago and I hope she likes it.

Lucy68 · Answer

Considering I had to be vacuumed out of my mom and it was too late for a C-section add in the fact her whole body was stretched and she had some tearing. Hell yeah I appreciate my mama. Oh and she was in labor for 26 hours

dolemite89 · Answer

my mom always said i was her easier pregnancy/birth of all my siblings so i do appreciate it but she said i wasn’t that bad tbh 😅 she lives kinda far away from me closer to my sisters so I call her on important days but she has dementia really bad so sometimes she remembers me and is happy to talk to me other times she doesn’t really remember me all that well.

Moose304 · Answer

For more than just bringing me into the world. I lost my mom almost 10 years ago. She was there when I needed her. One of my fond memories of her happened in 1976 when I was departing the Atlanta Airport and headed to my duty station in California. I was sitting in the Eastern L-1011 and could see her with an aunt waving bye as we pushed back.

Bluemax · Answer

I appreciate her and all she has done.  Alas I won't be celebrating Mother's Day since my mother died.

Ghostluck · Answer

I have seen porn where women are shoving things inside them twice the girth of a baby's head. And they do it for pleasure. That doesn't really make me appreciate birth all that much. However, I am very thankful my mother was pro-life and chose to have me. Shame not everyone gets that gift when their mothers literally have them killed.

HawkPerception · Answer

Lol... I would rather have not existed at this point in my life, but I definitely appreciate all my mom has done for me

Guardian45 · Answer

Although her birthing skills were amazing, cuz I have a FAT head (7¾)! Even more miraculous was raising me to adulthood without committing infanticide! Let's say I tested her, and she decided one was all she could handle! In my defense, I was left unsupervised for majority of my juvenile record. 🤣

David_Kek · Answer

Do you appreciate your dad for blowing a load in your mum?

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Appreciate. I just wrapped up her gift before, going to go see her after dinner. I got her some cozy super soft lounging pants and her favourite chocolate. Popped it in a container of hers that I stole and wrapped it up 😂 I think it will be funny to open up a present that is in your own container

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

I appreciate my mother, but not for birthing me. But for fulfilling the role of a mother. Anybody can remain pregnant, its natural. But fulfilling the role of a mother, here lies the problem.

Sixgunsound · Answer

This will be the first Mother’s Day since my mother and I stop talking.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Nope. My mother was never ready for a child, nor was my father, and they should never have had me.

My mother knew having me was a large risk, but still did it. We both almost died.

I wish she'd never had me. I'm not grateful for her poor choice of birthing me, either.

Alwayreckles93 · Answer

My mom does not deserve shit! She used me and my brother to get money child support from my dad once at the time I turn 18 I left home because once the child support checks stop coming she wanted to force me to marry this rich dude. Yeah not all mom's a good mom's. I stop celebrating

Squaresquirrel · Answer

No, I don't.
She grew up in care (not her fault) and had no idea how to raise children. I was malnutritioned as a toddler. She was never there for me, she didn't know how to support me emotionally, and it was more important to her to cheat on my father and to leave us when I was 12, leaving me with an emotionally unavailable father.
Practically I had to raise myself. I got food and bed, but that was it.
So, no. I don't. I had a shitty childhood causing a lot of damage.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

My mom has tried to sabotage my life ever since I was old enough to talk, she became pregnant with me because she wanted access to my dad’s money and labour around the house so I do not view her as a lover of my existence, I view her as an annoying roommate that is always yelling at you.

TCredo · Answer

Have always and will always appreciate how she brought me into this wonderful world. She passed away a few years ago. I do get her something on Mother's Day and leave it by her gravesite :)

Anonymous · Answer

Being a mother means more than just child birth. She should have maternal instincts and do what every she can to make her child's life better. It's a rotten world to bring kids into, babies are forced into the world, like it or not. This doesn't apply to a lot of caring loving mothers. I just saw today on the news , the anniversary of the death of a young boy who was tortured by his mother and her boyfriend and social services didn't catch it in time and are being sued. Look into DCFS and see how many rotten bi**he's gave birth.

Emilyis · Answer

I sure do and my younger sister and mom were in the delivery room when both of my children were born.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Yes I do very much and every year on my birthday I wish her happy birthing day too, since she did most the work.

libsaretards · Answer

I definitely love and appreciate my mama. Unfortunately I'm in a rough patch in life so I cannot do much more than call her and wish her a happy mother's day. I feel a little bad about it

CasaNorba · Answer

not really, judging how my mom treated me growing up I always got the sense that the reason why she had me was to use me as a tool to manipulate the life out of my father and to also use me like a dog that you can train to serve her whenever she feel miserable

John_Doesnt · Answer

If my mother hadn't had an abortion she would have died and me and my brothers never would have been born. So I'm grateful she had access to abortion so she could give birth to me and my brothers.

Anonymous · Answer

Since my father told my mother to get a job or get pregnant, she got pregnant with me. They already had my sister first. I lived my Mom, but my existence has been very hard. It would have helped my Mom and us if my father had paid child support when he abandoned us.
She always loved her daughters and we loved her!

DonkeyDan · Answer

Considering I hate my mother and the feeling is mutual I'm sure, as she showed zero love towards me throughout my entire childhood and all though adulthood, I don't really have any appreciation towards her at all no.

Rei02 · Answer

Thanks for her, I have had the chance to live and discover on my own what life really is.

OldSchool_Metalhead · Answer

Of course! She is badass for raising me too because i was a pretty wild kid.

Anonymous · Answer

Well she likely didn't do it solely for me lol (meaning she wanted me, I didn't have a "choice"). So she went through that for her mostly. But I can appreciate it lol.

Djaay · Answer

I can appriciate a woman doing her GOD givin ability to birth. But there's 2 people to appriciate in this as well as the new child of both parents. I do NOT worship women over her child.

gabby100 · Answer

Yes i generally go to the place we. put her ashes. And leave some flowers..

SnakeBoop · Answer

Nah. She was abusive and gave me a shitty life. She lied to my sister that I was the result of rape when I was not and has manipulated me and my life to get money from my father and the government.

mrkdvsn · Answer

Although my mom passed away many years ago, I very much appreciate the fact that she decided not to abort me or my 2 sisters

Lili9502 · Answer

I feel like I have lived a pretty good life so far and I'm still enjoying it and trying to make the most of it so yeah I sure I would thank my mom for birthing me.

My mom will always have my love and respect for bringing me into this world. With that said I have some very serious issues with her otherwise.

It's hard to be appreciative when I'm always being reminded of how miserable her pregnancy with me was.

bayoubob · Answer

Funny question. Ask it you get funny answers. At this junction. 32% say no. Those people should die. They love themselves some lefty libtardism. What is it they do appreciate? Makes a person wonder.

My mother does not deserve appreciation for anything. She's a shitty person and isn't a significant part of my life anymore. I celebrate my dad on Mothers Day and Fathers Day.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Nope, it’s a shame the fucking stork did not peck her eyes out and take me some place else.

Chiarac2003 · Answer

It’s not a mother/mom……it’s a “birthing person”. Please refer to the updated “PA” manual.

I appreciate her for being my mother. Not for giving birth to me.  For those who didn't get it bring a mother is more than birthing someone.
