Don't go and abuse her trust. Your Mom is one in a hundred- appreciate her! You really should make it a habit to do something nice and unexpected about once a week, at least. Bring her flowers, do the dinner if she's had a bad day, wash the dishes without being told... just little stuff to make her know that you know that you've got a great Mom! My unemployed, slacker son (love him dearly!) cooks a gourmet dinner 3 nights a week. Having to do only 2 workday dinners, takes a huge load off my shoulders! I think he's caught on that happy Moms say "Get a job" less! lol - Granny :stoned:
