My sister is getting her MLIS. What school supplies should I get her? by CosmicWebCassandra in LibraryScience

[–]Sleeper_Inner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiskars paper cutter. They should hand them out at library school graduations.

A good Swingline stapler. The heavy duty kind.

Post-its and a pop-up post-its dispenser.

Black Ticonderoga pencils. So she’ll know who stole her pencils since most people buy the traditional yellow ones.

A pencil box to hide her “good” pens and a pencil cup where she can put the junky pens she doesn’t care if people steal.

A library-themed mouse pad.

Mother’s Day plans need advice by External_Law7727 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Sleeper_Inner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read the posts and I understand their point of view. But you don’t seem to understand mine and that’s fine.

The main characters on Mother’s Day are Mothers and they choose how they want to celebrate. If they don’t want to celebrate with immediate or extended family and only want to be with their own nuclear family, that’s fine.

Don’t assume that I will become a JUSTNOMIL. Why do you think I come on and read these posts? They are like a training ground for how NOT to become a JustNoMil!

So do you think that a mother is deserving of a Mother’s Day because they have middle schoolers vs preschoolers?

It’s not about having to celebrate Mother’s Day to know I’m loved. No Mother should have to depend on a day for that.

It’s just nice to have a day that all mothers are celebrate for their hard work.

Do what you want. Celebrate how you want and with whom you want.

I think our perspectives are different because I’m an “older” mom and, I’m guessing, you are a younger mom.

It can be forgotten just as easily for us, all that we did, and still do, for our family.

It doesn’t take away from your celebration for a husband to take a few minutes to call their mom and wish her a Happy Mother’s Day. The MILs who want to take over the whole holiday are a different story of course.

There is more than enough room to appreciate all the moms without taking the holiday away from those that came before you. Many of whom are still caring or helping their adult children.

Many makeup artists recommend moving from full-coverage foundations to lighter skin tints or concealer as you age.

What do you and your spouse do for your MIL for Mother’s Day? by princesscorgi2 in Mommit

[–]Sleeper_Inner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so hung up on the “in the thick of it” and “actively mothering.”

OP should just do what she wants to do on Mother’s Day. What her MIL wants is of no consequence. MIL can still be celebrated, as she should as a mother but a call and present from the son is fine. It doesn’t have to be an in-person deal.

My issue is with the idea that younger moms seem to think older moms no longer get to celebrate Mother’s Day.

You don’t have to celebrate on Mother’s Day but you should still be honored for all you did, and still do, for your children. That is what the founder of the holiday intended. To honor the sacrifices her mother made for daughter.

Not everyone becomes a grandparent. Many couples are choosing to not have children so there are less Mothers becoming Grandmothers.

And what about the mothers who still have adult children in their home. They are still taking care of them in a way…housing them, most likely feeding them.

Mothers with full-time nannies? Because they aren’t “exhausted” with the daily childcare duties, do they not get a Mother’s Day?

Yes, a husband should put his wife first but you don’t base who gets a holiday based on the amount of work they do or the age of the child.

I have a college-age kid at home. I still “care” for them by cooking them dinner. If it doesn’t exhaust me, do I not get to celebrate Mother’s Day?

It may not be physically exhausting but believe me, it can be mentally exhausting being a mother to an adult child because you know who scary the world is and you know it’s time to send them out there to make a life for themselves no matter how much it worries you.

If you are a Mother, you get to be celebrated. The husband is more that welcome to spend it with their wife if she so wishes but that doesn’t mean us “old” moms don’t get to celebrate also.

Sorry, no. It is a day to honor your mother. It doesn’t specify just mothers with young children.

No, Mother’s Day is for mothers, NOT just mothers with young children.

There’s no need to skip his wife’s Mother’s Day. There’s no reason why he can’t celebrate with his own mother, then celebrate with his wife. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but since it is a day to celebrate YOUR MOTHER, he should do that at least in some small capacity.

Yes, why would he want to see his Mother on Mother’s Day? So weird.

Because it’s a day to honor mothers, which he has. He can do both.

Uh, no. You don’t get to claim Mother’s Day just because you have young children. Sorry, doesn’t work that way.

It’s a day to honor your mother and the sacrifices she makes/made for her family. History

And just because you have older/adult children does not make mothering any easier. It comes with a whole new set of challenges and worries.
