JustEm Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 First off, Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. Second, what would you think if you saw your neighbor who is a mother mowing the lawn this morning knowing full well there are healthy able bodied non-mothers in the house. This is not an issue, no hard feelings in this house. Just an interesting conversation dh and I had this morning after a random comment was made. I'll give more details once I see what other people might think of the scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I'd first want to know if she really enjoyed mowing the yard. If the answer was "no," I'd be annoyed on her behalf. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If I saw this, I would think the others do not appreciate their mother. It could be that she enjoys doing, but I kinda doubt it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Perhaps Mother's Day isn't a "thing" in their house. I definitely try to minimize it here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Maybe she likes to mow? Many people do. Maybe she's not into MD? I'm not, so it really doesn't seem odd at all to me. I noticed my neighbor was washing her SUV this morning. It never occurred to me to wonder why she was doing it and not her husband or DD. To me today is just another day, except there's the irritation of everyone talking about MD. Edited May 10, 2020 by Pawz4me 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 We don’t celebrate Mother’s Day at my house and now I’m wondering if I’ve ever done something on Mother’s Day that somehow made the rest of my family look like slackers. 😂 6 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I wouldn’t have thought anything of it. Mother’s Day is a total non event in my home. I’d have not even realised it, honestly.

Joker Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I wouldn’t think anything of it. I also feel fairly confident dh has mowed on Father’s Day before and I doubt anyone thought anything of that either. We keep things pretty low key here though. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnwife Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Disclaimer: We are not big Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day people. It's mid-morning here, and DH/the kids have yet to say do anything. And I am guessing they won't do anything. Therefore, I probably wouldn't notice. If I did, I'd probably think she likes to mow. Such people do exist. (I am one who loves to vacuum. I could happily vacuum for...a long time if people were leaving me alone!) I am honestly surprised that it seems some people would be bothered by this scenario! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Esp. if it was a riding lawnmower, I might think she was enjoying some ALONE time. I never minded mowing the lawn (provided I had the time) on the riding lawnmower. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 we don't do much for mother's day. a nice dinner with family - but that's more of an excuse. (dh loves to cook). I wouldn't have thought much of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That does not seem strange to me at all. Dh and the kids always do something lovely for me on Mother's Day, but I don't take the day off from work that needs to be done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) So here's the story. We don't put an emphasis on Mother's Day. It gets acknowledged as in everyone says 'Happy Mother's Day' to me. Some kids make cards but don't feel like they need to. Dh already always makes breakfast so that is a non issue. The most he'll do is ask me what I want to do that day and if I want to we do it. But really I generally just want it to be like every other day. Well this year I was fully planning on mowing the lawn this weekend. I love mowing the lawn and am the one to do it 70% of the time. I was originally going to do it yesterday buy it was too cold for my liking so I decided to wait until this morning. When I told dh I was going to mow the lawn after I finished my coffee he said, 'I can't let you do that. What will all the neighbors think seeing you mowing the lawn on Mother's Day. They'll think I'm the worst." We laughed and I jokingly pouted because I really wanted too. Then he jokingly said, "No, you are not allowed to do exactly what you want to do on Mother's Day!" It just never occurred to me until his comment that anyone would think anything about seeing someone mow. But thinking about it, it makes sense. I'm pretty sure our neighbor across the street feels sorry for me every time she sees me mow. Edited May 10, 2020 by hjffkj 4 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Maybe she likes doing it? I caught my next door neighbor mowing MY lawn when she was about 6 months pregnant.

I laughed and told her she was welcome any time... she was a good friend, as well. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed and said he was folding the laundry and cleaning the house, chores I hate, in order to free me up to do the lawn, which I love. 23 minutes ago, hjffkj said: This is basically it.

I'm in both lawn and gardening groups on facebook...the lawn people also garden. The garden group people do NOT also like lawn stuff, and are very very vocal about how dumb lawns are, how stupid people are to be brainswashed into wanting them, what a waste of time they are, etc. Same people who will spend all weekend digging landscape beds, watering bushes and flowers, but someone spending an hour mowing the lawn is "wasting time" to them. I've pointed out the hypocrisy a few times. After all, grass is a plant too! If one can enjoy caring for trees and bushes and flowers, perhaps they could understand that a person might also enjoy caring for grass! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Happy Mother's Day to the people who aren't annoyed by the mention of it. I admit to judging the teenage son's of the divorced mom who lives nearby for not walking their dog or mowing their lawn. The mom did it until just recently when a lawn service started taking care of it. My thought starts with, "Lazy boys" and goes downhill from there. But I am the judgey sort. However, I'm currently making breakfast for my home off-spring (sorry, dd#1!). One offered to make me breakfast but I said I'd make them all something. Love language & all...

See, and not only do I love lawn work, but I prefer to walk the dog and not have anyone go with me. Me time But I can be judgey too. My neighbor had a heart attack and I ended up mowing his lawn for him, because none of his three children, ages 16-20ish, managed to find time to do it. However, that is partly due to bad blood and such, so not even sure who i'm judging in that situation, lol. 🙂 Edited May 10, 2020 by Ktgrok 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Yep, @Ktgrok. I assume She doesn't love mowing since they hired a lawn service now. The boys are off school and don't have sports as an excuse. They tie the dog up outside most of the time, so believe me, I judge.

linders Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Well, I shopped for my own breakfast this morning. II'm usually up hours before the rest of the gang and like to eat about 8-ish. Much to my surprise, DH was up at 7:30 announcing he would make me breakfast. Then I found out his menu plan; homemade sausage gravy (gross!) to serve over hash browns, with fried eggs and bacon (I never eat fried eggs). I gave him a funny look, at which point he said, "Why, what would you like?" Nice buttery croissants and fresh fruit, to include strawberries and kiwi (no one else in our house likes kiwi). "But we don't have any of that!" Yes, which is why I'm already dressed and hopping to the store when it opens at 8. Which I did. I wasn't at all upset by it - that was my plan. It was funny at the store, though, all the men and teens at 8 am buying flowers, cards, and candy. Maybe they thought it was sad that I was buying my own breakfast? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 It depends. I have friends that really enjoy mowing the lawn. If I happened to know that my friend hated mowing and I saw that, and I was physically capable, a gift from you to her might be to do it for her (even if her family does not). Perhaps them seeing you do it would prompt a change of heart for them. OP, if you really want to yell at someone, can you please tell my dh it was uber rude to say that he doesn't need to say anything for Mother's Day because I am not his mom? Seriously, sometimes the sarcasm is just hurtful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet2ndchance Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 When we had a yard to mow, I bought myself a brand new lawn mower as a gift to myself. We had the money at the time, it was on sale, the old mower was making life difficult when I cut the grass so I treated myself to a new lawn mower. It wasn't that I liked mowing the lawn particularly but it was important to me that it was cut and neat at the time. So I was usually the one doing it. We also don't celebrate mother's day (or father's day or many other holidays) in our house and if the grass needed mowing on the second Sunday in May then it would get cut on the second Sunday in May. I would be surprised, confused and frankly, a little defensive, if someone told me I shouldn't be doing what needs doing just because it is a holiday. As a side note, my first husband never did anything for me for Mother's day for the 13 years we were married because "you are not my mother". I begged to differ as he was in many ways a bigger child than his own children but that's a whole 'nother post. Yes it does have a very small part to do with the reason we, my current husband and I, don't celebrate mother's day or father's day at all anymore. It is just another day for us with same chores and responsibilities that come with any other day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember telling him that he needed to at least be a role-model for our kids, who were too young to celebrate the day. And for a few years, if we wanted to do anything on Mother's Day, I planned it myself. But, my dh is a really lovely man and a terrific dad and he has always shown me that he over-the-top loves me. He also happens to be an idealist who doesn't take part in Hallmark holidays. That's just the family he grew up in. We eventually learned to meet half-way on this, and actually nowadays, I couldn't give a rip about Mother's Day and would just as soon skip it, and he always wants to celebrate it!

I figured surely a woman of 40 yrs with some reasonable intelligence could figure it out. So I went out expecting to HATE it. Our yard was half dirt, the rest weeds, it was hot, the lawn mower was crappy. But...I put on headphones. And for an hour NO ONE BOTHERED ME!!! I was like oh.....this is why my dad likes lawn work!

ikslo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 No, I would not think it was weird to see a woman cut her grass on Mother’s Day. Definitely not now during a pandemic. Most people that I know don’t have plans to go out anywhere today anyway. My son is allergic to grass. I’d hate for someone to judge him from afar because he doesn’t help us out with cutting the grass. I’d gladly help DH with the mowing, except he bought one of those reel push mowers - I warned him advance I wouldn’t use it.

marbel Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) I admit I have not read all the responses. My mother loved mowing the lawn and much preferred it to doing the dishes and such. So she mowed the lawn. I would not assume anything. I would certainly not be annoyed on her behalf. (Related: once I got a nice skillet for mother's day. My MIL was offended on my behalf. Wrong! I was thrilled. It is a nicer pan than I will ever be able to buy again and I LOVE it.) ETA: I also am making dessert for tonight's dinner. And will actually end up doing most of the cooking, though I do get to offload the parts I don't like. 🙂 Edited May 10, 2020 by marbel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
