I have an 15 yr old and 17 yr old. Neither one of them even told me happy mothers day. My sister in law let them go do some cleaning to be able to make some extra money to get me a gift for mothers day. Well needless to say they didnt. They spend their money on other stuff. It has really hurt my feelings that they did that…I could careless about a gift…Just a simlpe happy mothers day mom I love you would of been fine w/me. But I got nothing except for 2 very ungrateful daughters.
The next time they want you to buy them something, or take them somewhere, play the memory game with them, tell them you will take them and then mysteriously forget to. Just like they forgot to wish you a happy mother's day…which…HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!! Don't give them anything else special, until they learn some respect towards you.

Happy Mother's Day. I'm sorry to hear your daughters didn't tell you that, but then what comes into play is how they are being raised to respect you. That's something to think about.

Stop doing sh*it for em. I used to be ugly to my mom when i was younger…she would not wash my clothes cook for me etc… if there is something that you do for them that they usually expect you to do stop doing it. They will realize they've messed up somewhere and have to think about where they went wrong. oh yeah…. Happy Mothers Day!!!!

I am sorry to hear that!! I am also a mother, so that would be hard. But just remember your kids are teenagers and can be that way with out meaning to be. So let me tell you from one mother to the next "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"

sounds like they have their heads up their asses. but at that age girls tend to be very selfish and self absorbed, try to act normal, dont hold it against them, they will have a lot of guilt when they get older. cheer up. happy mothers day from one to another!

happy mother's day…. love them unconditionally… they are teenagers and therefore SELF-ABSORBED. But, i do understand what you say…my son called me but i did not get a gift — no that i should expect one….but, hey, maybe next year…….

I am sorry for your situation. Every mother should get the respect she deserves. The conduct of your daughters from your description seems inexcusable. If your husband is around I would ask him to talk to the girls about their feelings towards you. But I don't know your situation so I can't say. Happy Mothers Day from me.

Often times teenagers are self absorbed… it's sad but true. Just continue to be a solid foundation for them. As they mature, they will realize that you were always there for them, even in their selfish times. It's hard being a mom because so many things go unnoticed… the best thing to do is be a great example! If your mom is still alive you could make a big deal about mother's day for her and they will see your actions more than any words you could speak

I might not be your daughter but i wish you a Happy Mothers day. I know what it feels like, there was a time when I waited whole night until midnight for my loved one to wish me a Happy birthday but in vain

I am 25 and I was unable to call my mother today but unlike your daughters I didn't have the ability to…Sometimes things are just know and even though we like to hear them be said it's not always necessary even on days set aside specifically for that recognition this time in there lives you are their rock and their support the have yet to realize the enormity of their bond to you someday though and probably not on Mothers Day they will sit with you and from know where just say how much they appreciate you…and you'll know that even though they didn't say anything today that the always have and will love you

Tell them that you know about your sister-in-law and the money and how things are fixing to change around here. Start making them do chores, don't give them free reign and make them respect you until eventually, when they have their own children, they will.
Being a mom is tough, and it takes a tough mom to make good kids.

My heart aches for you. This is my first Mother's Day with my adult daughter away. I have managed the heartache by helping others, but tonight with no word from her, I've been crying. Many of my friends with adult children tell me they get busy with their lives. It hurts, but you are not alone. Pray to God for His leading of them and pray, as I do, for Peace from Him. It is all that will get you through the hurt. God bless and keep you.

its sad to hear what your daughters did,but come to think of it was it your fault they didn't wish you,or they are just two ungrateful daughters.well maybe your daughters don't think you as a good mother,i don't mean it in a bad way.maybe something you did in the past has hurt them deeply till they think you don't deserve a mother's day wish from them.if it makes you so sad why dont you have your kids sit down with you and talk to them.maybe then you'll know why and what cause them to act that way.Happy mother's day to you.

My two grown kids 28 and 21 just this year finally called me before 11:00pm on the day of mothers day - it was 11:00am.
Last year I'd told them how it didn't count being the end of the day. I explained that I wouldn't even be around if it weren't for them. It was not a guilt trip, but fact!
Kids are selfish. My 20 year old is STILL very selfish!
Some day a card maybe even a gift would be nice.
They live in different states so house cleaning is out!
Some day they'll come around. Maybe after the have children of there own, or realize one day how much you are there for them.
P.S. I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. The leaving the nest snydrome killed me! Almost literally!

did they actually know it was mother's day? (i know lame excuse) it's a shame your kids didn't say anything… just block them out… cut them off… haha… im 17 and im telling you, if my mom didnt give me money for things, i would definitely try to improve things… but happy mothers day! i hope they can become your little slaves around the house during the summer, or even the week.

It is not that they have to tell you in words or present you a gift. There should be no formalities among family members. May be, they also thought like that.Your children are the most beloved in your life and they should also be proud to have you as parents. The only two people whom one can trust the most in this world are their parents.Love your children as much as you can.

im so sorry that yo kids forgot mother's day.. i am 22 n to be truthful,i don remember duin big things for my mum around that age. they are just self centred but u as their mum can correct that. u still possess the power to instill values within them.
u cant give up on them, grow them in mind n in spirit even if it seems hopeless. u will forever be the most influencial female in their lives until u decide to give that up..
ur a queen n a star, even with 2 bratty daughters ur still one of the most amazing pple on earth-a mommy!!! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!! I am sorry to hear that your daughters are that selfish and cold hearted to do such a thing. I know how you must feel cause my brother hasn't even come around since Christmas of last year and has always used and abused them for years. I asked my parents if they have heard from my brother and they said they hadn't even gotten a phone call. However, I did call and visit my Mother on Mother's Day, plus she got to see her grandson which made her day. All I can say is that they should have at least recognized you as their mother and given you something or even said so. They were in the wrong for that and for the record if I had been your daughter I would not have done that. I am so sorry!!! One thing you can do is when their birthday comes along, act like you were too busy and that you forgot cause then they will know how it feels to be left out and forgotten on a special day. Tell them why you did it and how it made you feel as well.
