Your ideal mother's day gift

Jamison'smama replied: Either alone time--time to shop alone, pedicure etc. Or someone to spring clean the house---floor scrubbing, windows etc.
Our Lil' Family replied: I didn't vote because I'd love a combination of alone time and then someone (DH) to cook for me and enjoy family time that evening.....is that too much to ask? LOL
amynicole21 replied:
Not at all!  There is a "combination" option though - should cover you~ 
MamaJAM replied: Anything that gives us quality family time.
A break from my day-to-day routine is nice too...but mostly I just want to be with my family.
coasterqueen replied: You know I'm not really sure. Dh asked me this at lunch. I spouted off a dozen things I'd like for MD just to give him ideas and he asked me which one I'd like the most and of course my answer was all of them . We don't really have the money so it really makes no difference to me. 
luvmykids replied: I voted for the combo, I spend a lot of quality time with the kids but would love for DH to be in on it, and of course I'd love a break, to be off duty from the day to day stuff. But flowers are good too, I'm easy!
MyLuvBugs replied: A new car would be nice, but it's not going to happen. To be honest, I don't need any more "stuff", and can't get along time no matter what I do or say, so a simple dinner out will suffice. 
AlexsPajamaMama replied: I voted Me Time
CantWait replied: Crap, I meant to put family time, but I put alone time. I wouldn't be celebrating Mother's Day if it wasn't for my kids so I would want to spend the day doing something fun with them.
Momof3inMe replied: I would love the combo!!!!
Kaitlin'smom replied: good question, when I have an answer I will get back to you 
Halo42101 replied: To be pregnant again.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I voted for the card. If Chris were to get anything for me, that would make me the happiest, and he knows that. And when the kids are older, if they choose to make me kid art, I would be most appreciative of that as well. Tangible things will retain the best memories for me, since my memory is so bad anyhow.
Kaitlin'smom replied: combo, as for an actually gift really anything Kait makes is good for me. I dont need anything really. I would also love time with my family, time alone and a massage but I dont think either will happen. I am taking my mom out to brunch with sister and the early afternoon dinner with his family.
ashtonsmama replied: I would love for a MAID (seriously) to come, maybe just HIRE a maid, for like the whole first year that the new baby is here...
NOT HAPPENING. But I'd just love some time to take care of myself, like go to the gym, or go out more with Ryan, etc.
He's always on target with his gifts, so I'm not worried. I know we're doing dinner, MIL is taking Ashton for two days if he cooperates...
BAC'sMom replied:
combo would be fine. 
kit_kats_mom replied: We already have tons of quality family time. I want ME TIME and a break from the day to day chores. me me me me me. No kids, No Dh, No Chores, no noise. I need a break from the routine. I'm so tired of being the only one to dress the girls, fix their hair, clean up after them, feed the house etc.
punkeemunkee'smom replied: Well I know what gifts I am getting Dh said to order them. But I am really more of a family time person. We don't get alot of time to go do stuff together so family time is GREAT with me! 
I say that I need a break sometimes-but the thought of spending the day alone actually makes me sad!
Our Lil' Family replied:
oops, missed that, thanks!
Jamison'smama replied:
A friend of mine got 24 hours in a hotel ALONE. Room service PPV movies and reading galore! Sounds heavenly!
b&bsmom replied: My only request is something hand made by the kids. My dh usually does a nice art project with them one year he made me a flower pot with the kids pics as the flowers I was very impressed. Not sure what this year will bring. I just want something to know I am appreciated.
kit_kats_mom replied:
that is exactly whay I'm thinking. I have to wait until Lauren weans though.  honestly, I love my monkeys but sometimes the day to day gets old. I honestly think that me missing them a bit would probably make me a better mom
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I was going to vote combo of all of the above, but I chose quality alone time instead, because that's what I REALLY want!!! Doesn't have to be an oject of great value or anything, but just going to the gym or possibly getting out on my own for awhile would be awesome! I'm really hoping for a little time at the spa, but we will see.
luvmykids replied:
 You just quoted word for word a conversation I had with my neighbor today!! It's an epidemic
My3LilMonkeys replied: For DH to remember what day it is
Hillbilly Housewife replied: Definitely time alone.
it's a win win situation, i say. MIL complained last year that she didn't get to see her youuuuungeeeeeest sooooon...  so i say - take the kids to go see your mooooom and leave me alone for a whole day! but Nemo's still breastfed, and despises the bottle... so... whatever, man.
holley79 replied: I would love a combo of all the above. Mainly I would love a week off of work with pay and a family vacation.
