Mother's Day Gift Reactions

[Patches]

Two of my three moms took pictures of their gifts, posted them to facebook, tagged me in them and commented about how awesome the presents AND I am.

Made my day

I had positive reactions from the mothers as we passed them out, but I only 2 actual "thank yous" towards me. One mom texted how much he loved her plant - she is our newest daycare mom (sometimes I feel like excitement a out it's like that is the higehest at first).

I had one DCD who forgot his gift. We called him within 5 minutes, and he said he wasn't returning to pick it up. It would be fine until next week.

I put them in the dcks bags. no one said anything but I did get a happy mothers day text from one family. At 820am. I was sleeping ::

The 1 year olds here did handprints on each side of a Mother's Day poem and baked brownies for their moms. Guess what I found this morning in one of the kids bag???? You guessed it, their Mother's Day gift:confused:

With the 2 &3 year olds here they made candle holders and did the same handprint and Mother's Day poem, but no one has said a word about it.

I'm not a bit surprised, they never act as if they are concerned about what their kid does during the day. I have to make them talk at drop off and pick up to discuss our day!

We did Muffins for Moms on Friday morning and all the moms came for muffins and Juice. Then the kids gave their moms their gifts (painted mugs (1.50 craft kit at Micheal's). They were so excited to give them out. The moms seemed appreciative.

I sent home the gifts wrapped.... got one text Friday from mom thanking me, and another on Sunday. Other 3 I haven't heard from yet, but expect 2 will thank me when they see them. The other one came in today but didn't say a word and I didn't expect her to.

We are suppose to get reactions? I didn't know that. It's never happened here. Unless you count the kids who are bouncing off the wall, giddy with excitement, who can't wait for pick up to give Mom her gift. The adults have never had any reaction.

All of my moms said "thank you"! All but one were texts, but the dad's picked up so the moms didn't get to see them right away.

2 thank yous out of 9. Unlike the others I want a thank you, I think no thank you is rude! I went above and beyond a regular craft project for Mothers Day gifts, in time and expense.

Mostly Moms picked up. The children wanted to gift them at pick-up, which was perfectly fine.

The Moms gushed about how beautiful the plates they drew on (and had their handprint traced on) were to the children. They told them their cards were lovely as well. The cards were very cute since they wrote "Happy Mother's Day" on them in whatever way they wanted (if they choose to). So, many said "Mother's Day Happy" or "Happy Day Mother's" ::. I loved it. Lots of them said "MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM" all over them. They gave their children hugs and the children were grinning ear to ear.

I had one Mom wish ME a Happy Mother's Day, which was very nice. That was as far as any sort of thank you went or any sort of recognition for me. I told each and every one of them to have a wonderful Mother's Day and they all told me that they did this morning at drop off. The same one that wished me a Happy Mother's Day inquired about how mine went, which again is very nice!

This shocks me!

I only have four families, all of them said thank you. I have never had parents so unthoughtful. Some of the things I read on this board amazes me.

I sent the gifts home wrapped on Friday. Neither of the moms said anything about them or even acknowledged them today. I am hoping it just slipped their minds. Still, a simple thank you would be nice!

I would say 1/2 of my moms said something today about it. The other 1/2 said nothing. It does irritate me because I also go above and beyond normal crafts and do trips to the store to get everything, wrap it etc. Funny thing is, the mom that irritates me the most normally was the first one to text me to say how much she loved it. Thought that was great!

My projects didn't get dry until this morning so they went home today. One mom opened it before leaving and raved about it, the other took hers home and I probably won't hear anything about it. The last 2 moms are my daughter and daughter-in-law who both loved it, but don't really "count". ::
