chimay Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This is a family forum so I won't tell you (I have my reasons though). well put I'm on your side:gag: Me too. I hope that I learnt from the mistakes she made and brought my children up with more love and respect than she showed me. I shall never forget the day my adopted children called me 'mum' for the first time. I'm still called 'mum' unless they are exasperated by me and then it's 'MOTHER'.

hillsbro Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 ..I'm still called 'mum' unless they are exasperated by me and then it's 'MOTHER'. I read this with a smile as that's exactly how I spoke to my mom at times of exasperation!..But my sister, brother and I were lucky in having the best mother in the world, bless her. .Here she is aged 86 with the last Christmas dinner I cooked for her.

Texas Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 At first it was Mam, and then my Dad heard me. He gave me one of his hard looks and said 'It's not Mam, it's Mom,' and so it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Oh! hillsbro what a lovely photo of your mom , she looks nice a real nice lady.Glad you like the photo, poppins! Yes, she was a wonderful person. We always tried in vain to get her to smile broadly for photos - she was too conscious of her (lack of) teeth!.
