Is it polite to ask your mom what she wants for mothers day?
June 5th, 2009Since it is tomorrow, I was just wondering if I went up to my mom and asked what she would want for Mothers Day is that alright to do?
I really have no idea what she would want.
Sure, I wouldn't mind if my kids asked me. I would probably say something like "nothing really, you kids just come over and visit me and I will be happy!"
But I would really like some flowers to hang on my porch or plant in my garden.

I ask my mom all the time.
Not only do I get her what she wants, I get her something she would never have expected to get that she loves as well. :3

Well not right now since it is the day before.
say "Mom, What did you want for mother's day, I wanna make sure I got you things you liked." Just so she knows you care.

No Way! Don't do that! Get her something thoughtful! Try getting her a picture frame with a picture of you two or even a card will just do telling her how much you love her and what she means to you! Just don't ask her though….Good Luck!

i wouldn't say it exactly like that…….
because then she'd wonder why you waited until the last minute to get her a gift, and not put any thought into it.
i would instead, say… "what do you think you're getting for mothers day?", or "What would be teh best present you could ever get, for mothers day", that way it sounds like you may have already gotten her something, (even though you didn't.)…know what i mean?…..
and no i do not think it is un-polite to ask what she'd like….after all, it's better to ask and make sure, then guess and be un sure is it not?…..

yea- you should totally ask her. it's not rude at all. my mom always tells me and my brother what she wants and if she doesn't we usually ask her. It's not rude.

Absolutely. I just informed my husband he's taking our daughter and I out to lunch and an early movie for mothersday.

it would have been ok a week ago but not today you should have asked earlier however you could take her out for lunch or something as a gift and tell her your buying and ask where she wants to go. but as far as a gift dont ask besides if shes a mom she will probably give an answer like oh i dont need anything just spending time with my son is a good enough gift for me blah blah blah.

it is polite but then it takes the spark out of the pleasure. no element os surprise. Mothers usually do not want anything except a hug and realization what they have done for us….bye her a nice scarf or a chain

I don't think it's rude. When I was a kid she always said she would like some peace and quiet. As an adult, she usually says something like I'd like some of your banana bread. I did more than that because she is my mother, hello? This year she didn't say she wanted anything because she knows times are tough. She's your mom, so go out and get something sweet like flowers and a card and take them to her. That is one thing that moms always like.

I'm a mom and my kid asks me every year what I want for mother's day, birthday, xmas, and so on…and she gets the same answer that 99.9% of moms give — "You don't have to get me anything"
But you could always get her flowers, a nice body pampering set, take her out to dinner, a gift certificate for a facial or a massage. Or if you happen to be a kid, you could make her a coupon book with things like doing dishes, laundry, making her lunch, helping in the garden, etc… that she can cash in with you.
