I think breakfast is a lovely gesture although I think breakfast in bed for no special occasion is better. Does that make sense?
To be honest, I didn't even know it was Mother's Day this weekend until I was told on Thursday. It's not a huge deal for me these days as my own Mother is now gone and I no longer have to make a big hoo-ha of it. It's quite a relief.
Yes it makes sense. This is how I see gift giving too - a gift when expected has less value than one out of the blue. I am more out of the blue on everything - but the expectation is persistent.
I actually think father's day is more important in the family - because I don't get anything the rest of the year :D
