Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML

just goes to show money doesn't buy happiness

At least your Mom cares for the sentimental things. Mine bitched at me for not getting her anything. I'm 1,000 miles away and unemployeed. Called her several times throughout the day to at least wish her a Happy Mother's Day. She never picked up. She only called back to bitch at me.

I would find that cute..I mean, when was the last time she got something like that? She must miss it. Money isn't everything.

Well now you know what to do for next year's Mother's day :) Aka... don't spend too much money on her since she doesn't care too much about you.

Holy shit, no joke, I think I know this person. All the pieces fit and that's her name. That cheap, retarded asshole little brother of hers is my ex-boyfriend and that is TOTALLY the kind of crap he pulls and his doting, infantilizing mother eats that shit up which is why he's like that in the first place. And he's not even the youngest kid. He does a shitty, last minute half-assed 'card' with his little sister's (who's like 8) crayons for his mom for EVERY holiday, and nothing else, and she acts like he's the Messiah. That's the absolute most he can be prevailed upon to do for the woman who went through hell to raise him. He uses his money (that he has enough of because he lives off his parents and pays no bills) to buy weed, faggy clothes, bad music and stupid shit for his '97 Chrysler Cirrus or whatever the **** it is. **** that. Of course his older sister (who I'm 99.9% sure submitted this) is a total bitch anyway but at least she really gives a damn. He is so ******* selfish. Ugh.

lol it's a man and I doubt his name is really 'Jess-zee'. Either way, calm down.

you shoulda pulled an snl and had your best friend have sex with her. she could appreciate that

And to the other posters: she didn't say she bought a gift card. She said she spent the money on gifts. Just because you spend money doesn't mean no thought was put into it. If this is who I think it is, she spent a LOT of time perfecting her plans for the day. And the card wasn't some beautifully illustrated poem about a mother's love, I guarantee you it was he and she as stick figures smiling with flowers and rainbows that read "Happy Mother's Day. I love you, Jimmy". He's seriously differently-abled. So glad his ass is gone.

Errr, my friend told me this story yesterday.

It's a proven fact that homemade gifts mean more than store bought gifts. It proves that whoever made the gift put more time and effort into the gift than someone that went out and bought one. I will admit, it takes a while to find a gift (especially for a parent) but I agree with your brothers methods.

Deep down, Mother's Day and Father's Day are really Hallmark holidays so we don't spend much money on them. My wife and I just help the kids make stuff for each other. So we're 33 and we make and give arts-and-crafts gifts. Birthdays and Christmas are a different ballgame altogether, though.

ummm are you sure she wasnt crying because she thinks your worthless brother doesnt care about her. I am sorry but unless his card was a work of art he sounds like he sucks
