What we really want

Don't go shopping for Mother's Day. We don't want you to spend your hard earned money on stuff we'll have to take care of or clean up after.

What we really want is for you to show us you appreciate us every day, by how you live. How you treat us. How you treat others.

Just show some responsibility. Keep your own space orderly, keep your own appearance, keep your grades/job. Show up when you are expected, leave while you're still welcome.

It's not that much to ask is it?

Sadly, it's easier for most folks to buy flowers and call it good.
