mightynancy Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Wow - there are men who would begrudge buying chocolates for their wives and feel ripped off if someone else got away without paying? There are women who *expect* something from the bishopric for Mother's day? Last I checked, those guys up there in suits are not my sons. I think any gesture at church is sweet. I also think that any recognition at church should be extended to all men or all women, regardless of reproductive status. Our single Primary President surely did a lot of mothering! Our YW either bake cookies for Fathers' Day, or they get candy bars and deliver them to Priesthood and the men in Primary. On Mother's Day, the sisters usually receive a flower to plant in the garden. The YM and a few elders carry the flats of flowers around to RS, Primary, and YW. Quote
The_Phoenix Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 It's that time of year again where the bishop might think to ask me if I have a plan for Mother's Day. The past couple of years, we've purchased Lindt chocolate bars and tied a bow around them to give to all the sisters in the ward. Total cost to the ward has been about $150.Can I attend? I will even put on a wig. Quote
Jennarator Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 My husband told me the best Father's day one in a ward he was in, was packets of m&ms with a ribbon in the middle to look like a bow-tie. The men wore them the rest of the day. He thoought it was fun. Quote

Reminds me of going to EFY, and all the guys getting "Big Hunk" candy bars and at the girls getting giant "SweeTarts," both on necklaces to wear. Quote
