			<description><![CDATA[I would say let it go. When we had kids it wasn't for gifts or recognition right? I say let it go. She's 14 and young. Don't make her feel like crap for it. What good would it do? none. It would only cause a rift htat's likely already there due to her age. I'll say it for her: Happy Mother's day! :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I also say let it go. She is 14, and has a lot on her mind.. she is a teenager, and as a teenager I am sure she can be pretty selfish, as a lot of them are. When she gets older she will get better at <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Remembering" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Remembering')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Remembering">remembering</a>, especially when she has kids of her own.

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with pick your battles... I know its hard because you just want alittle recognition but in the long run not being upset about it will show her you are stronger than she is. And this coming from someone who just kicked her 17 year old daughter out of the house. I dont expect to get a call fro...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Although this is her Dad's weekend (he and I have 50/50 joint custody) my almost 14 year old insisted on spending some time with me. She had friends who wanted her to go here and there but she wanted to spend time with Mom and for that I am grateful. She has to rely on us to get her to the store so ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm 95% sure my husband picked out the card & flowers that I got today, but my son has been super pleasant today, and that is gift enough for me!!!  I say, if she's nice today....that's better than a card ANY TIME!!! 
 (he also got out of bed at 8:30 this morning and made my <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Caffeine" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Caffeine')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Coffee">coffee</a>!!)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, I don't completely agree with everyone. It was bad enough she missed your birthday, (though she could forget the date) but we can expect that of that age group, but Mothers Day is advertised, would she not have noticed this? 
 I think, as someone mentioned, if they are nice to you for the day, ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I disagree with most of the posts! I think you should let her know how bad it made you feel and how would she like you to forget HER birthday! 14 is NO EXCUSE FOR BEING MEAN!!!! Last year my daughter goofed BIG TIME for Mothers day being mean and rude. I let her see how miserable it was and yes gave...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I had the sam problem, I have 5 kids and one sent me a text message (he's 23) and my other 2 boys 17 & 13 didn't say it at all. My 8 year old & 13 year old daughters remembered later in the day! I have learned you just take it with a grain of salt and let it go. There is SO much other stuff to stres...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, my 12 year old came downstairs with a card (that yes, my husband picked up for them), gave me the card and a hug and a 'Happy Mother's Day", my 14 yo walked right past me and upstairs into the shower. Whatever. My gift that he was reasonably pleasant throughout the day, we had a nice, uneventf...]]></description>
