OK, I'm going to tell you something because not only are you a kid, but you're a guy. This is going to help you through your life.
MOST WOMEN VIEW MOTHER'S DAY AS A DAY TO BE APPRECIATED FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO.
I'm not kidding, I am a member of this forum for moms and a thread was made where some woman was bitching because it was her first mother's day and her husband didn't do anything for her, and when she complained he said "You're not MY mom, and the baby can't get you anything yet." The thread got like- 500 replies, all from bitter women who didn't feel like their asses were adequately kissed, either by their significant others or by their kids, on THEIR day.
Personally, I don't expect a lot for Mother's day. I like my son's homemade cards and gifts, and I don't expect anything from Evol besides a big time make out session. I ACCEPT gifts, but I don't expect them. I do, however, expect respect- EVERY day. It sounds like that's all your mom wanted for Mother's day and you didn't give that to her. So yeah, she's pissed. Wait until she's alone and apologize. Cry. Prostrate yourself in front of her and tell her how much you love her and appreciate everything she's done for you. You'll never fully understand everything a mother does for her kids until you have your own and see your wife go through it.
(But no, she doesn't dislike you. You're still her baby).

Re read this.
Both my wife & I agree, in time you'll better understand.
Just try to kindly let her know how you feel. Good luck

I agree, you have to respect all women. My girls and I do all we can for my wife bcuz I know she works hard to do stuff for us. We even did all we could to make it feel like "her" day, even though it coincided with my birthday that day. Mrs Evol is right in everything she said

You really screwed the pooch there bro. Just get your lazy ass to CVS or Walgreens and get a card. They probably took all the Mothers Day cards down but get one anyway and just say you're sorry. My two brothers and I made a similar mistake when I was around 14. We all completely forgot about Mothers Day and our mom got so pissed at us that she drove us to store and said "now you get in there and get a damn card!" We never forgot about Mothers Day again. Just suck it and say you're sorry. Trust me that's the best option.

Good thing "Love Expert" Super Hyper X is in the house.
Buy your mom flowers. I don't care if they cost sixty bucks, just buy em and give them to her. Flowers are both an apologetic and gift-giving symbol. You're buying a gift, and at the same time your apologizing. Poems are a good idea too, recite it after you give her flowers.

I hate getting flowers. It's a bunch of dying things that used to be beautiful and full of life. It's like a box of baby corpses.
In that case, Super Hyper Love Expert says the quickest way to a mom's heart is through her arteries. BAKE HER CUPCAKES!

Lol, wow.
The true key to women: they aren't all the same.
I would suggest that you take Irish's advice and get her a card. Then what you need to do is something nice for your mother. If she likes flowers, get her flowers, if she likes candy, get candy. If she hates having to do something around the house like say vacuuming, do that! The more thoughtful you are in your gift giving the more it will mean than just going out and buying a gift because you screwed up. Hyper's poem idea isn't bad either - if she likes that.
Also in the card I would suggest writing out an apology, a sincere apology and try to at least be a little nicer to your mom on mother's day.
Edit: Oh and about the stating your opinion thing. There is nothing wrong with expressing one's opinion. However in my experience your opinion can still be hurtful to others. You may feel that way about Mother's day, but obviously your mom does not. To her it means something and you belittling it was also belittling her and what she has done for you.
So by you saying you don't care she might be acting towards you like she doesn't care to try to get you to feel as she did. Its childish but it seems to be working cause you are feeling guilty...lol

late reply and i skipped all the replies, but in short: you screwed up man. you really shouldn't have said that to her on Mother's Day. to you, it may be just any other day, but to the people that it's meant for (mothers), it means a lot, especially when they are shown gratitude and appreciated. Mother's Day is there for a reason, it's the same as a birthday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. just not to that extent, but it still has meaning behind it.
eh, i don't wanna put you down so i'll just leave it at that. good luck with getting everything straightened out! just learn from your mistake and don't say things like that, especially to your mother.... :/
