Happy Birthday Mom Maxwell!

So, Steve got an overnight safari adventure, but so far Teri just gets a photo posted online.

What would be your birthday present to Mom Maxwell?

 

Mine would be an assessment with a mental health specialist and then as much prescription meds as needed plus unlimited sessions with a secular therapist.

Admission to a psych hospital (separate wards) for both of them. Treatment for her. Institutionalisation for him.

And it's their 37th anniversary. I think Nate is 34-35. That would mean they were married for a few years before kids......

as soon as i saw that lame-ass post, i thought about the comparison between ma's birthday and pa's.

AND she has to share her birthday with their anniversary. helluva birthday, that.

I expect Steve influenced the weeding date so he could buy her new kitchen and cleaning equipment for joint birthday and anniversary presents, instead of forking out for two 'gifts' a year.

I wonder if there is any month long planned surprise for her birthday or does only the self-proclaimed god get such things? Between his birthday and their trip that isn't a vacation, they have more fun in a month than a normal year, so they may have to make sure Teri's birthday is a full day of prayer time. Maybe they'll eat burritos today, Wednesday, instead of waiting for Sunday?

Of course Teri isn't getting anything special, she is ONLY a woman after all. If she is lucky maybe Steve will let her pick the groceries for the week. If he is feeling generous,he might have the "children" make dinner so she only has to clean up after everyone.

I'd get her therapy sessions, a visit to What Not to Wear and a truck load of Pepsi.

Pepsi - all you can drink for a year Pepsi

Just looked at the picture. How precious! Steve, ever so lovingly leans in front of her, stretching his arm across her, symbolizing, his position as leader and protector, hers as background submission. She wears a corsage to emphasize that her birth had one purpose - to serve Steve - and he has claimed it through marriage.

Rainbow I had to stop for a min because that was just so beautiful, such a expression of love, sigh

I'm going to give them a small pass on this birthday post IF it's not a milestone birthday for Terri. I can see making a big deal out of Steve's 60th birthday and not Terri's if Terri is only turning 58 or 59 or so. But when she turns 60 there better be a surprise trip planned as well!

I am just dissapointed I can't go undercover. They canceled the conference in my town!

I'd bedazzle her chore pack holder.

Well you all covered the mental health care, so I would give her something fun. I'd give her a ticket FOR ONE for a week-long cruise or vacation package. Even though tropical beaches are fantastic, I guess I would avoid those she doesn't have to deal with modesty issues. Maybe I could find a nice relaxing resort in the woods somewhere.

I'd just give her a way to have fun. ANY kind of fun. For Steve's birthday they had what for them is the most fun they get all year, so Terri deserves something too. I'd give her fun away from Steve though, he wouldn't let her have fun if he was there. Also I'd give her Pepsi. And I'd buy her a pizza so she wouldn't have to wait for God to remind Steve to order it.

[doggie]

She can't even remind him of what she wanted even if he would buy her anything. she would have to pray god told him. we ahve all seen how well that works.

[dormouse]

I'd give her some of my Celexa and a few of the extra boxes of hair dye I recently bought on sale.

She wears a corsage so we are able to see what her front side is.

She looks miserable.

Perfect suggestion for getaway for Terri.

A makeover.

I expect Steve influenced the weeding date so he could buy her new kitchen and cleaning equipment for joint birthday and anniversary presents, instead of forking out for two 'gifts' a year.

I would gift Teri a spa weekend, in Ojai, CA, with her 3 daughters and 2 daughters-inlaw. A weekend away for the girls.

I don't compliment Steve much, but in response to this I do have to say that Steve is pretty generous in the gifting department. While he may be a bit (OK a lot) too "buy what is needed" for my taste, at least what he does buy is always top of the line. For example, Teri needs a new mixer Steve buys her the BIG Kitchen Aid. Teri needs a new vacuum, Steve buys her the BEST Dyson or Miele.

I am not one to approve of appliances as gifts, nor do I approve of getting something needed as a gift, but if it's going to happen at least let it be the top of the line Thank goodness I don't have this appliance gifting problem with my husband.

I was going to suggest a spa weekend, too. She needs to get away and be pampered a bit. I don't think she's ever been pampered.

And I love the idea of nominating her for What Not to Wear. Stacy and Clinton could help her learn how to look updated and fresh, while respecting her modesty issues. They are really good about that.

[Lillybee]

Get her a spa day, evil massages and all. A nice mani and pedi and most of all a day away from Steve.
