I think you took it very well tha...Hello Kumi-san,<br /><br />I think you took it very well that your children did not give/make you a mother's day present. I think my mother would most likely never let me hear the end of it if I didn't get her a present.<br /><br />The mochi rice cakes looked very nice. At some point I really must get around to making some just to see if a can. I wonder if Mister Donut has special offers on mother's day. On mother's day here there is not a set thing to give to our mothers apart from a card. But generally you can get them anything. So it tends to be cards, flowers, chocolates (or whatever they ask for).<br /><br />Here is a list of some of the issues found in the rest of the post:<br /><br />This line:<br />After I finished working, I bought sushi for them and gave them for dinner, so that my mother didn't have to prepare for dinner.<br /><br />Should be:<br />After I finished working, I bought sushi for them and gave (it to/it) them for dinner, so that my mother didn't have to prepare it for dinner.<br /><br />This line:<br />Since it was mother's day yesterday, the seal written as " Thank you Mom" was stuck on the package of sushi.<br /><br />Should be:<br />Since it was mother's day yesterday, the seal had written on it "Thank you Mom" the package of sushi.<br /><br />This line:<br />"What??

They might change their policy or forget about it. Anyway, It doesn't matter. To take care of them is my duty, so they don't have to say thank you for me now. If they thank me from the bottom of their heart after they grow up, I will be happy."<br /><br />Should be:<br />"Maybe it is because the principal of the nursery school and children's house changed in April.
