“Paige told me she killed JR, that he was dead,” Wright said through sobs.
Wright said she sped back over to her son's house, but it was too late.
Barkin, 22, died just after midnight Monday in the backyard of his yellow rental house, stabbed several times. Wright said she believes Parkerson expected a more expensive gift, such as jewelry.

Over a freaking gift! What a selfish twit. Now his mother's Mother's Day will be a nightmare for the rest of her life.

[Darsa]

Really?!?! Wow... that's truly pathetic. I never get anything for Mother's Day from my husband because, as he says, "you're not my mother". While it makes me upset/angry every time he says it, I certainly won't KILL him for it! O.O

You don't have to. Give me your address and I'll do the favor for you. It's not called "Your Mothers Day".

She got a card and some flowers from Wally World. Not enough?

Hmmm.

Another holiday laden with expectation and pitfalls. Really, really sad.

I got three cards, some phone calls, and a lovely brunch at church. I've said before I don't need a lot, and this time, I got not a lot, and it was just fine. All I really want is a little recognition (got it) and the love of my family (got that too).

[CbabyRKO]

Bitch should be glad her ugly ass got anything for Mother's day. I know women out there me included who would have been more than thankful for what he did for her. What happened to being thankful for what you get instead of being a ungrateful wench.

[cubby]

So this is who stabbed JR! Stupid Bitch!

[TKaz]

My family pretty much ignored me as we were either sick or jet-lagged. I did laundry, dishes, meals...no special day really & I didn't even kill them.
If I had, I would've had to clean that up too.

No use making more work for myself.

I got NOTHING for Mother's Day this year. Normally, my husband takes care of the gift "from" the kids, but we've been having some money problems with my husband's job being commission only, and sales not going the way the dealership promised. We've had to borrow money from our parents. I'm almost 30 and borrowing money from my parents still kinda makes me wanna crawl in a hole and die.

But I had the BEST mother's day, because I have two amazing,beautiful children who I love more than anything, and I spent the day with them. Every day, every second, with them is more precious than any present I could ever get.

I don't get this. I just don't. I wonder if it's media sensationalizing.

PS: My husband started a new job yesterday, so don't feel bad for us! We're steering our ship into calmer water, I hope.

[nopatience]

Pathetic! Bitch doesn't deserve the paper the card was printed on.

My card was a handmade card from my kids. My gift was taking them to the greenhouse to get flowers to plant in their pots. Whatever happened to being happy to be together? The best holidays/birthdays I've ever had never included gifts. They included much needed time with my family. Some people have very fucked up priorities.

[AngelFire]

This bitch is not only selfish, she is crazy. I don't even have words for the amount of stupid this bitch possess. I was ignored all day uintil about 2PM when my kids finally figured out it was Mother's Day. If I were to kill for those reasons, I'd be alone.

And wasn't it great being ignored til TWO PM?! lol

[Ninja0980]

This killing is an extreme example but the attitude behind it goes to what many of you are saying. Merely having a wonderful family with eveyrone healthy or a nice gift that might be cheap but shows more caring and thought behind it isn't enough anymore.
For Valentine's day,if you don't drop a $100 or more on your other half,you should be dumped in a heartbeat. For Mother's day,your kids better be buying the most expensive gift they can buy or they should be disowned. And don't even get me started on Christmas.
Back to this case,she sure showed him by god. Now their sons are orphans. Happy Mother's Day!

[Tundratot]

It keeps coming back to me when I read this thread, we hear about those Hollywood glitterati who get the most lavish jewelry and gifts from their baby daddies when they get pregnant and when they deliver. I remember being just green with envy hearing some of the things they got. Of course, we can't afford a 3 carat lavender diamond pendant, but I really need one. I do!

[evervigilant]

Mother's Day is in March here. I don't care about presents either (just as well!). I will when my kids are making a wage though, then I'd better get lovely pressies lol!

[cubby]

I got a basket of flowers from oldest son and a kindle book gift card from youngest son, what I'm most thankful for is that both of them are happy, healthy, have their own families, working, not in jail and still talking to me. Anything else is gravy.

[LadyCygnet]

My daughter decorated a plastic pot, and the teacher put a plant in it. It made me smile. My boyfriend would have done something for me if he could have afforded the drive down or a present. He has promised me that I'll never have to cook on Mother's Day again once we have our own place together. As for the rest of my family, I got a text from my mom super-early in the morning, but that was IT. I even had to buy the stuff to make dinner because nobody else would, even though I don't have a lot of money to throw around. It hurt, but I put on my big girl panties and got over it. My daughter, my mom, my boyfriend, and a good friend of mine remembered me, and that made me smile.

I can't believe that anyone would kill someone over getting a "cheap" gift on Mother's Day. One should be grateful to get anything at all, especially in this economy. I hope that she gets to spend the rest of her Mother's Days in prison.

I got no gifts. Phone calls only. I have nothing to complain about. The kids felt I was worth remembering on that day... good enough for me. Hell yeah I would have loved more but that it just selfish. I would love more ANY day of the year.

I can't get over-excited about the kids not meeting any expectations I may have. First off, I am the one who raised them and taught them how to treat me. Secondly, they are not mind readers and only know my expectations if I tell them. Third, I am keeping a list of transgressions for inclusion in my will. They can't get all stabby on me then.

[HeatherHabilatory]

They can't get all stabby on me then.

oh yes they can! You just won't notice.

[Dakota Valkyrie]

oh yes they can! You just won't notice.

That's the whole point. ;)

If their behavior bugs me enough while I'm alive, I do my damndest to change it. If it's just little pissy shit, I'll save it and ruin their mourning in my will.

Would click "Like" on all the comments so far but would take me ages! Think all of you guys have the right idea :D I got a cup of overly milky Tea and a plate of cold, slightly soggy toast, followed by a packet of 32p crisps that you can't buy in the supermarket, perfect. Grandma got spoiled rotten with plants and flowers, she loved it, best thing are the home made cards, rather the kids save their money :)

[Aena]

I got a really cute and funny card from my son about me being a great mom because I bought him a PSP, that stands for playstation portable, (yes that part was written in the card) lol and my daughter made me a flower pot with impatiens in it. My 11 year old left me a message on Facebook about how when she tells me she hates me and how she wishes I wasn't her mom she really doesn't mean it, but when she tells me she loves me she does mean it. I would rather have the things I received than anything store bought any day of the week.

[TheMorningStar]

"Mother" is my first name and I still got nothing.

[Silvahalo]

Really pathetic what this bitch did. disgusting.

Like I've always told hubs getting the glitz and glitter is nice, sure, most woman like it but what really matters to me is the sentiment behind the things that don't cost a dime.

The nicest thing from the kids was the homemade cards. Those are the best and hubs making my favorite food I can enjoy for days.
The aww moment I got from hubs was something he said in passing and hadn't said to me in years. "you are such a good mama to our kids". priceless.

My kids, no joke, best thing ever was hearing through out the day, my 4yo... "precious mama" just because, with a smile and my 8yo telling me I'm the prettiest in the morning. lol. gotta love that. robe, bed hair and looking O so not fabulous.
Knowing that a lot of what they now tell me is what I've been telling them for years. priceless.

[HeatherHabilatory]

I recant. I didn't get "nothing." Kiddo of course made three handmade cards. (She likes to make things so she goes into overload mode, and that's ok. I just need a new filing cabinet for the stuff because this one is packed to the gills!) The hubby made my favorite breakfast: french toast and venison bacon.

But I didn't get things that this bitch could relate to. I got love and she obviously has no clue what that is.

[Northernspark]

Well guys, I guess most of these posts have proven the difference between real mums, and those who just reproduce because they are expected to. Reckon most of us have got it right :) Bloody hard job though, lol.

[Rockin Ma]

Well I'm not ashamed I told my family exactly what to get me and where to find it.

They were going to buy something, most likely spending money we don't have. I head them off at the pass by demanding the retro red rebok sneakers at TJ Maxx for $20.

[carolinablue]

I got a day with my kids and grandkids; what could be better than that? you sure can't buy it; it makes me so happy to know my kids find me interesting and fun enough to hang out with. Daughters and I bought each other lunch, ate way too much and had a great time. Back at home we all drank coffee and the kids told stories of the weird and funny things I have done to them. I told stories of the weird and funny things I'm pretty sure they'll do to their kids. Dan brought his kitten, Gary, over and declared him my "grand cat" and bragged that Gary was only 2 months old and already toilet trained.

[Chinchillazilla]

Thank god my mom isn't like this. I didn't get her anything this year. (Yet, I mean. It snuck up on me!)

[Northernspark]

Shame on you Chichillazilla, you could at least make her a cuppa :)
