I am just going to gently attach these from Lu, because someone went hogwild in the tags and we love that.

#holy fucking shit??? great gran frieda??? hanging whatever her sons have painted for her??? #boy oh BOY now i think i can give her a gold star sticker *slaps it on* maybe shes not much of a cunt as i thought initially i mean- #she still is but a little less of a cunt- like 00000.1 less of a cunt- little less cunty than the average cunt #little manny and friedrich reciting poems for mom and then playing the tuba and the violin(? man#you didnt mention her but auntie gris also doing her littlest effort with the harp like :0

#finally siegfried saying thst being 5 isnt old enough for a knife strangely reasonable and its coming from him so ig that is good #little marky and wolfgang making a picnic for mom nom nom nom eating away the little sandwiches and pastries like nom nom nom #i did forget for a minute manny's wife passed away so the thought of a little fran with a burked pancake at age 3 was like... man it hurt#little fran with a frying pan that's 2-3x her size or maybe she'd use the tiny ones that arent bigger than a plate to hold teacup

#also little thought like gandulf tinkering around with things and someone being like 'what u making for your mom' and he ansers w smth like #'i have 3' ans the person who asked is so fucking baffled LMAO little gandulf is... tinkering around with great grandpappy did #i feel that frieda would find it a bit irritating but oooh her getting a dust-collecting trinket from him like he is VERY proud#again biggest flex is that he named three important bits in this one thing after his moms and it got sent out to space!!!

#arnborg W for being part of a death metal band I didnt expect that from him- besides making little model airplanes#sounds like the dad who has a set of [insert interest] in the garage or basement like teent tiny figures#feeling a little sad for ilse and jörgun for not having a mom around BUT they can spend them with grannies!!! oh and little gretchen well#tbh most likely they would have a picnic or some shit- i want to imagine that they'd have a picnic or maybe they would just help around and#feel a little less lonely like... ugh i cannot word it entirely but anyway they spend a good day with meemaws and they bake!!!

#keks is the sort of child that would do something for mother's day regardless if edith said no like 'dad what're we doing for mother's day'#and markov would be like 'nothing and 1) call me father is is better and 2) edith isnt your mom'#but not in a malicious way but the sort of 'we got married for tax and insurance benefit and tbh idk if she'd be comfortable with it'#von karma fan family

no but genuine question... how do the von karmas celebrate mother's day, if they do at all? i'm assuming it was different for everyone. the mental image of a little manny making pancakes for his ma is very cute and little nikolle making up a card full of glitter and hearts for the best mom (and prosecutor) is heartwarming. just leave it to nikolle and phoenix (bigger phoenix?) and unicorn.

biggest flex is gandulf having three moms and his kids having three grannies, go webers!

Truth be told, I haven't thought about it much, so while I have been Stardewing some Valleys, I have been thinking about it. (It does help that I have recently added the Ridgeside Village mod and have been meeting the Amethynes. The butler is unfortunately not romanceable and neither is the grumpy scientist at the river, but oh well, my farmer is already married, we don't have to make this into a dating sim, just this once.)

I don't think Frieda got to know her mother much, so she didn't get to really celebrate Mother's Day... which is probably why it wasn't much of a thing for her.

Herman and Siegfried grew up attending a public school. A very good school, but still it brought up teachers having certain expectations about what is celebrated in families, and so they both had to make "Happy Mother's Day" card every year in their Crafts & Arts class. Mother Frieda thought the result a garbage and the boys did completely agree with her, but they still had to make them. So they made a tradition of ceremoniously throwing out the cards or paper flowers or whatever dust-collecting decoration the teacher had them make, and instead they were allowed to paint something with Frieda's oils or temperas or watercolors, and if it was good, Frieda hung it up in the gallery for a year and then replaced it with whatever they made next year. Siegfried was a disaster with paints, though, and since he quickly got out of the house to study abroad, his pictures had never quite made it.

Friedrich and Manfred most likely had to deal with private tutors and as such their mother got to have a say about that. Therefore they had probably practiced a short poem of a noteworthy poet and showed off some musical skills. There probably were pancakes for breakfast as a celebration, but I don't think that Manfred actually got to cooking until he was an adult trying to live on his own. But once he was an adult and visited his mother, he definitely made pancakes for breakfast, Mother's Day or not, because he was happy to see her. (Herman probably never got pancakes made specifically for him. He was respected, he was obeyed, he was feared, but frankly both of his children had to reach the conclusion that they would have been better off without him, at least mentally.)

Wolfgang and Markov (and Siegfried) celebrated with their mother with a picnic outside. Once they were old enough to carry some responsibilities and be allowed with a sharp knife without supervision (here Siegfried disagreed that five was old enough, but he conceded that fine, sharp knives and going alone on public transport only once they start attending the elementary school), it meant that they prepared and planned the picnic and took care of mother's duties for the day. Hence Markov knowing how to do laundry and knowing that he absolutely hates it.

Helena, Leonore and very baby Franziska probably also got to celebrate with pancakes, the secret of the perfect von Karma pancakes passed down from Manfred to the eldest daughter and from thereto the younger ones. then Ms. von Karma was tragically lost to the world before Franziska was old enough to fold a frying pan without being outweighed and outbalanced by it, so she might have never actually learned how to make the perfect pancakes. It's not like Manfred kept his personal cooking notes in public access...

Gandulf, if he rememberes when Mother's Day is, gifts his mothers decorations that eh hand-made. As a young boy it was exactly that kind of dust-producing trinkets Frieda hated, but nowadays it's intricate engineering stuff, and actually last year he named after his mothers the three core segments of the space probe that was sent to monitor the moons of Neptune!

Nikolle (besides being taught the pancake secret) always pick a theater play or a concert, purchases the tickets from her allowance (and as she gets older, from her savings from her part-time jobs), and they attend as a family. One year she tried to have a teenage rebellion and picked out a death metal band only to find out later when Arnborg was "randomly" picked out of the crowd and pulled on stage that a) her dad can absolutely shred it, and much to the horror of both the ladies, b) said dad used to be a member of the band long long time before she was born, back when he was still attending the university. Since then Nikolle does a thorough background check on whatever she wants to attend.

Ilse, Jörgun and Gretchen do not celebrate Mother's Day on the accounts of their mother not living with them anymore. Ilse and Jörgun used to celebrate it by performing a dance number and taking over the kitchen, but that's pretty much it.

Not to speak for Vani regarding Keks, but if Edith got to have a say about Mother's Day, it was "Don't."
