\nNEW YORK (CBSNewYork) \u2014 Happy Mother\u2019s Day to all the moms out there Sunday.
Sure, brunch and flowers are the typical traditions, but CBS2\u2019s Ali Bauman went out to ask New Yorkers just how they were spending the day.
Kids may get 364 days a year, but Sunday was all about mom.
\u201cI made her handmade cards and fortune tellers, \u201d 9-year-old Anna Fidel said.
How about a day of pampering for the woman who once changed your pampers?
\u201cWe\u2019 re going to get our hair and nails done then brunch, then see \u2018Wicked\u2019 , \u201d Diane Thompson tells CBS2.
But even on Mother\u2019s Day, does mom ever really get a break?
\u201cFirst I\u2019 m taking my daughter to a soccer game then we\u2019 re going to brunch and then we have to go see my other daughter in a play of \u2018Godspell\u2019 , \u201d mother Ida Craig said.
Apparently not, one mom couldn\u2019 t stop to talk because she had to get her son to a late morning doctors appointment.
And that\u2019s where dad comes in, to take some of the stress away \u2014 sort of.
\u201cI\u2019 m trying to make it as easy as possible, \u201d father Jeff Gruccio said, \u201cwhich is not the easiest thing to do sometimes.\u201d
\u201cYeah, I got to sleep until 7: 30 which was spectacular, \u201d his wife heather joked.
One wise dad was stocking up on flowers and had some advice for other fathers out there.
\u201cSpend some time with them, make them feel special, \u201d Hussain Zaida said. \u201cGive them space, which they\u2019 ll appreciate.\u201d
For Melissa Curry, this Mother\u2019s Day is already much less stressful than it was last year when her son Charlie was just a newborn.
\u201cWas not as relaxed as this, \u201d she said. \u201cWe were in a little more of a panic.\u201d
But Curry had nothing on one grandmother who was spending her special day the right way \u2014 getting ready for a special trip to Paris with her husband.<\/p>\n
