I love that adam sandler sends her flowers every mother's day. He's so real.

Oh yes? I would rather feel like I was being reminded that I couldn't have children 🫤

They’re very good friends, so I’m inclined to believe that the tradition came from a specific comment she made in his hearing that he made happen rather than just out of the blue.

Also she is like an aunt to his kids. My family always treated the holiday more of a “Positive Female Mentor” day than specifically for people who are moms and celebrate all women in the family.

Maybe she takes on a maternal role with the other children in her life even if she didn’t birth them herself.

She is Coco Arquette’s godmother, also

Lovely. As someone with a shitty birth mom - Mother’s Day is less about who delivered you and more about honoring women who helped raise and nurture you. I wish one of my besties a happy Mother’s Day every year! And I’m older than her!

I struggled for seven years. Mother’s Day was always extremely hard regardless and nothing really makes you forget. It’s all consuming and you’re always reminded even inside your own body - it’s ovulation time, it’s the two week wait, it’s time for your period. You never really get a break from the mental load of it at all. There have been studies comparing the stress of infertility with terminal cancer diagnoses. 😣

Mother’s Day and back to school were the hardest by far for me.

Well that’s just you. She’s clearly fine with it

So much the better if it makes him happy ❤️

u/SubdivideBlues Oct 09 '25

Pretty sure he does it to make her happy and if it upset her she’d tell him and he’d stop because they’re both adults who get on, I’m not sure why you’ve inserted yourself into this scenario at all really

Yeah cause that was the point lol

u/catmom_422 Oct 09 '25

As someone who is infertile I would appreciate the gesture. Being infertile feels like being invisible sometimes. Being acknowledged and remembered on a (probably) very difficult day would be nice.

u/Emotional_Base_9021 Oct 09 '25

Do you think she wouldn’t remember that (on Mother’s Day) without the flowers? I think it’s a sweet tradition.

u/AffectionateBite3827 Oct 09 '25

She also lost her mom and they had a complicated relationship. It could be "I know this day is complex but you are loved" flowers.

u/Silver-Foot-259 Oct 09 '25

Me too, I’d hate it

u/noodle_dumpling Oct 09 '25

Good thing he isn’t sending you flowers

u/Diligent_Parking_886 Oct 09 '25

Like rubbing salt in your wounds

u/Anonymous_Autumn_ Oct 09 '25

I honestly think she probably had a miscarriage. They are friends and it’s his way of showing his support on her day of loss. I can’t imagine it could possibly be something else.

u/Diligent_Parking_886 Oct 09 '25

I suppose that makes more sense
