Well Mother's Day started out great. MH gave me a sweet card and I told MIL how much I appreciated it (we came a LONG way to get to this point, and MIL knows it), and her response was, "Why would he give you a card? You aren't a mom yet." Thank you, bitch. I am still puzzled how MH's sweet and thoghtful personality evolved from his family. On the plus side H let me sleep in this AM. It was great.

Ugh what a nasty remark. You don't have to have a living child to be a mom. What about all the grieving moms who have lost children, women who want nothing more than to be a mom, teachers who basically mom students every day, aunts, even pet moms. The concept of Mother's Day is great, but it can bring so much heartache to so many.
And for the record, pregnant women are moms in my book so happy Mother's Day!

Some people have a narrow view of things. MH was actually surprised that I sent a message to a friend who had experienced a miscarriage letting her know I was thinking of her and her angel baby and wishing her a Happy Mother's Day. He had always viewed the holiday as celebrating those who had mothered someone, as in cared and raised them. I told him that there is so much more to it than that.

Sure, when *I* celebrate today it's about the mothering I've done but pregnant moms and loss moms and birthmoms and aunts who raise kids and foster moms and all kinds of people are absolutely moms! I got a card when I was pregnant with DD and it meant so much!
Poor dh he called his step mom this morning and left a message to call back when they weren't busy. They texted once. Sounds like we were getting together later this week. He texted back.
He calls her around 7 or 8 to say sorry we couldn't make it. Happy Mother's day and so on. Hopefully we can get together later this week. Now they are to busy this week. And all her replies were 3 words or less.
Dh is pissed. She needs to stop acting like the world revolves around her. Also she needs to act her age.
Unpopular Opinion: I hate how social media is taken over with Happy Mother's Day posts. I feel like my mom probably sees everyone posting about their mothers and I don't so I feel semi guilty and then remember I don't feel the need to post every detail of my life on social media. *end rant*

Not unpopular in my book. I have never posted anything about Mother's Day, Father's Day, how much I love my husband on Valentine's Day or our anniversary, etc on social media. I'll express my emotions to them personally. I don't share that much online with the exception of a picture of DS maybe every month for people who don't see him though so maybe I'm also an exception.
In regards to Father's Day and Mother's Day, I personally know too many people who hurt on those holidays for various reasons so I don't want to add to the social media explosion.

Well, I get annoyed with the overclogged feed but I truly didn't think of my mom being jealous or anything. Nobody owes anyone a Facebook post. But I admit I don't do the Facebook jealousy thing. I know it's just a bragging platform I choose to use sometimes and choose to ignore other times. If anything, I snort at the most fakey perfect people. Plus I texted my mom with emojis. That's good daughtering!
