Social media is hard.

[achromia]

I had the same thought. No Facebook for me today.

I just got a well meaning facebook message from my Dad. "Happy Mother's Day to a great cat mommy."

[mustloveerica]

DH got me cards from the cats and dog. I loved them yesterday. Today they're just making me sad. Two years ago SIL announced on Mothers Day that she was pregnant. We are on the way to see them now and I am irrationally afraid that she has another baby to announce. She has been talking about her "next baby" for a while now. And she always gets pregnant first try.

[blabbermouth]

I'm not even personally feeling feels and I still find it annoying. It's like when people write about their child being "the love of their life" and I'm like seriously?! and your husband is? Also, MH's mom has been gone for 4 years now, so I feel bad for him!

I logged in to a notification from MIL and was scared what it might say but she was just wishing a happy anniversary. I probably will avoid Facebook the rest of the day. Facebook is harder for me the longer this process takes and that sucks. I'm glad we have each other!

[getzystark]

+1 to avoiding it all together today.

***BFP WARNING***

Just logged on, saw three back to back pregnancy announcements and now I'm off Facebook until like Wednesday.

[helloerrbody]

I have been having a hard time with Facebook lately. We are going to my BIL and SIL's for lunch. They are pregnant (first month off bcp- "wow we were so shocked" barf) and she and I are not in a good place as she keeps being very insensitive. She texted yesterday that I should bring wine today "if you want it."

I do love my one friend who posted an article about the history of mother's day. The article focused on the founder's opposition to commercialism of the day.

His cynicism always brightens my day.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Sorry for the poopy feels today I went to church last night and its whole focus was on simplifying motherhood. It would've been great for a mom's retreat or seminar but for a whole group of people in different stages of life? I was a little over it.

Lurve you guys.

[youdontsay]

Sending you guys so many hugs right now. I'm glad I have this support and we support each other.

[cheshie6]

I'll be avoiding FB today too. I hope you have all the cake and mimosas today.

[mrsjene]

I got a "Happy Mother's Day in case we are no longer in touch when you become a mother."

What?!?!?!

[nuggetrn]

((hugs)) to all who need them. Facebook sucks, just hang out here!

I logged into Facebook briefly this morning and was happy to see a good friend post a photo of her and her DH on a beach vacation. She has been trying for over a year and has just started to seek help and I can't help but think she probably planned to be away today on purpose. She is the pastor's daughter/church secretary and has been married for almost six years... This of course gives people complete license to be completely insensitive and ask all the questions. I hope she is having lots of fun.

Seriously?!?!

[kayladawn91]

I texted MIL this morning to tell her Happy Mother's Day and she replied "happy other mother day". I'm assuming she's taking about my dogs. But I wish she would just stop. I also opened FB to a Happy Fur Mother's Day from multiple people. I appreciate the thought I guess, but it kind of hurts.

[wanderingheart]

+14 to staying away from social media today. And people in general.

Omg. People are the absolute worst. I am so sorry. 

[ohinvrtedworld]

I also loved being asked last night by a family friend when we want to have kids, and to shake a leg because being an old parent when your kids graduate sucks. I am 25 and H is 28. WE ARE NOT OLD!!!!

Seriously, get on that you old fart.

Man, I wonder what they would say about MH and I.
If I were to get KU this cycle MH would be a month shy of 41 at time of EDD, which means he would be 59 when the kid graduates from H.S. The horror!

He sent it in a group messages that included my siblings and step-mom because I won't be home today. My sister will get the brunt of awkward comments in person. My dad constantly harasses her about grandkids. It's not cool.

Was it from your dad? That sounds like a dad thing to say.

That's how old my BIL is with a new babe. I should pass this advice on to him so that he's aware that he will be ancient by the time that my niece turns 18.

[RajahMD]

Mother's day frustrates me for other reasons (relationship with my own mom has been sucky for the last few years) and we're TTA, so I wasn't expecting to be upset by FB today as I am. I think it's because we've come to the realization that TTC won't work during residency.

The worst was the "happy mother's day" text from my mother's husband. He didn't reference our pets until after I replied that he must have sent it to the wrong person. It was such a gut punch when I read it.
