Bad first Mother’s Day

I feel really stupid being upset over an arbitrary day but you only get one first. All I asked from my fiance was a card, and some flowers, and a lay in. Long story short, I was the one who got up with him and got him dressed into a baby grows I got him for today and it just made me feel silly. He then took the baby downstairs to feed him and they both then fell asleep for two hours. I didn’t even get my card until 1. He said to me once waking up “I thought I was giving you what you wanted, free time.” I don’t know what I expected from today but I wanted some sort of effort from him. Maybe just make me a cup of tea? It doesn’t come naturally to him, doing things like that though so I again feel sill for being upset he didn’t do anything special. He doesn’t understand why I’m upset, and said on Father’s Day he doesn’t want anything just some free time to do what he wants 🤷🏻 I don’t really know how to get out of this funk/teary feeling when the day is just nothing like I expected, even though I knew I shouldn’t have expected anything. I hope you other mummies are having an absolutely lovely day ✨

Isn’t Mother’s Day in May? Did I miss it? Lol

But regardless, I would be pretty upset too, especially since you told him what you wanted and he couldn’t deliver :( I’m sorry you had a crappy first Mother’s Day. But know that you’re an amazing mom! And usually that means you are the one waking up and taking care of the kid, making sacrifices and fuckin killin it everyday! And you deserve for your fiancée to make it up to you!

@Lindsay this is a UK group so it’s today x

I get you- it’s just about making the effort and showing appreciation. I would feel the same, it’s the small things, but try to not let it take over x

If it helps I didn’t even get a card! My partner was also hungover.. I was really looking forward to my first Mother’s Day. Just wanted a card and maybe some flowers and a coffee made for me so I feel you.
