1st Mother’s Day Rant

Has anyone else’s partner ruined their first Mother’s Day? My Partner started the day off by starting an argument over me going to see my mum with the baby this afternoon because we don’t see his mum a lot (who btw is on a cruise atm) he then gave me my presents(which he used my money for) and turned round and said I got you a card but nothings been written inside of it which I just put to aside because I’m not fussy if I get a card/presents or not. I just feel like my first Mother’s Day was ruined before it even started. On the plus side I spend the day with my mum and a little boy who made it a lot better for me. Any suggestions on how to confront my partner on this please?

Yep mine ended up being hungover with a migraine and I get he can’t help a migraine but I then spent time out of my day “playing nurse” (and not the sexy kind 🤣) because he couldn’t look after himself 🙃🙃🙃 I also only got something because my mum made an effort to on behalf of my little boy… like you though I did spend most of my day with my mum and my boy but still was a bit shit if I’m honest … (Sorry not much help… I’ve not confronted mine tbh!!)

It’s not my first Mother’s Day but it was same as last year, so my partner thinks that he don’t have to celebrate it because our son is too small, and he won’t be doing presents from him. When he will be old enough I will have a mother day. I accepted this last year but this year I made a massive argument and at the end I get a card and flowers. But the day is ruined and I feel like I mean nothing to him.

Could it be that he possibly had made secret plans for you and you were going to spend time with your mom? They can't read our mind so the best thing we can do is calmly communicate what we are thinking and feeling and what would be nice to do on such occassions.

It really pisses me off that some people can’t make one day special for you, it gives narcissistic vibes. Happens alot with birthdays too. My daughters dad couldn’t even text me happy Mother’s Day let alone get me anything lol, thankfully my boyfriend is supportive and he brought me flowers and a card. Give the same energy to him when it’s Father’s Day!
