You're very kind for actually helping your children shop for their father's girlfriend. They may have forgotten to say "Happy Mother's Day", but I'm sure you're the only one they love =) Wow! You’re very kind for actually helping your children shop for their father’s girlfriend. They may have forgotten to say “Happy Mother’s Day”, but I’m sure you’re the only one they love =)

We moms need to feel appreciated and it just stinks big time when it doesn't happen.

My son gave me what I thought was a jewelry box... turns out it was a model of our house. So I upset him. It was not a good day. I scraped that day and will hold my mother's day another day. I think your feelings are natural. I think you did the right thing. But yes, it would be nice to be remembered. And sometimes I hate feeling like this. But that's the reality. But now you've vented... so you can lay it down, walk away and have 11 months to remind them of NEXT mother's day... :) (In which we can go through this all over again.... :) ) My daughter did not wish me a happy mother’s day.
