AIBU?

To be fed up of all the Mother's Day threads

Seems to be quite a few of them.

Be happy that you are a mother. Remember you are not your dh or dp's mum.

I was happy with the card that my 5 year old dd made at school.

It's just another day and as my hubby said you are a mother all year round, what is 1 day?

I know it feels nice to be treated or spoilt but seriously don't complain if things were not up to your expectations.

Agree. Also the one's where they aren't a dm yet or they've lost their dm. I think both situations are incredibly sad and yes would be hard to deal with but the day unfortunately won't be cancelled and there is only so many threads you can say yanbu to be upset/sad/angry etc.

Why does it bother you so much? Nobody is forcing you to read the threads.
Who are you or anyone to tell people what they should or shouldn't be feeling?
If they are such an issue for you why did you start a MD thread?
Sometimes people feel sad or let down by those closest to them for whatever reason. Why shouldn't they feel that just because you and others are satisfied with your day/couldn't give a shit?

YANBU. But it's the same every year. Same with Halloween. We need a Seasonal Petty Gripes topic.

Oh I love the Easter egg threads, someone's toddler gets given a tiny chocolate heart by a grandmother and the parents totally lose their shit that it wasnt a fur free organically made low fat no sugar vegetable based treat!

Haha waiting eagerly for them :)

Seasonal Petty Gripes sounds fun. I could moan about all the winter seasonal stuff there.
