I've just spoken to my DM on the phone.
They are coming down to visit tomorrow and I was asking when they would be heading home. She said they would stay later in the day than normal given that it's a special day.
We have had 6 rounds of fertility treatment resulting in an ectopic and a miscarriage and heehaw else.
I said that we didn't want to make a big fuss of the day and she wanted to know why not. I had to spell out that it was quite difficult because I so wanted to be a mum and each year I kept thinking this would be the last Mother's Day that I wasn't a mum and it also made me think of the babies that I'd lost.
My DM said that she didn't understand my attitude because I still have a mum - her own mum died 12 years ago - and I should be glad of that. She just didn't get where I was coming from at all.
So, AIBU and selfish? I have got her, my stepmum and my MIL a card each if that counts for anything?
AIBU?
To Tell My Mum That I Don't Want To Celebrate Mother's Day?
