This is why I sadly hate mother's Day.

I'm a mum of two children under 6 and I sadly lost my mum 11 years ago and I just cannot stand mother's Day anymore for me. I want all the others mums (no matter their circumstances) to enjoy the day. For me though I just find that my DH just doesn't care about it which in turn makes me feel stupid for expecting any sort of fuss. I adored my mum and miss her deeply even after all of this time. We always made a fuss over her she was the centre of the family . Sadly I think I just naturally expected the same for me. Don't get me wrong my DH is an excellent father and works extremely hard but I can't do the spoon feeding on how to devote a day to someone or demonstrate how to make someone feel special. We've planned a day out for the kids but naturally it'll be stressful and the opposite of a restful day ! I seem ungrateful but I'm not I just wanted more. Still doing the usual routine, no lie .. looking around and its gonna be evening meal time soon and I'm assuming that'll me to fix. I'm awful at asking for what I want and he knows that. In an ideal world I'd be over my mums with a tea and a laugh, full on roast and a chat. Cannot wait for this day to be over. Hope you however are having a splendid day. Whatever that may look like for you X 😊
