Nothing for Mother's Day

My 18 year old daughter excelled herself today. She stayed out to 4am, got up at 8am shouted Happy Mother's Day and that was it. I feel devastated and hurt. She knew when Mother's Day was, we reminded her and she confirmed to DP she had it sorted. Now she is acting all wounded as though me wanting some acknowledgement is a major inconvenience to her.

I hope my mum isn't expecting anything. I am not on board with all these silly 'days' and it is really unfair to push expectations to buy shite every other month for the next hallmark sponsored day onto your kids

Mothering Sunday has been a thing since long before hallmark existed

Love Mumsnet. First post nailed it as usual. Hope your day improves OP. Gin this evening.

I agree I don't want hallmark or tat. Making a cake or lunch would have been nice. Instead I have been on-call for hangover remedies. It would just be nice to be acknowledged

My 14 year old said Happy Mother’s Day. My 20 year old hasn’t even done that. And that’s my lot. I gave up caring about it years ago though, I’m a single parent so never had anything for Mother’s Day.

That is being discussed along with a reminder about how to be an adult
