Not been wished on Mother's day

[user17298270]

So I haven't even been wished by my DH and our DC (they're young, the eldest is 10 and youngest is 2 so only really expected it from the eldest). We don't make a fuss of Valentine's day or anything and I'm annoyed that it's upsetting me that they haven't bothered at all. The same thing happened last year and I got annoyed and threw a tantrum.
This year I reminded them twice in the last few days that it's Mother's day on sunday. I always at least make the kids wish DH on Father's Day. Am I being sensitive for being upset that they couldn't give a toss.

My own relationship with my mother is pretty strained (abusive childhood and all) so now I'm thinking maybe this is how it will be for me too.

What do you mean by wished? For them to wish you a happy Mother’s Day? Or for them to do something? Make you a card? Or a present? Or breakfast in bed?

What do you mean wished?

Your child is 10 and Mother’s Day has never been acknowledged? If that’s the case then I wouldn’t be surprised as sounds like you’ve let it go for 10 years.

If you would like Mother’s Day to be a thing, make this clear, your family don’t mind read or perhaps because you don’t celebrate it for your own mother they don’t think it matters to you. Maybe they’re just selfish and don’t value you. Let them know, am sure by next year at 11 your child can sort something out himself.

Yanbu - same situation here

I don't want much, but the kids didnt didnt even make a card prompted by dh.

I'd ignore fathers day and DHs birthday but a) its passive aggressive b) he wouldn't give a shit as he hates fuss and gifts on such occasions.

If I mention it he'll just say it is commercialised rubbish, which yes it is but an acknowledgement of appreciation would be nice

You threw a tantrum last year?

My DC are with their dad this weekend. Ive had no mention of it. No text or WhatsApp message or anything. I'm trying not to be pissed off about it. Its not working.

Haven’t been wished?

What does this mean? Do other people use this phrase?

The OP means she hasn't been wished a happy mothers day.

It sucks. There's several threads like this today. People are so blind to what mothers do within families, it's just accepted as what they do.

to you OP.

It is crap, yanbu at all. Ignore any of the bitter posters who say otherwise.
For all we do, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a card at the very least. Dads should step in when kids are too small to take it on and should cajole the older kids who need simply need a nudge or some basic pointing in the right direction.
for all who have been forgotten - let's all remember this feeling when Fathers Day rolls around and not be guilted into going above and beyond.

I worked out what the OP meant, but have never heard this use of wish before.
