I lost my only child to cancer but that doesn’t give me the right to tell anyone that they are lucky to still have their children and shouldn’t complain about having no effort or gifts shown to them this Mother’s Day.
It could be argued that at least I’m lucky enough to have experienced the joy of being a mother when others haven’t had the same blessing bestowed upon them.
Stop belittling people’s feelings and sadness by telling them they should be grateful to still have their kids or mother.
I would be bloody upset and annoyed if my child was still here and I never got acknowledgment for all the love and care provided.
A cup of tea and a hug goes a long way.
Also, some mums are just pants.
It isn’t for me to give permission to moan or not moan but I just wanted you to know that from my point of view, your feelings are valid and I wouldn’t feel you should be grateful and dismiss or invalidate your feelings.
Happy Mothers Day to all those that feel it applies.
Happy tomorrow day for all those that just want this day to pass.
