I haven’t seen my mum on Mother’s Day and I feel so bad, she only lives in the next village.
She has spent almost the whole day at my sister’s and is still there now, as it is also my niece’s birthday. My BIL is poorly just getting over a stomach bug so we decided not to visit them as I am pregnant and don’t want to catch anything, plus a close relative of my DH is immunosuppressed due to chemotherapy so if we caught anything and passed it to them it would be very bad indeed.
I saw a post on social media which said you should really appreciate every Mother’s Day you are lucky enough to have with your mum. I dropped over her card and chocolates but I am on social media and I see loads of my friends having taken their mums out for afternoon tea or dinner and I haven’t done this for mine. Just feel lousy and guilty - she deserves the world!
I suppose I could go over this evening when they are home, but it looks like an afterthought, doesn’t it? What else could I do to make it up? She doesn’t seem bothered but I would hate to think she was privately upset that she hadn’t seen both her daughters.
