Nothing for Mother's Day

[Rina1971]

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.

Oh does it really matter where this tradition came from? Typical hole picking at irrelevant points. Does it matter if you wipe your arse with your left or right hand? Scrunch the paper or fold? Sit or stand up? Have your roll folded over or under in the holder?
The fact of the matter is, it matters to op that it wasn’t acknowledged in a respectful manner.
@Rina1971 I’d be annoyed too. I certainly wouldn’t be sorting out her hangover. I’d be interested to know what you did for her 18th?

And is nothing to do with cards, presents and pampering

I find my birthday a silly thing to celebrate

Why did you martyr yourself by being 'on call'?

No she was brought up.right hence the disappointment..

I am not a doormat she has been told to be the better person and make amends

Suppose you are perfect.

No it has it's roots in mothering Sunday.
