Shit mothers day anyone?

[ladygindiva]

Competitive thread for those whose mother's day was shite like every other day. In my case because autistic DD in full meltdown mode before I'd even got out of bed, I have a horrendous chest infection but still had to go to work and toxic abusive ex gave me a mouthful of verbal abuse and now usual Sunday night shite of DD spiralling about school tomorrow. There's more but I'm too tired and ill to type. Come aboard and cheer me up by telling me how crap your day was. Pity party, all welcome.

It does sound like a lot of the mum’s who received gifts and cards are upset because they aren’t quite the right ones.

My mum is an abusive drug addict who only speaks to me when she wants money. Left me saddled with 20k of her debt, bailiffs knocking on my door (after she moved in, changed her address to mine, and disappeared off again).

So I had a lovely day of seeing people gushing about their mums and how they're the best mum ever while my inner child cried in the corner.

I don't have kids or any other family members so that's about it.

At least the clocks went forward, so it was an hour shorter than usual.

Sorry you had such a rubbish day 🥴

Oooo I’m here for shite Mother’s Day stories.

my husband spiralled into an awful mood Saturday as has gone cold turkey on his anti depressants. Blaming me for everything and then slamming around the house and furniture at 10pm at night while me and kids in bed.

Didnt get out of bed in the morning so I looks after the children got them dressed and took them to church solo (he doesn’t do church) took them out all afternoon to get away from his mood.

8pm he is angry at me for going out all day and ruining Mother’s Day.

no breakfast in bed, no lie in, no flowers

Sorry for all the shitty mother’s days

I got some nice things and cards from my dc and I took nice things and cards and gc to mil and my dm. On the way to visit though a car in front of me ran over a deer and I spent a very stressful hour dealing with that and waiting for the police to come and shoot it as it was so badly injured. I can see the poor thing struggling to stand when I shut my eyes. The dickhead who hit it did nothing to help and fucked off and I hope very much there is karma cos he deserves what comes back to him.

My MIL was staying, DH had his hobby in the morning - so I asked him to get pastries on the way home, but he said ‘we’d sort breakfast when he was back’. He didn’t get back until 11 - so I cooked MIL breakfast whilst chasing non verbal autistic DS round the house.

Can’t really do cafes/ restaurants with DS - so sent DH & MIL off for a coastal walk in the sunshine - followed by pub lunch I booked ages ago.

sat with DS in the garden, but he’s going through a difficult patch - so spitting & hair pulling. I’m also 8 months pregnant & feeling woefully uncomfortable, so felt very tearful & alone.

Reading back, makes me sound like a total martyr, I just want someone to care enough about me to make the same effort - life feels very bleak at the moment.

I had a tooth removed in the morning by a huge Russian torturer. 😩 Then sat and watched FA Cup all day with gauze hanging out my mouth...

I think that’s a pretty low bar personally. Home made cards would be my minimum expectation from younger children.

I think the Father’s Day comparison is also relevant. I do a lie in for him, followed by full English. He gets a gift that each child has chosen with thought and hand made cards. We also usually do a special dinner, his choice which I of course organise. I’m not doing any of that this year. Which as I said above is bloody miserable but maybe that’s the way to get the message through.

My husband made no mention of mother's day until after lunch when he asked when did I want my card, only he hadn't written it yet. It turned up about 3pm. My kids are 4 and 2 and he hadn't even bothered to make sure they knew it was mother's day. He then had to spend the whole day working so I looked after the kids on my own.

That's so sad Mimsy, I'm sorry. He may not know what day it is, but you do. My son died many years ago but I still display two old Mothers' Day cards.

Was in Milan on a city break. On Saturday I spent nearly 12 hours in A n E as I hit my head and my knees off the footpath! The Italian health system is very good. I had a Ct scan of my head, x ray of my knee and ultrasound of my abdomen. All ok thank god. I had to stop warfarin for a day due to the head injury. I have severe osteoporosis so I'm delighted I didn't break my knee. And all the passers by were very good, called an ambulance etc. Was allowed fly back home on Sunday but my knee was quite sore. Now this morning I have panda eyes. Did manage to have a delicious strawberry and banana crepe for breakfast on Sunday and a delicious Indian takeaway when we got back home!

Has your daughter died?

Well, if she wasn't, she probably wouldn't be too happy I gave 10 sacks of her clothes, handbags and shoes to charity and left her with none.

oooooh unfortunately i love this thread.
kids x 2 at university. text from one of them at 10am. nothing from the other one until a vague message at 4pm.
i had lunch by myself in mc donalds and then ate an orange from m and s (important that i didn't shove m and s eclairs in my face)
i lowered my expectations last year so this year i expected nothing and i ended up with 5% more than that. apparently postage costs are so high, say the dc, that i'll get my mothers day card/s when they're home next.

It’s a complicated day for sure. My heart goes out to both of you because there really is nothing worse than losing your child no matter how it happens. Love and hugs to you.
