My own mum wouldn't wish me a happy mothers day back - AIBU?

[charliearms]

A quick sense-check:

I am a mum to a 2-year old. I messaged my mum, wishing her a Happy Mother's Day:

"Happy Mother's Day. Hope you enjoy "tea" with "max". Lots of love xxx."

She simply replied: "thanks xx" (and not because she's too busy)

This really upset me, that she couldn't even bring herself to wish me a Happy Mother's Day back. It seemed pretty cold, and I would have thought "normal" for your own mum to at least acknowledge your own mothering too. (I'm certainly not expecting anything more than that!). But then, am I being unreasonable?

Your thoughts please? I'd really appreciate some perspective. I don't know why this upset me so much. Perhaps it's the fact I'm having to work today rather than spend time with own child (self employed, with no family support, after high-needs son ill for last two-weeks, working from cafe seeing other mum/daughter pairs out and about etc.). Don't want to de-rail with too much info!

(FYI: "max" is my sibling, who she's meeting up with today, i'm taking her out tomorrow)

YABU - She shouldn't be expected to say anything back
YANBU - Just a little acknowledgement would be nice

Surely it’s about the wider picture.

my MIL wished me happy Mother’s Day and it felt weird because I’m not her mother and we’re not close. My own mum love hearted my message to her and immediately started talking about grandchild’s sport….

but I didn’t notice that one as odd (and actually my mum got involved in helping my DC get me a card flowers as DH is unable this year)…. Because of the wider relationship.

So my mum did wish me a happy mothers day as a second message after acknowledging my message to her yesterday. However while that was lovely it was unexpected.
