Sweet heavens, did any of us actually have a nice Mother's Day today 😭 I've seen a lot of sad or depressing posts today. Please share your day if it was good ❤️

My husband made breakfast, and then I had a bath while my son napped. I didn't get a card or gifts but I don't value those. We spent the day together and to me that's perfect

@Bambi the damn fing cheek of your SO. And very low of your MIL to have your kid on Mother's Day how inconsiderate. Well there's always "Father's Day" to ignore. Maybe go spend that with your family 🙄

I got a card (that I found out I bought he used my card 🙂) and he scribbled in it pretending it was my daughter instead of just sitting with her to let her colour in it. I just wanted to go to the park and chase her around and go feed the ducks but he said it was going to rain and then my daughter was too tired 🙂 he also told me Mother’s Day isn’t important as it’s just any other day so I shouldn’t be upset that she’s going to spend the day with his mum. So I spent my day crying and she was at her grandmas 🥲

I’ve also had a wonderful first Mother’s Day! Woke up to coffee and breakfast and cuddles with my little guy. Husband surprised me with a trip booked to Paris! 😍 We then did a little bit of shopping, and went on a gorgeous little walk round a farm and park. Then came home for a Sunday dinner and lots of play time and cuddles with my son. It’s been perfect, I’ve waited years to have my first Mother’s Day and I feel like I’m just on cloud nine! 😊 I’ll be seeing my own mum this week to celebrate her too!

I got woken up by our smoke alarm going off from my breakfast in bed 😂, then argued with my 5yo about brushing her teeth/getting dressed 🙄, dropped them at my parents so we could see my mum (i saw her for all of 10 minutes) & give her gifts. I then went to work for 11 hours. My partner brought my LG to see me at work for a couple of hours in the afternoon, which was really nice. We had a couple days in the week together instead where i took my mum & daughter to a special afternoon tea & my partner went with us on a shopping day out the day after, where he bought us all lunch. So my mum definitely felt appreciated this week too.
