Had such a crap mother's day

I feel so disheartened from today. My baby is due in May, so far I've had a tough pregnancy and suffered depression too. I was hoping for just at least a few hours with just myself and partner as we will be first time parents this year, and was at least hoping for a silly centimental gift like cheap flowers or a card from bump but unfortunately received nothing :( however, he spent the whole day with his mum and I spend a few hours with my mum too. He's been home an hour and already he's been on the phone to his parents. She's been telling him all about what she loves about her extravagant gifts be brought her (flowers, chocolates, handbag, purfume) and biscuits off bump, however I'm carrying his child and didn't receive anything, not even a small conversation about myself becoming a mum. I've even with my partner 11 years and I feel so upset that he can't make one little effort. I lost my grandad as I fell pregnant and I've suffered grief and depression throughout, so I thought he would try for one day to just make me feel a bit happier. All I was asking for a bit of time with him. However, I feel his mum rubs it in knowingly that he hasn't purchased me anything, and brags about relieving gifts from her 'grandbaby' first. 💔 Am I over thinking? *backstory* my partner is an only child, she's always interfered in our relationship and also makes me feel guilty and not good enough quite often. She always goes against my boundaries and is starting to do things already that I've asked not to do or buy for Mt baby.

Really messed up he didn’t even acknowledge your day. Also super freaking weird he got his mom a gift from the bump but not the one carrying and creating the bump 😂 is he having the baby with his mom? What are the plans for after the baby arrives? Please have all the conversations about his intentions with her role in the babies life because what else is he placing her first in? I sure am glad we had the conversations we did before we had the baby. His family planned on taking my son overnight when I was not comfortable in the slightest and nobody even asked me but there was a nursery all set up in their house already… have the talks.

That is ridiculous no you’re not overthinking. Nobody should be getting a bump gift but you and he definitely should’ve got you things too.

That’s out of order he got his mum stuff from “bump” but not you?! Wtf? Have you spoken to him about it? I really hope he doesn’t get all defensive and go into attack mode! So sorry he’s been such a shitbag today x

You need to tell your partner it’s time to step up or it’s just going to continue to get worse.
