does your mom get you a Mother’s Day gift?

My mom only gave me a card for Mother’s Day and I do so much for her even in my own motherhood and I don’t wanna sound like a brat or anything, but I kind of feel a way about her only giving me a card signed with her name. I wouldn’t even expect something over the top like maybe just some flowers or a bottle of wine

Not my actual mom but my stepmom would get me gifts and say they were from my son.

Sad 😢

My boyfriend took our 11 month old to go see his family for the day. I didn't go because they don't know I'm pregnant yet. I feel sad and alone, I really have no friends and I don't know how to be alone

Am I the only mom that doesn’t want to be around my family tomorrow? Like at all?

Unfortunately, I’ve been battling with my relationship. I’m a mother of two (ages 1 and 11) and my partner is not the most “thoughtful” person. I feel so unseen, under appreciated and just overall not the greatest. I’d much rather spend the day alone - relaxing than to feel so uncared for on a day that should feel extra special. Am I the only one?

Leaving my husband

, I am so fed up of being the default parent all the time and I am fed up of doing so much of the parenting and household shit. My husband does more than lots of men but I just feel like I would rather be on my own, at least then I would have some time on my own when he has his boys every other weekend. Am I over reacting?

Am I expecting too much from others ?

im sincerely struggling with loneliness during this pregnancy i’ve always struggled with friendships because it’s always one sided , friends who are inconsistent and only reply when they feel like it . It’s draining so i stopped putting in the energy blowing up peoples phone . I was never the type to be like I’m not texting first but after a long time, I realize it’s best for my sanity and mental health because it really all just one side truly and it drains you . I have people that check on me every now and then saying how much they’re there for me & how much they love and care for me and I just don’t feel like it’s sincere. I need you guys to understand if you read this that I’m not asking someone to blow up my phone all day or always hanging out all I can say is regardless of anything everybody picks up their phone everyday these are people that I know who spend time on the phone during the day. I’m just asking for consistency and something genuine .
And sometimes it feels like i’m asking for the world .
I have my husband and I’m truly grateful for that he really is my best friend the biggest support he does everything with me and doesn’t open his mouth to every complain but sometimes I do want a true friend and it hurts a lot .

And I wanna be open to meet new people but it’s a cycle no one replies 😅

What’s your thoughts!!!!

Ladies, if you tell your significant other that something they keep saying bothers you, and they continue to say it anyway on multiple occasions, that’s not “just joking” anymore.
Imagine having a normal conversation about food or a restaurant and you mention, “Remember when we had pasta from there?” and his response is, “Must’ve been your other nigga because it wasn’t me.”
The first time may be brushed off as a joke. But after you express that you don’t like comments like that, and he still repeats them, it starts to feel disrespectful, passive aggressive, and unnecessary. What would you do next?
