Who else is looking forward to the sad sack "Happy Mother's Day to Me" posts this year?  Is the Bump usually the best place to find these?

[Deleted]

It's never too late to be disappointed.

[pantsparty]

It's like Valentine's Day for moms! I can't wait for all the disappointed posts!

Especially the ones at like 9 AM EST.

"So much for sleeping in."
"Guess I'll make my own breakfast."
"Not so much as a hello today."

LOLOL

My cousin posted on FB awhile back "TGIF!!...oh wait I'm a mom."

I had to go to the ER because I rolled my eyes so hard they were stuck.

That's exactly what my mom said on her birthday, at 9am no less.

I have already planned my whole day and told it to my husband.

I told him one gift and then saw it arrive in the mail.

100% guarantee I am going to love my day lol.

[karmasabiotch]

I told J that Sunday was Mother's Day and he said he has a surprise for me from school but wanted to know if he could eat it. I love my chubby kid.

Disclaimer: I don't have any expectations of anything from anyone on anyday.

I opened my Shutterfly Mother's Day mug that I designed and ordered, last night and thanked everyone for it

[ndolehan]

I have no expectations for Mother's Day. I have to work 4am to 4pm and then MIL wants us to come visit. So yeah. I told H I only expect a card and a good bang. i'm pretty sure I'll only be getting one of those things. So meh. And really, I'm ok with it! 

[saraandmichael]

People do this? Wow and LOL.

DD has taken charge of it this year. She gives me daily updates "The boys still haven't made you anything". LOL.

It's hilarious.

"I'm really mad at DH b/c he didn't get me the diamond necklace/new laptop/specific pink flowers/massage GC I wanted for Mother's Day. All he did was give me a crappy Hallmark card and then went off and mowed the grass."

"Did you tell him what you wanted?"

"NO! HE SHOULD KNOW!!!!"

[Deleted]

I got a signed card from my 2-year old, but it was nearly illegible. I guess I'm just a little disappointed that he didn't take the time to work on his penmanship.

[curtains]

I love this whole thread <3
...that is all

At least you

ARE a mother
HAVE a mother
SPEAK TO your mother
DON'T LOOK LIKE your mother

Aaaand I think this pretty much covers the mom martyr guilt wars

[cleo29]

My belated mother's day gift from H is a night a local hotel, just me and some glorious sleep. I think I might get a mani and pedi too.

My MIL will be here which is why I am going to do the hotel stay another weekend.

[Deleted]

I'm about to order myself some jewelry online as my Mother's Day gift. I've learned that it's best when I take things into my own hands and then everyone is happy.

[Deleted]

Next year I fully plan to be upset because I got a diamond tennis bracelet when I clearly wanted a new Kitchenaid mixer with accessories even though I never told him that.

[pinkeggs]

My favorites are the ones where they get their BFP like, 2 days before Mother's Day.

"OMG, I can't believe he didn't do anything special! I'm a mommy now!!!!!"

[lintscreen]

I will totally cop to being disappointed last year on my first Mother's day.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was my first mother's day and I was hoping for something special. Instead I had to drag the kid all over town to see grandmas, great grandmas, mother in laws, etc. Plus, I also had PPD and didn't realize it yet. Looking back, I can't believe how upset I got over it all.

This year, I bought myself some new skincare products and a new purse. I'm good to go.

[eb777888]

LOL!!!

And it happens EVERY YEAR!! Even with posts like these predicting it. IT STILL HAPPENS!! Every damn year.

[malibu]

I don't really have expectations. As long as I'm not doing laundry or cleaning, I don't really care.

I can already tag the FB friends I have that will post passive aggressive statuses on Sunday. And then I will laugh.

[lizard]

It's my birthday, too, this year. I went out and got myself a baby ferret because I know I won't even get a happy day wish. I'm terribly impulsive damnit.

Now this is how you celebrate Mother's Day.

[Deleted]

You guys are going to flip your shit when you here this one. When H and I were dating and mother's day was approaching, his best friend was like "You didn't get her anything for mother's day?!!?! You are going to be in so much trouble!" Like super shocked. I don't have kids, and we weren't even married. H told me that and I was like "Why would you get me something for mothers day? I'm not a mother!" His best friend had been getting his wife mother's day gifts before they got married and before they even had a kid. I kinda thought it was stupid.

Oh and the same best friend was like "You didn't get her red roses (Valentines Day)?!? You are so in trouble!" because H got me pink and white roses. I actually enjoyed the pink and white ones better. No offense to those who love red roses but I felt they were getting a bit cliche in our Valentines day routine.

Needless to say, but H's best friend is an idiot.
