I also hate mother's day. I have not talked to my mom in months and the last time I had any contact with her it was her sending me an email telling me that I was making up stories of how she hurt my feelings to get attention. She also said that my wedding was only 6 hours of my life so she didn't need to care about it (this is after I told her that if they we would pay for the wedding when she said since she was paying it was her wedding and I was just getting married there). So you would think that for mother's day she would be happy just to hear from me at all, well my dad calls and ask for me to come to church with them by myself (oh and I am agnostic so I don't go to church). Really, my wedding is just 6 hours of my life so you don't have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable like let me have the day of my dreams but for a commercial holiday that happens every year I have to come by myself to a service I don't believe in with people who could care less about my feelings. So yeah I was a little upset when this was brought up but mostly just thrown off guard that they thought that is was a good idea to ask. I have to say this mother's day might be the worst (hasn't happened yet so I might be wrong) but they have never been great. One year she got mad that nobody had planned anything for her for mother's day (I actually had to work that day but did give her a gift that night) when my dad had planned a mother's day brunch and had booked a table and everything but she had decided she wanted to stay at the pool all day. I have also gotten one of the gifts I had given her back as a Christmas gift before so that was fun.
