Sorry you're having a hard time with Mother's Day. We usually don't do a big celebration for it, but this year, because of when it falls, we are having a celebration for one of my niece's and one of my nephew's birthdays. Usually, it's not that big a deal with my mom, but my dad gets a lot to be around (I think he is undiagnosed Aspergers), and my aunts & uncles all have opposite political opinions from my husband and me and are constantly voicing them. Plus, I have an aunt (never had children) constantly telling me how I "should" be parenting my daughter. Grr.

But actual Mother's Day itself isn't that bad for me now that I have a daughter and am a mom myself. We usually go out to eat someplace I like or my husband will take my daughter out and give me some peace. I think it's a bit easier when you have kids yourself on Mother's Day.
