Happy Mother's Day????

sbnurse · May 2010

Why is it that people tell me "Happy Mother's Day" today when I don't have kids and no one even knows we've been TTC. (We've been trying since just after Christmas.)
Is anyone else getting this?? Is it weird that I think it's odd that people tell me Happy Mom's Day? Guess it uust kind of stings a little since my period was due yesterday and HPT was BFN today.

I think it's just a thing people say. Most people have a mom, and you could be a mom. Strangers don't know that you don't have kids. I'm sorry it's bothering you today, that must be rough Sad

My mom has always bought me cards for Mother's Day, even when I was a teenager, because I will someday be a mom, and I'm the reason she is a mom. I think it's nice.

I understand people being nice, especially people that don't know you. (Stores, restaurants, etc. . that doesn't botter me at all) It's odd that that people I work with every day, classmates, and even one of my friends said it to me. The same people that ask me on a daily basis "when are you going to have kids. "You better get started" (Because I'm over 30yr.- Thanks!) LOL!!!
itsmegin - that's so nice of you mom to have bought you cards, how sweet.

See, I don't know if I agree with it. I think that it's out of habit that people say it. They are in auto-pilot and just say it w/o thinking.

Yes, I posted about it in Dober's thread about being "sad" today. I've been wished Happy Mothers Day 5 times. I'm done with it. I think I will stay home for the rest of the day lol.
