It was Mothers Day on Sunday. My son made me a mothers day card at school and was delighted to give it to me. He also presented me with random stuff throughout the day (half a biscuit, a stone, a pine cone). I thought this was quite sweet.
some friends of mine sent me text messages wishing me happy mothers day…somehow I found this disturbing and it made me want to shout I AM NOT A MUM!! Nobody texted me on my annual performance review day….
More disturbingly when my son was little (6 months) people kept asking me what my husband would get me for mothers day…to which I wanted to shout I’M NOT HIS MUM!! Luckily my husband knows this and got me nothing thus avoiding years of recrimination…
