Sounds like you have an issue with your phone. Maybe put it away on your amazing Sunday morning.

Seems like a least a few others feel this way...

My do not disturb turns off around 8. Doesn’t mean I want to get an early text

DP. Maybe change your settings to when you’re ready to receive?

DP i will never be ready to recieve a HMD text from my coworker early Sunday morning. I have professional boundaries

Let the kids treat mom today. Have you noticed how every mom friend, sister, aunt, etc. send these HMD texts? It’s gone over board. I can see how that irritated the Op.

NP and I agree. It’s one thing to hear from my own mother, my MIL, and my sister. Maybe an aunt or two. But I really don’t need to hear from friends and *old coworkers.* Like, just focus on your own mom and people close to you! I don’t need junk texts from every corner of my extended acquaintence.

Old coworkers have your personal cell? Why?

I would block these people. And don’t give out your personal cell if you are this offended by contact.

My college student texted me at 2:30 AM and I saw it when I woke up. I appreciated that he was thinking of me.

I think it’s so weird for women to wish other women HMD.

It’s a holiday for kids to celebrate their moms/grandmothers. Period.

Well you don’t if they have your cell number and they feel comfortable texting you. I doubt someone has never texted your personal cell prior and then started this morning.

Because this site is full of women who want to be miserable and find any excuse to do so.

I don’t mind the texts but feel they are a bit overboard. My kids are older. My husband is buying bagels and we’re having brunch with my in laws. It’s work for him, which I don’t think is necessary. I like just a verbal happy Mother’s Day or flowers (I bought potted flowers for myself yesterday). I’m just not into being the center of attention.

It’s called Do Not Disturb. It’s a modern marvel.

I'm a DINK and I get next level passive aggressive behavior from some people (friends) if I don't acknowledge. I've settled on a a message in the group chat to all of them. I can't win apparently.

There are more complaints on DCUM about Mother's Day not being celebrated in just the right way than any other holiday.

You keep your phone by your bed? Don’t do that.

Some women might have mothers. I am not a biologist.
