[quote=Anonymous]Figured I would just kick off this Mother’s Day week of stress with my ode to how much I loathe it.

I will spend an inordinate amount of time trying to ensure my insane emotionally abusive mom who also hates Mother’s Day and my stepmom who will be offended if I do nothing but who will also dodge my calls all day because she feels awkward about it and also hates Mother’s Day.

Meanwhile my husband, who is not great at these things and who is otherwise an amazing husband, will likely do nothing. Despite years of me saying basically, “I don’t care what you do, but do SOMETHING so when people ask me about it for the next week I don’t have to lie or say you did nothing. Like go get some grocery store flowers morning of, I don’t care, just something. And then I’ll feel mild irritation at him despite him being otherwise awesome for hanging me out to dry on this Hallmark holiday.

And then I will read 30 think pieces on how all women are mothers and how we really have to think of all these other categories of “caretaking people who are women (probably who identify as women, which is fine, not a dig, just don’t want a snotty comment about my misspeaking)”. Just adding to the pressure to not only properly honor my “moms” and ensure I am honored enough that everyone I know won’t side eye my family, but I also have to make sure I don’t offend all these other people. Exhausting.

If I could make some deal where no one would ask me about it and both of my maternal figures and I all agreed to just speak nothing of it, that’s what I would want for Mother’s Day.
