[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did he say when you told him how it made you feel?[/quote]

At first he got defensive, saying "Well I didn't know that you wanted to celebrate the day since you've been so depressed about the Coronavirus pandemic."

I said, every mother wants some sort of acknowledgment of the day, who wouldn't?  I said how come you couldn't even help the kids make a homemade card, you were doing arts and crafts of some sort the day before for 2 hours.

He said: "It just didn't cross my mind to do anything for you."

I said: "Well, my feelings are really hurt.  Look how much time/energy you spent on the surprise for your mother.  You spent several hours on that.  The fact that you thought to do something thoughtful for her and did nothing for me really hurt my feelings and I'm very upset."

He then apologized.[/quote]

Okay, well, it sounds like he understood and hopefully will do better next year.[/quote]

If his apology seemed sincere, and especially if he seems extra appreciative over the next week or so, I'd let it go. If you're having trouble letting go, say "I appreciate your apology, but I still feel like I missed out. What if we rescheduled Mother's Day in our family for May 24th? That gives you two weeks to figure out something nice to do."[/quote]
