Single mom on mothers day?
I’m a single parent, I have been for the past 7 years. I have a 7 year old and a 4 year old, neither of thier fathers participate in thier lives at all. So I have always thought that someone, family or friends or even current people I was dating would pick up the mothers day responsibility. It has never happened. Every year, I sit alone by the door, and wait for flowers that never come. I check the mail many times to see if anyone sent me a card. I wait for a phone call to see if anyone cares to call and wish me a happy mothers day. This year I really want my current Ex (we broke up in janurary and although my children are not his, we did have a misscaraige that was his) to send me flowers and spend the day with me. I begged and begged and begged for him to spend the day with me but all he could say was that he wanted to be left alone (he asked that I leave him alone for several months while he thinks about things between us). But mothers day has always been something I want to be special and all my cousins and aunts and sisters all shove flowers and pendants and stuff in my face every year and say things like "well show us yours" or "what did you get?" and it really hurts my feelings that no one cares about me on any holiday, esspecially the one that matters most to me. How can I make people care and do something nice for me on mothers day…don’t all moms…even single moms…deserve to be acknowledged on mothers day? I really don’t want to repeat the past 7 years of sitting by the door crying and waiting on flowers that never show up…someone please help me and tell me how to make my ex(s) care?

Sorry to break the news to you but you can’t make anyone care about you. If he does give you something and doesn’t care about you it’s not going to be that special to you because he will be doing it out of obligation instead of free will. The only thing you can do is hope and pray that you will find a man who will treat you right and when you do find that special someone he will sweep you off your feet.
Mother’s Day doesn’t always have to be spent with your Ex. Recently, my friend’s father died, so she spent Mother’s Day with her mother. They just went out shopping for fun and had a good time. Mother’s Day, I personally think, is a day for a Mother and her Child. You really don’t need your ex.
sorry if he care he be with you ,,,,
it’s no ones responsibilty to send you or give you gifts on mothers day. i know that it may hurt but still mothers day is for children to appreciate their mothers. when your kids are older and they understand your KIDS will do nice things for you. you shouldn’t expect other people to do it. hell, i have a husband and it’s like pulling teeth to get him to get me a card from our daughter. there is no way to MAKE someone care.
They aren’t going to care besides flowers die… you should just take your kids to Chuck E’ Cheese and enjoy being a Mom to them. The little things your babies make in school are the ones you really cherish.
