I have sort of the same feeling as you. I would love to be selfish and stay home letting it be my Mother's day. Unfortunately my mom doesn't accept that. And she would be upset if I did it another day. So I don't really feel like it is a day for me. It is more a day for my mom. Somehow my sister and I made it our thing to go out to breakfast with my mom, and then my mom and I usually go to a really nice garden store that my mom loves. It is always a really nice day and I leave the kids home with Daddy. But I do feel cheated and always wonder when I will get to celebrate myself being a mommy. I may have to change it around and have the day for me, and my family and I will go over for dinner in the future.
