Starting from about the age of 22, I’ve been recognized in some way on mother’s day.
I was given a rose at work one year.
My ex’s mom used to text me to wish me a happy mother’s day.
One year at a restaurant, I was given a free dessert.
Ya’ll. I do not have a child.
I have two dogs that I love very much. But no child.
There’s a message that goes around every mother’s day about why this day is hard. If you have a complicated relationship with your mom or fertility issues, I get it: it can be complicated. But for me, a women in her 30s who has chosen to not have children yet and is happy with that choice, I do not need to be recognized.

Omg yes! Leave me alone. My mother has 5 grandkids from all my siblings but she asked my husband and I when we’re having kids and I’m like leave me alone. If I wanted a kid I’d try and have a kid. Idk why it’s anyone’s business anyway
