The Hardest Day Yet!!

[claireandbailey]

I thought that i was handling being a single mum ok, until I got to mothers day. for some reason i just feel really down today. I think its hearing all the stories about wat everyone partners and kids have down for them today.
I got a card and a new purse from my DD (she is only 9months) mum took her shopping to get something for me. But this morning my mum had to work so it just felt like a normal day. I suppose when Bailey gets bigger she'll know wat mothers day is. I did however take advantage of baileys morning nap and i went back to sleep.
I am lucky i had my mum to get me a mothers day present. To all those who dont have anyone to get them something big :hugs:. I feel down today i cant imagine how u feel.
So happy Mothers day to all us single mummies!!!!!!!!!!

I was just thinking this morning that today must be hard for single mums with little ones. I am married but my DH is away and my two are too little to understand so I got nothing, not even the sleep in that I had said was all I wanted - although I did insist on an extra cuddle in bed at 5.45 this morning! I was feeling a bit low about it all then decided that my gift is the two beautiful girls who have been delightful today and the new one growing inside and told myself to get over it!

I hope that your day gets brighter - give Bailey an extra cuddle and go for a nice walk to cheer yourself up.

I just wanted to say that I wish you were having a better mothers day!! :hugs:

My Mum is a single Mother and I think she is amazing. Your doing a fabulous job with you DD, she is a real little cutie from your avatar. :)

Wont be long before your getting all sorts of pressie from pre-school etc that you will have to cherish forever.

Keep smiling and remember your doing a great thing. :)

Im a solo mother too, this being my 1st mothers day. It is a bit depressing isnt it. My mums working today too so we cant go out to lunch or anything and celebrate all together.
What have i done to counter-act all this, i went to the milkbar in my jammies :laughing: and bought 2 of everything that is made with chocolate. Every girl knows chocolate cures all! lol
Tonight once Zeaks in bed i plan on letting my hair down and snuggling up with some wine, wat ever chocolate is left and maybe watch a DVD or chat online with some of u wonderful girls.
I know how depressing it can be on your own on this special time, but it is mothers day so just do something new and/or fun with DD and just enjoy each other.
Your doing a top job and hey, if u want other solo mummies to talk to, just add me to MSN any time ok chick, Chin up!! :hugs:

I was very suprised my ex actually brought me a mothers day present on behalf of our daughter. The entire 6 years we were together he never brought me anything on his own - i always picked it out and he paid for it. Strangely is was just what i want some face cream and even my favourite brand - i dont know how he got that right.

I am taking my daughter out for tea tonight so i dont have to cook thats enough of a present for me. Sizzlers is fantastic its cheep and healthly and we both love it.

This is my 2nd mothers day and i never thought i would be where i am now but you have to make the best of what life gives you.

Have a great day everyone! :) :) :)

Hey Claire,
Know how you feel!
Although im not very down today as i was able to get together with my family, but it was sad to have no one here in the morning say "Happy Mothers Day"
It'll be great once Peteys older and will understand it all! Just think we have all the hand made things to look forward to :D
My mum bought me a card from petey.....So that was nice :)
Happy Mothers Day sweety! Although theres no one there to tell you, ill wish it to you instead :D!!!!!
Love Nat xx

claire sending you huge :hugs:
i too thought mothers day was going to be a downer (well the morning anyway till i met up with the rest of my family) but my ex suprised me with a great card with eliana's hand traced inside, a huge george foreman grill & yummy breakfast! wonders will never cease
hope everyone got some great hugs from their precious kids

just sending a happy mothers day message to all the single and fabulous mothers out there. today is my first mothers day and i had to spend it without DP because he's gone for work. oh well, its not about him today anyways, its about me and my son. hope you all had a wonderful mothers day even if your child/ren may be too young to understand the concept of mothers day (like mine is..lol) but they are a gift in itself and the reason why we are having mothers day in the first place. hope you all got something nice and a good sleep in. :D

Hey Ladies,
Im a single mummy to be, I had a pretty good day thanks to my family! I live with my parents and i woke up to a sms from my dad saying happy nearly mothers day lol!! Then My Brother came around and he had brought me a bath luxuries pack! It really made my day!! We had a Roast lunch then went to Mount Tamborine! I cant wait til next year when i can share Mothers day with my little one!
Dont know where i would be if i didnt have my Family!!!!:smiliedance:

I'm feeling a lot better tonite. Not long after i had posted this thread i got a sms from my mum saying happy mothers day. Then tonite we went to my sisters place for a BBQ. It was nice and i really enjoyed myself. I guess today was one of those days where i just felt really lonely. An especially hearing about other people mothers days made me sort of jealous in a way. and it makes me want to find a partner to share my life with and thet will do special things for me, I dont know if that really makes sense its just easier to type it all out rather than going round in my head.
I guess maybe i am disappointed because i was expecting my ex to msg me or call.
Doesnt matter next year will be better cos bailey will be bigger!!!!

I'm glad your day got better !

This is my 2nd Mother's Day and although my DH organised a present with DS, the very best part was when DS was having a bottle of milk just before going down for his morning nap. I was cuddling him and he looked up and said 'I lub you Mummy'. He did this once before by himself a while ago (every other time he only says it after I tell him that I love him first), it was so sweet, innocent and wonderful.

This is what makes a Mother's Day, and only your child can give this gift to you...and best of all, it's free !:D
