I googled "pregnant"+IUI+blog, and here I am. I have a child, but we lost our 2nd baby during pregnancy...and now we're about to head down the road of IUI. Anyway....I think you make excellent points about the holiday. I imagine it was pretty hard. What really prompted me to comment: your dad asking you to send a Mother's Day Card to his current wife? That just seems weird. I think that at some point, when you have children, it may be more appropriate for your child(ren) to send her a card since she may have a grandmotherly role for them....but she's not your mother. I don't send Mother's Day cards to all the moms I know...just to my mom & grandmas. I dunno...that part seems weird to me. I’m new here. I googled “pregnant”+IUI+blog, and here I am.

I never really lived with my mother and have never been terribly close (she left when I was just a few months old). I dutifully bought cards until a couple of years ago, when I nearly started bawling in the card aisle. The cards are so sappy and lovey and we're just not like that. Then I had DS last year and she detached completely. I wish advertisers (and society as a whole) would realize that not everyone has a mother around or aren't lovey-dovey with theirs. :( Yeah, I have never really liked Mother’s Day.

I always agonize about these things. Especially when it comes to picking the right card for my own mom . For years my mother and I were estranged so the concept of Dearest Mother cards are foreign to me in that sense. I am REAL if nothing else and I don't do frilly or GOOEY when it comes to my mom. She would not appreciate false sentiment.. And then I have a stepmonster. For years I thought She was really deserving BUT as the years went by I discovered shhe the type that as long as YOU did exactly what SHE wanted AND YOU didn't NEED, she GAVE and GAVE.. But BEWARE there was always something attached. Like one year, we could have used groceries BUT we got a trainset instead. No doubt she was regifting Anotherr year she have me a house full of furniture that I didn't want OR need. Expensive furniture but not what I would have picked for myself. I had my own furniture. She always gave me stuff when she was cleaning out her own house. I learned to say NO THANK YOU after that.. Then ofcouse I was the ungrateful stepdaughter. If you fell onto hard times, then you were a BIG LOSER. No room in my heart for cranky old misers. My mother in law is no problem. The one before that was no problem either. They are ( One passed) dear sweet ladies. ;D The kind you want to send a room full of flowers to. My 94 y/i\o Nana passed last year. I sure miss her. But mothers day is extremely stressful for me. And I am kinda at a loss too. I understand this post. I always agonize about these things. Especially when it comes to picking the right card for my own mom .
