My husband and I couldn't have children and that makes it rough this time of year. I'm not on FB today because the sight of all those pictures with their children and grandchildren gave me an anxiety attack.

Was not seeing your mom today part of a plan or did you just decided not to go today?

There are lots of ppl who don't see their families on holidays, so don't beat yourself up. When you feel better, make a plan to go out to dinner or cook one together.

Believe me, lots do it to get away from all the crowds and waiting. We're going in the middle of the week. I could never be in a crowded room so that makes it easier.

negative energy will disrupt your life and has a tendency spread and envelope all things and ppl around you. Maybe it's good for you to stay to yourself today. To regroup and get your thoughts together.





I don't know if I helped. I hope so

If anyone says anything to you, tell the to mind their own business and f*** off. Who they heck do they think they are? God I have 2 kids and don't care to celebrate this stupid Hallmark invented holiday, it's a crock so that Advertising agencies and stores can make more money...that's all it's about.

Don't let anyone give you crap because your not a mom. Trust me having kids is not all it's cracked up to be. I have a 25 yr. old son, and a 16 yr. old son. My oldest son and I have a great relationship, we always have. Unfortunately my younger son was 11 when his dad and I got divorced..I'd stuck it out for 21 years of marriage and 24 years total with dating. I stuck it out through affairs and his alcoholism, but it just got to be too much. So I left him. He was hooked up with and living with another woman 4 months after I left him and 2 months after that they took my then 11 yr. old son. So my youngest son is a pain in the ass, he was raised in a way during his pre-teen and teen years that would never have flied in my home. I love my son, but he's a smart mouth, snotty, mean pain in the ass. His brother can't even stand to be around him. He spends Mothers Day lavishing love and gifts on his white trash step-mom, and sends me a 4 word text. Does it hurt, yeah. Do I lose sleep over it? No, not anymore. They've trained him and manipulated him into being exactly what they want him to be and there's nothing that I can do about it.

So, yeah I could do without Mother's Day, it Sucks. My mom dies in 2010 and she was so mean, cruel and abusive I don't miss her a bit! If I have to deal with Mother's Day just to have an hour long phone conversation with my oldest son, well I can do that anytime without all the crap that goes with it.

Truth is stranger than fiction!

There's too much pressure and guilt in this society for people to have kids. Some people are gifted at parenthood and some people are gifted at other things. I don't have kids by choice, and I contribute in this world in a lot of ways. Like helping my friends out when they want to kill their kids. My parents weren't the best role models - dad said if it had been acceptable in his day to not have kids he wouldn't have. But they did the best they could. This "mother's day" and "father's day" (and I think they've got grandparents day too) gets a little out of hand sometimes.

I talked with an old HS bf on FB last night out of the blue and he asked if I was married and had kids and I said No I'm divorced and couldn't have kids and then he said "That seems sad." Well....there are tons of things I've been able to do and see in this world bc of not having kids and being without a man isn't hardly the "saddest" thing!! I've seen others kids grow-up and their parents don't even hear from them unless if they are lucky on a holiday or when they need money.

Not to begrudge anyone that does have a husband and family bc there are two sides to every coin but I took offense to being told that it was "sad."
