No Mother’s Day comments from skids

And I am THRILLED!   I never wanted any of them to ever wish me Happy Mother's Day.  The one and only time I was wished HMD was my first year of marriage to DH and it was from YSS who was in kindergarten.  He made me and BM a card.   
YSS was with us this year and had to desire to go home to see BM.  This is becoming a pattern.   I was gone all day so didn't care.  But YSS never even spoke to me let alone said HMD.   I don't want to me their mother or considered their mother.  I had no part I. Raising them and was just fine with no fake comments from any of them!  I'm sure BM thinks I am just devastated by the lack of contact from the skids....oh BM...I WANT you to take all the credit for creating these monsters!!

If I got a Happy Mother's Day from SS20, I'd be like ... OK, um, thanks?

I don't understand why stepmothers expect to be acknowledged as if they are the same as the kid's bio mother.

Agree.  I have never been acknowledged on Mother's Day, which is in March here - nor would I wish to be.  I do not consider myself an anything mother to my SDs, whatever name is given to the role.   I am their father's wife and that's it.   I can see that if you have a good relationship with your SKIDs (ooh, was that a flying pig?) then they might give you a card and you might be happy about that - but not in my world.

Never wanted one and never got one, but then again, I have never put myself in place as a "mother" to the skids.
