Do you call your Daughter on Mother's day?

Forums:

I got an email this morn from my 28 year old daughter who is also a mother. She did call me on Mother's day but it was brief, I thought something was bothering her. I didn't ask, my family was waiting on me to start a movie when she called. The email says that she was upset that I did not call her for Mother's day. She told me that she knows that she is my daughter and that I should call her but that she is a mother too and she was hurt to think that I did no call her. I need input here. Do you mothers call your daughters to wish them a happy Mother's day??

I did. And my DD25 is still

I did. And my DD25 is still expecting her first, a "mom to be" as they say.

I also called my skids' grandma (GBM) and my husband's sisters, as well as my closest gfriends, to wish them a HMD (my, and my DHs, moms have both passed - otherwise I would have called them too)

Everyone has their own opinion I guess.

I think that a lot of times

I think that a lot of times people forget to go down the ladder and always go up. I always call my mom and grandma and MIL but I never think to call my aunts, SILs and friends who are all mothers, and I honestly don't know if I would think to wish my daughter a Happy Mothers day. I know my mom doesn't call my SILs but they all call her. Personal preference I think.

Your daughter has no right to

Your daughter has no right to expect you to call to wish her a happy mother's day. If you did do that, it would be nice and she should consider it a bonus. It is certainly not an expectation. All of us should view these kinds of days as an opportunity to bless others. Once we start looking at ourselves: what did I get, who called me...gifts & phone calls become meaningless. Just like at Christmas, giving is better than receiving. That needs to be her attitude.

Thank you, that is how I see

Thank you, that is how I see it too.

You don't call her, she

You don't call her, she should call you...

Now me, I take my mom out every year. She is my mom. My SM came in my life in my twenties, so I don't consider her my SM. Nice lady and we get along fine, but she is not a mother figure to me. Now, I do respect her as a Stepmom for how she has treated me. I don't wish her one. She has a daughter and I am not it.
