Mother’s Day is an occasion to celebrate mothers and mother figures, but for one woman, the day is a source of resentment. She is the only one in her family without children, and every year, her family expects her to host Mother’s Day and do everything for them while they take the day off. As a full-time caregiver for her parents, the woman feels that she never gets a day off or any gifts, and it has become an “expectation” that she hosts Mother’s Day every year. While many people on the forum agree that it’s unfair for her to be the only one making an effort, the woman feels that she’s stuck in a situation where there’s no one else in her family that can do it.

The Resentment Surrounding Mother’s Day for a Woman Without Children
Mother’s Day is an annual event to celebrate mothers and mother figures. Families all around the world celebrate this day by indulging their mums with gifts, breakfast in bed, dinner, or even just a simple card or phone call. However, for some, Mother’s Day is not all sunshine and rainbows.
One woman, who doesn’t have kids, feels resentful every Mother’s Day because of the expectations her family places on her. She’s the only one without children in her family, so her family expects her to do everything for them while they take the day off. She feels that it becomes her responsibility to take care of everyone and host Mother’s Day.
The woman, who is a full-time caregiver for her parents, is cooking a roast dinner for 10 people this Mother’s Day. She’s also expected to wash up everything, serve dessert and drinks, and do everything else without any help because the men in her family believe that it’s not their job to help out.
Even though the woman shares the responsibility of taking care of two other humans, she doesn’t get a day off or any gifts, unlike her sister, who shares 50/50 custody with her children’s father.
According to the woman, it has become an “expectation” that she hosts Mother’s Day every year, but she finds the idea of Mother’s Day dumb. She feels that she’s stuck in a situation where there’s no one else in her family that can do it.
Many people in the forum where she shared her story believed that it’s not fair that she’s expected to be the only one making an effort. Some suggested that Father’s Day should be organized by dads and children, while others recommended that she should just say no. However, the woman explained that she’s in a situation where there’s no one else in her family that can do it.
In conclusion, Mother’s Day can be a joyous occasion for many, but it’s important to remember that not everyone feels the same way. It’s essential to be considerate of everyone’s feelings and not to put unfair expectations on one person.
