I agree--I'm not going to church either. And my grandmother died last year, so my mom is coming to visit and we're going to do things that don't include thinking about it!

I couldn't agree with you more! I used to enjoy it until I lost my mom 2 years ago. Not to mention the fact that I can't become a mommy myself. It's sad, frustrating, irritating and did I mention annoying? So, how no fear your not alone!

Yeah...I'm not going to be at church either. I know that is horrible, but I have to do what is right for me. I will be attending Bedside Baptist this Sunday. I have taken care of all of the Mother's Day gifts-but I have already told my family that I will not be available on that day at all. I don't plan on using the phone or going anywhere...I will just want to be alone. I'm ready for it to be over.

Mother's day is gut wrenching for me. Last year my DH & I went to brunch & there were all of these families & the Mom's had on corsages. There we were just the two of us in the middle of all of these celebrating families. I am definately not even leaving my house this year.

Hi Lili,
I totally understand where you're at. What get's me through the day is thinking of myself as a mom without kids. There are kids without mom's so I think it should work the other way around!

Funny, I am a mom and I hate mother's day too! It's a cheezy Hallmark holiday and, for me, just having my adopted bundle of joy is a gift every single day!

I'm not going to church on Sunday this year either. I learned the hard way last year when the priest asked all the mothers to stand. Yeah, that didn't go over very well for me. You know the worst part about mother's day (or any other holiday), the fertility clinic that I went to for two IVF cycles has a commercial over the radio. Just another reminder of what DH and I don't have! It's so frustrating.

I can handle it in the sense of honoring my mom and MIL. Nobody is a mom yet on my side so I know if we see everyone on Sunday it will be OK. What I dread is my DH's side. One year my SIL had a big thing at there house for Mother's Day and that was hard because I was the only non-mother. Then my FIL innocently and mistakenly wished me a Happy Mother's Day when we were saying hello. I'm just praying it's a simple visit with my MIL this year so we can say hello and get out because if I get mistakenly wished a Happy Mother's Day again, I don't know if I could hold back the pain.
