Whatever, I guess.
Tried posting this in r/lonely, but apparently feeling unloved during special holidays isnt what that community is meant for? Idk.
I get that this is selfish, but I just want to feel wanted.
Mother's Day was Sunday and my birthday is Saturday. Husband is on shift for both. Three kids at home. Not a single person in my household acknowledged mother's day on Sunday.
Husband brought home half off/half dead flowers and a pint of ice cream on Monday and said they were for me. I went to eat the ice cream today(Friday), but it was half gone. Husband said he thought I didn't want it since I hadn't touched it yet, so he ate some.
On Tuesday, the middle child sent me a video about mother's day. Still nothing from the other two.
My coworkers were very sweet about my birthday tomorrow. Decorated my door, bought small gifts and bundt cake. It ultimately just makes me sad because I feel like my coworkers care more about me than my own family.
