7. I have to agree bad dads everyone shakes their head like oh yeah I understand but bad moms?

people think you should try to forgive , oh she gave birth to you etc. F that

I noticed in stores this weekend so many clerks saying Happy Mother's Day to customers
I was with a friend shopping and I said ok I am a mother but what if I wasn't . Seems sort of presumptive or worse , what if you wanted kids and never had any etc?
He said then they will say well everyone has a mother .
I said back what if she just died how happy would you be or if you were anything but happy around your mother and she made your childhood a terrible misery .
I like Mother's Day as a mom but I never think of my mom who is long gone . It's not intentional just doesn't enter in to my day . Not a lot of fond memories I will leave it at that.
Am I bad ? Sez who? Someone who had a mom that functioned and cared for you ? Don't assume everyone should regard either parent as you do yours and did not have the same experience as you did

Then my friend I was talking to said hey in another month they will all be smiling and wishing me a happy Father's Day when I do not have any children and my father walked out on us when i was the age of 2 and I never saw him again . What s so happy about the day to me ?
I just replied to him - exactly !!!

For you a hug back
