You may not be with them but they're still the parent to your child.

This topic came to me several years ago around Mother's day...my ex and I both live in the same state yet when it came to Mother's day, he didn't wish me or mention anything about it. In a way, I was hurt. Yeah, we're not married any more but that doesn't change the fact I'm the mother of his first born son and child. Just because I'm not with him doesn't mean I don't give him a message on Father's day.
What do you think...you think this is a small matter of etiquette or am I just finding something else to complain about?
Happy Mother's day to those who qualify!

I can understand how you may have been hurt by him not wishing you happy mothers day. I think that you also have to understand his point of view. Maybe he wouldn't have meant it, so he chose not to say it. It is better to be honest, even if the truth hurts. I think you shouldn't really take it to heart because you don't need his comment or wishes for you to know that you are a good mother. Happy Mothers Day to you

You deserved a message or two because there is something with you which relates him to you. If you are giving him messages on father's day then he should also give you the same on mother's day but that includes the fact that he is married or not. May be his wife isn't allowing him to come to you, even if it is mother's day!

I can understand you being hurt. Even though you are not together, he may not have felt he had to do anything for you, even though you are the mother of his child.
