Daunted Daughters

Like I said to a friend yesterday: "Mother's Day: the one day a year where your family apologizes for treating you like an ass the rest of the year."

That's about how I feel about Mother's Day. Ever since I've become a mother, I've not liked the holiday. Partially because I want my husband and kids to realize how much I do for them -- and not just show me this by taking me out for an overpriced Sunday brunch. And partially because I feel like a crappy mother and generally a selfish individual who does not even deserve a pithy (and, once again, overpriced) card.

This year especially I'm feeling like I'm not only a bad mother but a bad daughter.
