As a Birthmom, Mother's Day was day I dreaded. I remember one year when Dairy Queen gave out free sundays for Mother's Day. My brother, sister and I stopped with our mom after church. They gave my mom one. The person working happened to be a high school classmate of mine and said to me "well, I suppose you technically qualify but no one really wants to think what you did so you should just probably pay for yours." I think of that statement every year. I didn't ask for a free treat. I knew no one thought Mother's Day was meant for me. It is truly amazing how insensitive people can be. My absolute favorite is when in church they have all the moms stand and in particular they ask all the amoms to stand because they are "extra special" because they have "taken in the abandoned of the world out of the goodness of their heart". If that didn't make me feel like a heel.
Sorry, Just needed to vent.
