Hate these holidays

[MommytoEliana]

Mother's Day - a day for making moms depressed and causing family discord.
Valentine's Day - a day to create unhappiness in relationships
anniversaries - see Valentine's Day

Is it just me, or are these days recipes for UNhappiness instead of happiness? I try so hard to have zero expectations for the day, but I can't help being sad and disappointed when the day turns into the usual crap. I shouldn't complain because DH usually does try to at least do something...it's just not necessarily the right thing. And so I feel like I can't be upset because he did make an effort...but really? I don't think there has been a "special" day in the last several years that I haven't ended up crying. I know it is my own fault for not being able to let go of unrealistic expectations...but at the same time, it doesn't feel like I'm being that unrealistic.

Thanks for letting me vent. Hopefully I can hold it together the rest of the day.

I had a 10 minute mini tantrum earlier bc the IDs hadn't done anything. Dh did a good job but is hurt so is limited. I shook off my tantrum and have enjoyed the day since then. I hope you have the same luck!
