Somebody Tell Her That

by Zoey @ Good Googs on May 10, 2010

This year, Mothers’ Day was a pretty awesome day. Sleep in, pancakes for breakfast, lunch made for me, a nap in the afternoon and generally waited on hand-and-foot.

But. And it’s a big but. Somebody should have told my daughter that it was Mothers’ Day. Would not let me pick her up all day – it was ‘Josh! Josh! Josh!’ and she was having a daddy day. No cuddles or kisses (although I did manage to sneak a cuddle before bed. This morning when Josh was going to leave for work he asked her for a cuddle and she came up to him, kissed him square on the cheek and gave him a big squeeze. When I left she just said goodbye.

Now – to be fair – she often has mummy days – so I often welcome daddy days. But Mothers’ Day?! It’s a pity that 2 year olds don’t understand the concept.

And naturally, when I came home from work today – sick with an impending flu, exhausted and pretty hungry – it was at that moment that she decided to go back to being a mummy’s girl. And really, stroking a little one’s head when they are teething, upset and overtired when you are tired, groggy, sick and hungry is what motherhood is all about.

    Ha ha. We had my daughter’s second birthday party here with 18 2 year olds. No mother’s day for me. I even forgot to say “Happy mother’s day” to my OWN mother until about 4:30pm when my friend said it to me. So, I guess I can’t complain…

    Hope you feel better soon.
    Glad you had a nice mother’s day, despite Daddy favouritism.

    Hope the flu gets lost soon. My 4-year old has been having ‘daddy days’ every day for weeks. He’s the first person she wants to see in the morning and the last one at night. It’s lovely but I do miss her being ‘my’ girl!
