Wait, what?! Not a real mom because you had a c-section?! Bullshit. Just complete, total and utter bullshit.

I'm gonna have to agree with all this. Like a thousand times this.
I've followed this thread since the beginning, 'subscribe to thread' is my friend.

That's just how they are. They just naturally assume that I already know/are okay with whatever they're planning.

But apparently I'm not good enough to invite to fun family stuff. I wasn't invited to mother's day stuff since according to my mom I "had a c-section, so it's not like I'm a real mom."

What in the fudge - "Not a real mom because you had a C-section"??? If my mom told me that I would sever all contact with her and disown her. Literally. I would hang up if she called and only call my dad on his cell, not the landline.

What a saga. The problem with your Grandma and Mom is that they know you are better than them and they are jealous.

C-section shmee section. At least I can run a business, keep tax records straight, manage my money, have a happy husband and GET MY SHIT DONE without begging someone else to do it.

So Fuck You. Have a Nice Day.

<hugs Kana. Really BIG hugs.>

One thing, hun...you said your mom *still doesn't notice* you throwing out a box a week. Are you STILL doing that stuff for her? <.<

Also, I'm super proud of you for what you've done, and how much you've learned. GO KANA!

...

So much love for you right now. Just.

Perfectly succinct and to the point. Could NOT have said it better myself.

[Dilorenzo]

Important thing is that you did, indeed, come out on top of all this. Everything may not have worked out perfectly, but you are where you are now cause of your experiences - and you know you want to do it again, and what pitfalls to avoid.

I'm refraining from commenting on your mother right now because... well, rage is not conducive to constructive posting.

[morgana]

according to my mom I "had a c-section, so it's not like I'm a real mom."

Da fuq?

Can I be your mom, Kana? We can talk quilts, and I can tell you how proud I am of you . . .

Okay, kidding, but . . . Why do you still talk to these people, again?

QFT My initial reaction was, err, let's just say somewhat less tame (being a C-section mum myself).

Kanalah you are super, mega, total, epic, awesome-sauce. I may not ever meet you IRL but I'm so proud of what you went thru, how you handled it, and what you've learnt from it

C-section moms are real moms.
Adoptive moms are real moms.
Foster moms are real moms.

[wagegoth]

Thinking about it, hubs and I think they wanted to teach us a lesson, since apparently we think we're better then them.

I think it's pretty clear that you are, in every respect, including humanity.

trying to imagine a "fake mom", my brain is holding the image of a cardboard cutout of June Cleaver....I'll go be strange somewhere else now.....

WHAT!!! You are a saint. Please tell me you told your mother where to shove it.

*splutter* Outrageous. Absurd and callous statement to her own daughter!!and insulting her grandchild to boot!!So if you are not a 'real' mum, your kid isn't a 'real' kid? Guess you have pinocchino then

[Fire_on_High]

Gosh, I'm not even a mother and that made me sputter with rage. Please tell us there's a Tijuana nursing home in her future!
