@idkweird the day my son was born WAS and always WILL BE the best day of my life. And if I get married one day, then that will be an equal first. So stfu you little child. People like you piss me off cause you truly don't understand, and have no compassion for others. Kbye.

Child, really? If your screen name means anything, Ive got 7 years on you. Also, you admitted right there that you are not married, so who is not putting things into perspective here? You also only have ONE child. Does the OP's mother? You have no idea. Im one of 6, so I would never expect my mother to say that one of us was the happiest day of her life and not another. How absolutely horrible of her would that be? Even if the OP is an only child, that doesn't mean it should be the happiest day of her mother's life. As I said, I would expect my mother to reply with the day she married my step-father. Why? Because Im not a selfish twit who expect the sun to rise and set on me. That day was the day we combined our two families into one. How could that not be her happiest day? The OP asked for the happiest day of her mother's life. Not days, DAY. As in one. Why? Because she wanted a specific answer. Hell, the mom could have been trying to be sarcastic. My mother is sarcastic as all hell. Also, "People like you piss me off cause you truly don't understand, and have no compassion for others." Why? Because I think the OP should be focusing on her child instead of trying to get her mom to tell her the things she wants to hear? She should still be basking in the glow of a newborn child. Im sorry, I don't feel sorry people who fish for compliments and dont get the response they want. They shouldn't be expecting a response in the first place. Again, the mom could be joking and the OP took it offensively. Just because I don't feel sorry for someone creating issues in their own life doesn't mean I'm not a compassionate person.

Well, I agree with you, #38. I am a woman, and I'll happily admit that womens' hormones frequently get a bit off during the last few months of pregnancy and right after childbirth, so things may have been said that weren't appropriate or meant. What OP was asking for is indeed a bit selfish - while our children are important to us, we are still human beings. I would expect the best day of her mother's life was the day she herself got married, graduated from college, got a major award, or something like that. Perhaps even the day her daughter graduated from school. Not the day she was in excruciating pain for hours. But we're missing some piece of information here that would explain why the mom is so mad at OP. Perhaps she is a teenager, or unmarried, or in some other situation that the mother does not approve of her having a baby in. We will probably never know.
