The Mother's Day Cards That Don't Exist

Most women don’t look like the mums sitting on the front of Mother’s Day cards.

Some are the mum and the dad. Or are in the midst of post-natal depression. Or are meant to have a baby in their arms, and they don’t. For some, it feels like they had a loud and full house just yesterday, and now it’s empty. Others are step-mothers, or foster mothers, or adoptive mothers.

Today, Mamamia celebrates all kinds of mums - the ones who feel like they’re failing or the ones who find today a source of pain rather than celebration.

We see you.
