Am I insensitive or is my girlfriend crazy?
So my girlfriend picked Mother's Day to tell me that she's pregnant. This will be the first for both of us and we're both excited. But immediately after telling me, she asks where I'm taking her to celebrate Mother's Day. First, she's not a mother yet. Second, we live in a relatively small college town and between Mother's Day and graduation (which was also Sunday) all the restaurants were completely booked. Since then she's been all pissed off with me because she's a mother to be and I didn't buy her flowers or take her out to celebrate Mother's Day. I might have tried to set something up, but like I said I only found out on Sunday and it was too late. If anybody out there (females in particular) can tell me WTF I could/should have done differently, I'd appreciate it.

Ok, so she tells you THAT DAY and expects you to do something for her THAT SAME DAY?!?! She's crazy. Girls are crazy...I'm sorry, I know I am one, but sometimes I wonder how you guys put up with girls like that.

Wow...that's pretty silly of her. How were you even supposed to know to set anything up? If she needed something done for her on mothers day that bad she could have told you a few days before.. Then you could have done something nice for her since you knew by then that she was going to be a mother. So no...it's not your fault whatsoever! She can't expect you to magically know...or run out that second and do something nice-especially since it's crazy on mothers day.
Talk to her about it! Calmly explain to her why she shouldn't be mad at you...how it's not your fault..it's neither of your faults. Make sure she knows your excited and happy to have a baby as she might be feeling that you don't care. Maybe give her flowers or something and take her out to dinner....and smile! Your gonna be a daddy!!! :)

Yeah you screwed up. She needed more reassurance from you and didn't get it. Go out, buy some nice groceries and cook her a very tasty but healthy meal. Tell her how happy and excited you are to be starting a family. Make some jokes about how the food is healthy because she's "eating for two," (dunno you come up with something better). Give your a massage and treat her like the future mother of your child.
If she's brings up mother's day, apologize. If not, I wouldn't mention it and move on.

it is her first mother's day what no flowers are you serious she is technically still a mother it is growing inside her but she is pregnant right now and that what should count
I could understand about the dinner but you can always go to a gas station nearby or take some off the neighbor gardens & wrap it up in a ribbon so it look professional be creative for god sake male species is doom!!
If she just gotten pregnant how can her hormones kick in that fast cause you actually didn't say how long she is & it probably would help to answer this but any who

She's CRAZY! Nooo...you said it right.. she's a MOTHER TO BE! not a MOTHER yet. Dont feel bad. Pregnant women overreact all the time. In fact, get used to it. Take her out, have a good time, get her the flowers. make her feel special. Remember that her hormones make her act like a child. Just dont let that affect your feelings. Treat her like a 3 yr old. "Yes honey, I would love to take you out, however remember that you are a mom to be, and we will both celebrate the coming of the baby, but not today please" Expect her to react, remember' sometimes she'll be a mom-to-be, others she'll be a baby-to-be. Just be patient with her.

First of all, she didn't feel appreciated. I would not want my boyfriend to get defensive if I was upset about something like this. I would apologize and mean it if I were you. Tell her your side (IN A NON-DEFENSIVE WAY) and then it shuold be fine. Or you can plan to go out for dinner sometime this week and say I'm sorry I didn't do this on Mother's Day but can we pretend today is?

lol your a character! haha... It's all good, you didn't do anything wrong. Your girlfriend shouldn't have waited that long to tell you and plus like you said she is gonna be a mother which she is not yet a mother.... Congrats on the baby though :) you gotta remember this her hormones are going crazy so thats why she is all cranky, but she will get over it soon. good luck!! :)

No, she expects you to plan for something you didnt know about?
She seems dramatic.
If I were her, yes I would like to celebrate, but I wouldn't demand going out to dinner or getting flowers. Staying in with my bf and having dinner together at home would be perfect.
It would be one thing if you knew about it earlier. But its unrealistic to expect anything when you tell the person last minute.
