AITA for Skipping Mother’s Day With My Mom Because She Chose Her Boyfriend’s Kids Over Me?

Mother’s Day is supposed to be about celebrating the bond between a mother and her child, but what happens when that bond feels like it’s been replaced? I’m a 15-year-old guy, and for as long as I can remember, my mom and I have had our little traditions. Every school break, every holiday, every special day — we were a team. But this year, that changed. Suddenly, it feels like my mom has a “new family,” and I’ve been quietly pushed to the sidelines. After she left me out of a spring break trip to spend time with her boyfriend’s kids, I couldn’t help but feel betrayed.

Why I Said What I Said

Let’s find out what other Redditors think about this story.

Maybe I could have handled it with more tact. Maybe my words stung more than I intended. But it’s hard to sit across from someone who once made you their priority, only to realize you’ve been replaced in the front seat of their life. Mother’s Day is meant to honor the person who’s always been there for you, and lately, that hasn’t felt like my mom. I’m not sure if that makes me ungrateful or just hurt, but one thing’s for certain: my feelings didn’t come out of nowhere.
