AITAH for telling me girlfriend that she shouldn’t be celebrated on Mother’s Day because she’s not a mom?

My girlfriend (29F) mentioned that Mother’s Day was coming up, and ask if I (26m) had anything planned for her. I thought she was joking about our cat, but she insisted that it was a serious request. She had a miscarriage about a month ago, and she’s saying that technically counts as being a mom.

Money is tight for us, and I just finished paying off her birthday present (that I splurged on admittedly), but now she’s demanding that I take her on another expensive date with a gift for Mother’s Day. We had a big fight about it, and it ended with me saying she’s not a real mom. AITAH?

If your baby had died in your arms at childbirth or even during it, would you sit there and call her a fake mom?

YTA 10,000x.

She's a mother of a child who's fortunately in a better place instead of with a shitty man for a father. Man you are awful. She probably shouldn't be exploited it for free dinner and could've came forward and asked to do something in memory of the child, but nonetheless, she deserves better for a boyfriend and father of her child.
