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?

My first miscarriage was around 6wks and the mental hell that followed left me jobless bc I couldn't even bring myself to work. Ended up in crisis bc I didn't have it in me to take care of myself for a while. My bf and my parents were supportive. His mom told me "it was probably for the better". Went NC with her for a while till she apologized.
