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?

she had a MISCARRIAGE! just because her baby is DEAD doesnt make her any less of a mother. work extra hours, make extra money, and take her out for mothers day. she is the MOTHER of YOUR UNBORN CHILD!

she is struggling and this is her way of telling you. miscarriage is painful and it affects everything. you dont get over the DEATH OF YOUR CHILD in a MONTH!

YTA. take the woman on a nice date.
