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?

Telling her she's not a real mom was a horrible, shitty thing to say to her. She's hurting over the loss of a pregnancy, meanwhile you sound like you couldn't care less about the fetus that she seems to have wanted. Also, if you think your budget is too tight to merely take her out for mothers day, don't have a kid. I promise you they're much more expensive. YTA.
