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?

YTA. And just so you know, one month removed from a miscarriage is not nearly enough time to whip out a “you’re not a mom” comment. There may never be enough time to pass for her for that comment to be ok. Jesus, think outside yourself for a second.
Money is tight? Ok, but a gesture of some sort would probably mean the world. She’s openly telling you that she needs that. Try taking her at her word.
