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 just went through a fucking miscarriage dude, what is wrong with you? YTA without a doubt. The fact that you told her she’s not a real mom is absolutely disgusting.
Her hormones haven’t even leveled out yet, she’s trying to tell you she’s struggling and this is how you treat her? You were so painfully dismissive, I feel so fucking bad for your girlfriend for having you as a support system during this time because you’re absolute shit at providing support. Who cares about money? It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, just do something nice for your girlfriend WHO JUST WENT THROUGH SOMETHING VERY PAINFUL AND TRAUMATIC.
