Being a mother is one tough job. It takes tons of sacrifice, time, patience, and energy while being hardly rewarding.

Yet, the profound joy that comes from nurturing and watching a child grow outweighs any challenge. The sleepless nights, the countless diaper changes, and the constant juggling act between household chores and childcare can be overwhelming, but the unconditional love shared between a mother and her child is unparalleled.

Other than their birthdays, it's important to make these women extra special on Mother's Day. Unfortunately, one man believes that he shouldn't be honoring his wife on a day that celebrates mothers.

The original poster (OP) shared that he and his partner, who is the mother of their 9-month-old baby girl, are in a tough situation. On Mother's Day, the man didn't acknowledge his partner, thinking it was not normal to do so.

He wished his own mother and female colleagues but overlooked the importance of celebrating the mother of his child. When asked about his choice, the man explained that he feels uncomfortable seeing other men acknowledge the mothers of their children on Mother's Day.

This has strained their relationship, leaving his partner hurt and angry. Despite her efforts to express her feelings, the man insists he's not at fault.

Moreover, he struggles to understand the emotional impact of his actions on the mother of his child. He asks the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) community if he's wrong for not acknowledging his wife on such an important day.

The OP wants to know if he's the a-hole for not acknowledging his partner on Mother's Day.

The OP tells the community that his partner is hurt over him not greeting her a Happy Mother's Day.

People can't believe that there are people out there like the OP.

It should be so easy for him to acknowledge his partner on this special day. But he doesn't.

The OP needs to set a good example to his daughter. That's why he needs to acknowledge his partner on Mother's Day.

One Redditor shares that even her ex-husband got her gifts for the occasion.

His acquaintances don't care much about his greetings. But it would mean the world to the OP's partner if he greets her.

One user can't believe that this story is true.

It wouldn't be surprising if hundreds of people copy and pasted this comment on the OP's thread.

The OP's partner is a mom. So she needs to be acknowledge on a day dedicated to moms.

People are criticizing this guy's social norm.

It's quite hard to grasp the perspective of the OP. In general, it's an expected gesture for everyone, including him, to wish their partner a Happy Mother's Day—it's a societal norm.

However, despite this common expectation, the OP seems to dictate his own set of norms to his partner. Even after not fulfilling the expected gesture on this special day, he finds himself defending his actions.

No wonder he's being called the a-hole by the entire community.
