Hey guys,
Myself and my siblings screwed up big time about celebrating my mum's birthday today. We had to do it a week early because they're going on vacation soon; so thought we'd do it early. However, we got sick during the week among other poorly made excuses. And I know that doesn't even begin to make up for our mistake. Pretty much, we already got the presents but forgot two things; asking what she wanted for dinner and cake she wanted. What makes it worse is my dad got sick over night and I think he was suppose to pick up a cake. Therefore, I've tried apologizing and asked what we could do to make up for it... But she ignored me. My siblings haven't said a word about it. Losing my mind here and feel guilty as hell. Earlier today, my mum said it'd be an off day (due to being sick, house isn't top notch clean,) until she mention how important today was to her hours later and damn it... I don't know what to do. I wanted to celebrate it, I wanted to clean the house up, but that ship sunk, crashed, and burned. I know what will set her off if I keep pushing her to talk or hover around her; and she has every right to be upset but still I really want to make it up to her by doing her b-day another day but I doubt she's going to want to do it now or say what she wants. Please help. Feeling pretty desperate.
And yes, worst daughter of the year goes to me. Usually something always goes wrong on her birthday or Mother's Day. I really hate screwing it up each year. Last year, I was the only one to get her a present. This year, we forget something important and don't make it into a big enough deal.
