I'm not a mom

I can understand why you don't want to tell them you're not a mother. But, I don't think people will say it only to woman who actually have a kid, just to anyone. So don't feel guilty, they don't mean anything with it, I suppose.

But you could consider yourself a "mom" if you are an Aunt? My Aunt acts like a Grandmother to my kids and she has no kids of her own.
Don't worry it's pretty common to assume that most of us women have had a family. Just take it with a grain of salt, as they have no bad intentions tward you they just don't know.

Every woman is a mother in some way or another...LOL
Woamn are always the caring one andeven if you just have a pet, then you are a mom. Just take the best wishes instead of repeating yourself over and over again.

Only if a man that seems atractive whishes you happy mothers day then you can reply with "I not married", or something like that.
OOPS, if you are married, ignore him as well.

you're my Mama Bear!!!

lol you have furrbabies dont you:P

Your mom to them.. i dunno why people assume that.. or is it they get you mixed up with someone else?*shrug* start replying you too even to the boys:P lol

happy mothers day,we didnot want a child during the early stages of our marraige by choice.but i would often not disclose the reason,i didnt want to hear the crap from elders blah blah.we had our first child after 5years.

Thank-you.
No, you don't have to explain yourself to everyone if you don't want too.
It is rude of them to assume something without knowing for sure.

I once asked a lady how long she was pregnant. I thought it was at least 7 months.
She was not pregnant. Oh I was so embarrassed!
This has tough me to be more aware of my own business.
I meant well, but still it is none of my business.
Luckily she was not angry, she could laugh about it.

I also asked a lady not too long ago if she had children.
I wish I had not. First she said no. Then she almost started to cry and said she did not know exactly. I seemed to have hit a nerve there. It was so sad. I was afraid to talk further. These are very personal issues.
What is normal for some is not normal for others.
Me for one, am going to be more careful with my questions.

But, in your case, I would guess the people mean well.

Take care, have a nice day.

Hey missy! I know what you mean! People just assume I'm am
mom and a grandma sometimes too! I just get tired saying that
I'm not either so I also just say thanks and the same to you!
I am a cat mama and depending who says it to me they would
already know that! But, I know exactly how you feel on Mothers
Day! And Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there from me
too!

I'm jealous!

No one ever wishes me a happy Mother's Day...

So what if I am not a Mother?

I've been called a Mother (expletive deleted) all my life...doesn't that count?

Well Missybear, I am sure the mom to someone, or something? Do you have pets? your their owner which makes you their mom. Do you have any friends kids or a good friend that always comes to you when they need a confidant, why can't that make you a mom.

A mom isn't always someone who has had children, A mom is someone who cares about you, helps you when your down, someone who you can call on when you really need someone there for you like a bestest friend.

I don't think your wrong to say thank you I am sure you have done your share of helping others, offering assistance to people.

My vote goes for nothing wrong with it..
