So my parents are divorced so I have a stepmom, real mom, and real dad. And I went over to my real mom's house (along with siblings of course) and celebrated with her but i forgot to do something... WISH MY STEPMOM HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! Now she's really mad and hurt and I feel SUUUUUPPPEEERRR guilty because she does so much for me and everyone in our family! What can I do to make it up to her?!?!

Well that is thoughtful of you to think of her, but technically she isn't your mother and she has no right to be mad. I can understand however how she might be sad. After reading your post it made me curious if there wasn't a specific date designated for step mothers, and there is. I copied a paragraph and pasted it below. I would print out what I pasted below, or look it up online and talk to your siblings about doing something. I would then sit your step-mom down and talk to her and tell her something like, ".....Mary? I know your feelings were hurt because we didn't acknowledge you on mothers day, because we were with our mother. We/I wanted to let you know we didn't forget about you and didn't know if you were aware but the Sunday after mothers day is Step Mothers Day (show her the print out) and we would like to ............(tell her what you want to do, make her breakfast, lunch....)" and then buy her some flowers or make her something." Also tell her that you would officially like to designate the 3rd Sunday in May StepMothers Day in your house from now on.

One day she works late, or if she doesn't work, have your dad take her out shopping for an evening, and make her a special dinner, and a card, and when she walks in say 'HAPPY MOTHERS DAY' or 'HAPPY STEP-MOTHERS DAY!' if she has a sense of humor. Tell her you didn't want her to suspect anything so you did this instead, or tell her you are sorry or some thing like that, hope this helps

your step mother should not have let you know she was mad. its sad when people take things for granted and expect to be "honored" on what they perceive as their special day. i'm just so happy that my son calls me on mothers day and if he forgets, he remembers later and i feel just as special. so mothers day doesnt HAVE to be on mothers day...it can be any day and it should come from the heart and not because you are supposed to celebrate it.

Take her out for lunch or dinner with a belated mothers day card, if you can still get those, if they even make them. Well, atleast take her out for lunch or dinner anyway.

Just tell her you love her and say you are sorry, and that so much was happening when you were at your mothers house, if she doesnt accpept that then that is really imature
