Maybe this is their way of trying to tell you that she is your birth mother... This used to happen a lot back before teen pregnancy was accepted, older siblings who were capable of raising a child, and married, often became the parents so that the communities wouldn't stare and talk about them, while the child was later told that the birth mother was their sister or aunt.

I'm sure that if the aunt was actually OP's mother, chances are they would know by now. Look, I know not everyone has a mother. There are mother figures and its fine to celebrate them for taking up the role but in this case, its ridiculous.

I deal with infertility issues and my sister in law got me a Mother's Day present because she knows how difficult the holiday is for me. I feel like there's probably some back story to this if OP's mom felt strongly enough about this to ground OP.

How old are you and what reasoning did your parents give you for grounding you for not giving someone who ISN'T a mother a Mother's Day gift? Did she have a kid and lose one? Miscarry?

Unless she helped take care and raise you, you don't need to send her anything.

Why didn't you get me anything for mother's day? I'm a female person who didn't give birth to you too!! Where's my gift? It's called mother's day! That's the day you give everyone in the world presents!!

I get the no kids thing but what does not being married have to do with it?
