Australian influencer and radio star Amy Gerard has taken to social media to share her disappointing Mother’s Day experience.

Posting to her stories on Sunday, the mother-of-three slammed her own family on what was supposed to be a special day for all mums. 

The KIIS FM host included a photo of a serene river view at dusk and detailed her heartbreak in the caption.

‘Nothing quite like Mother’s Day to really highlight how under appreciated and under valued you are,’ Amy wrote.

‘One day and not a single person in my family could make it special. I’m flying to Paris next year.’

The following day, the Beyond the Likes podcaster added a series of videos to her stories that explained what led to her sad post.

Amy admitted she was glad Mother’s Day was over after being ‘put out’ by her family.

‘You know I feel like I am very low maintenance,’ she said.

‘I really don’t ask for much. I don’t expect gifts.’

Amy said she ended up doing regular household chores while dealing with her children who became quarrelsome during the day.

‘I don’t know… maybe it was my fault because maybe I had a very small expectation of maybe a cup of tea or breakfast in bed,’ she continued.

‘I didn’t see myself doing constant loads of washing, raking the lawn [and] putting out spot fires [and] breaking up fights [and] coping snappy dog shots.

‘I mean let’s be honest, it’s all stuff I deal with most days, but it was my fault for thinking it would be different on Mother’s Day.

‘And so I basically just got on with my day and I was just whatever.’

Amy said that after two of her children ‘took turns’ at having a go at her, she said ‘f*** this’ and left the house.  

Sitting by a river Amy started to plan for Mother’s Day next year.

‘You know I work with all these brands that talk about sending mum off for the day and giving mum some ”freedom” and that’s what I’m doing next year.’

Amy, who shares three young children, Charli, Bobby and Kobe, with husband Rhian, added she was flooded with sympathetic messages from followers after sharing her Mother’s Day post.

‘I think the saddest thing is I must have got 2000 replies to the story from other mums just saying they feel like a piece of s*** [on Mother’s Day],’ she said.

‘It’s one f***ing day guys, its one f***ing day.

‘And I’m so sorry to any other mums who didn’t feel appreciated and loved and didn’t get treated like the bloody queens that you are, because we do so much and it absolutely gets taken for granted.

‘And if you have a wonderful partner and wonderful kids who made you feel special then that makes me happy because that’s what you deserve

‘That’s what all the mums deserve.’
