Radio host and podcaster Amy Gerard calls out family over disappointing Mother's Day
An Australian podcaster and radio host has publicly exposed her family for their disappointing efforts on Mother's Day with a social media tirade. KIIS FM host Amy Gerard went into detail about her lacklustre celebration after posting a cryptic message on her Instagram Story on Sunday, which read: 'Nothing quite like Mother's Day to really highlight how under appreciated and undervalued you are. 1 day and not a single person in my family could make it special. I'm flying to Paris next year.' The media personality, who shares three children – Charli, Bobby and Kobe – with husband Rhian, then shared a series of videos which explained how it had all gone so wrong this year. 'You know, I feel like I am very low maintenance,' she told her 150,000-plus followers. 'I really don't ask for much. I don't expect gifts … I don't expect much on Mother's Day. 'But here's what I do expect: if you can't lighten my load and do the washing for me and help me relax for the day, then at least be nice to me. Just be nice to me.' Gerard added that she partly blamed herself for thinking her family may surprise her with 'a cup of tea or breakfast in bed', and had thought she may have a day off from her regular chores. '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,' she said, adding two of her kids had behaved like 'demonic children'. 'They were just taking it in turns to go me.' In the end, she told her followers, she just said 'f**k this' and walked out of the house for some alone time. '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,' Gerard declared. She later shared another update, pointing out that the 'saddest part' was that she'd had thousands of replies from other mums who had been left feeling the same way that she had. '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,' Gerard told them. '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.'

Radio presenter slams her family for disappointing Mother's Day
Australian radio presenter Amy Gerard has hit out at her husband and children following a disappointing Mother's Day which she said 'highlighted how underappreciated and undervalued' she is. While Mother's Day in Ireland took place on March 30, it was Sunday (May 11) where people in Australia and the United States celebrated their mums. The day is the chance for people to pay tribute to the women in their life, which can be done with lavish gifts or simple acts of kindness like doing all the chores around the house or spending the day together.

Pic: Amy Gerard/ Instagram Amy added that 'at the end of the day, washing still needs to be done, kids still need to be fed.' 'Maybe it was my fault because maybe I have a very small expectation of just, I don't know, maybe a cup of tea in bed, breakfast in bed,' she explained. 'I didn't see myself just doing constant loads of washing, raking the lawn, putting out spot fires, breaking up fights…. I mean, let's be honest, it's all stuff I deal with most days but I was hoping on Mother's Day… it's my own fault for thinking it would be different.' By afternoon time, Amy said her youngest children Bobby and Kobe were 'like demonic children.' 'They were just taking it in turns to go at me and then I think at like 3.30pm I was like, 'Fuck this,' and I just got my keys and I left and I went and sat down.' She said she contemplated what she would do for Mother's Day next year. Amy went on to note that she got as many as 2,000 replies from fellow mothers resonating with her expereince. 'It's one f*****g day,' she hit out, 'We do so much and it absolutely gets taken for granted.'

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

'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
