AIO my partner doesn’t believe he should wish me happy Mother’s Day because he isn’t my child’s bio dad

After opinions on what the title states really, I myself had a step dad who always went above and beyond for my mum and my siblings and I.

He had no hesitation taking on a fatherly role, but my current partner has no desire to be a “stepdad” so never wishes me a happy Mother’s Day, or gets me anything (I don’t expect a present but he sees what I go through every day with a special needs child so a happy Mother’s Day would be nice)

Am i being unreasonable by being a bit upset at his complete lack of acknowledging the day?

I know it’s easy to say I would celebrate my partners Father’s Day if he had a child, so I would expect it back but I can also be a bit self-righteous at the best of times

EDIT:

I should probably add, leaving has been something I’m trying to get to for a while, I am just a highly anxious person who hates confrontation and making decisions so I need to know I’m not crazy first.

You have all helped immensely
