Mother's day and slightly disappointed

My partner gave me flowers for mom dad and had my son who lives with us give them to me. Cute. But then throughout the rest of the day, he had nothing planned. My son wanted to go hiking so we headed to do that but hadn't had lunch yet. I asked where we are going to eat... he said whatever. Everything is still closed so I get we can go out somewhere fancy and sit down. I suggested maybe we go to grocery store and get food for a picnic. He didn't want to do that we just went to Wendy's. 

Then when we were eating before the hike he asked showed me a text where he asked his ex if he could talk to his kids on the phone tonight at 6:30. She responded that he needs to only message her on a group chat with her husband. He showed me and was very mad that she would say that. I told him that it's fine it probably makes her husband more comfortable. He got mad and started to argue with me when my son started crying and said "can't we just have a normal mother's day? It broke my heart. Needless to say I was sad the rest of the day. It's mother's day so I don't understand why he needed to talk to the skids at dinner time that day. They can talk any other night. 

We went home. Did nothing. I went out and bought and made myself mother's day dinner and me and my son ate alone while he was downstairs on the phone call. I guess I shouldn't care but still hurts a bit.

This is a whole ball of dysfunction. I felt sad reading this blog. If this is the standard course for your relationship, have you discussed this with your SO?
