May 14, 200620 yr Yeah, because my mom's spent the past 3 days bitching about what a capitalist marketing scheme it is that we must all ignore in order to ensure our continued freedoms. :uhoh: Seriously. She got MAD AT ME when I asked her what she wanted. LMFAO! Hahah, cool mom you got! ;)
May 14, 200620 yr awwwwww happy mother's day to you!!! here's mother's day too.. Thank you very much. I have to disagree with the whole capitalist money-making holiday thing. Maybe I'd say that about Valentine's Day or something but not mother's day. There's no job in the world that's harder and more under appreciated than being a mother. I never knew until I had my own kids. Mothers deserve more than 1 day a year to be recognized.
May 14, 200620 yr That might be because you're not a "kid" any more!!:P Perhaps you meant "Sons' & Daughters' Day"??:cool: shhh don't give ideas to the capitalist marketing LOL

Exactly - which is why a single, commemorative day is totally unnecessary and a cop-out!!:cool:
May 14, 200620 yr Exactly - which is why a single' date=' commemorative day is totally unnecessary and a cop-out!!:cool:[/quote'] Oh no. I totally disagree. I'm definitely enjoying my day. It's the only day a year that I get to completely relax and do my own thing. Every other day is dedicated to my husband and kids...even my birthday cause it's on a national holiday.
May 14, 200620 yr Yeah I've noticed.....and gave my mum some flowers.... But somehow......I think mother's day should be the whole year...I mean the appreciation for your mother...and to help your mother... maybe just nine months :P but really there's no way to repay one's own mother basically.
May 14, 200620 yr Oh no. I totally disagree. I'm definitely enjoying my day. It's the only day a year that I get to completely relax and do my own thing. Every other day is dedicated to my husband and kids...even my birthday cause it's on a national holiday. Well IMO it shouldn't be needed. People should be able to think for themselves and do things spontaneously. That goes for everything except a birthday, which is the one special day for each person that wasn't "invented"........................................:cool:

How many kids do you know give their mothers the credit they deserve? None, that I know of. Husbands either. Most American husbands think that there's really nothing to being a mother. I know it's the one day out of the year that my husband cooks! Mother's Day makes us mothers feel that the work we do is important.

May 14, 200620 yr Well more fool you for accepting that!!;) That kind of behaviour is unacceptable and outdated!!:cool: I'm a southern girl and I love taking care of my family. No feminist bitches in this house.
May 14, 200620 yr Well I noticed since I am a mom. I was awakened with a lovely card and breakfast in bed this morning.Aw...very sweet. :nice: Happy Mom's Day to you!
May 14, 200620 yr I'm a southern girl and I love taking care of my family. No feminist bitches in this house. Feminism doesn't come into it - it's to do with respect!!:cool:
May 14, 200620 yr i noticed it!! i just didnt say anything coz i didnt know if it was an international day or not... i just came back from my grandmas house :nice:
May 14, 200620 yr Feminism doesn't come into it - it's to do with respect!!:cool: Which I get plenty of from other adults in my life. My kids are babies and therefore don't fully understand respect.
May 14, 200620 yr i miss the days when we were back in elementary where the teacher would set up these activities to make little gifts and crafts like picture frames for mother's day. they might not have been the most flattering but they were pretty sweet haha :cool: now, i never know what to get her that could be "special"... plus it doesnt help when mothers say... oh, i dont need gifts, just behave well, do good in school, etc etc
May 14, 200620 yr Which I get plenty of from other adults in my life. My kids are babies and therefore don't fully understand respect. Maybe, but your husband?:thinking:
May 15, 200620 yr Maybe' date=' but your husband?:thinking:[/quote'] He respects me immensely. He just doesn't cook. I don't see how that qualifies for him not respecting me? Um plus, he's a man...and we all know that women are far superior to men. (I'm kidding.)
May 15, 200620 yr He respects me immensely. He just doesn't cook. I don't see how that qualifies for him not respecting me? Um plus, he's a man...and we all know that women are far superior to men. (I'm kidding.) As long as you're happy, then it's fine!:cool:
