Before I got married and had kids I thought it was a dumb Hallmark holiday.
Now I think it’s really significant and important to have an official day dedicated to recognize all the moms out there.
Happy mother’s day to all the moms out there. And all the guys that made them moms :)
Apparently, according to wikipedia, we have a “mother’s day” in the first sunday in may. I’ve seen nothing in the news about it and wasn’t aware of its existence.
8 March was an entirely different animal…
March 8 is international women’s day. The most ignored of all holidays by US culture. To an almost hilarious degree.
My partner frequently brags that she’s the only of her friends and coworkers, in 10+ years, who has ever gotten flowers for women’s day. Meanwhile even Uber drivers have wished her a happy women’s day in various heavy foreign accents.
November 19 is international men’s day. How many times have you gotten flowers on that day? Or Uber drivers wishing you a happy men’s day?
// My partner frequently brags
March 8th is for the partners, mother’s day is for the wives :)
Just kidding but couldn’t resist.
Respect. It’s a good day to remember the impact they had even if they are no longer around to pick up the phone. Btw calling her now.
I have just come to HN from I was actually helping my mother in pressing legs as her legs sometimes hurt from pain :-(
Gonna go help my mom again in massaging her legs, Okay shes asking me to help now, bye!
She can hate the things you do and still love who you are. Shining your light where it’s cold and dark is the only way to make the darkness go away. Hope this helps
Give her a call regardless. Perhaps that’s the first step to letting it sink in for her that you actually care about her.
I contemplating writing a reply suggesting maybe a text or email instead, but I don’t know enough about OP’s situation so I don’t think it’s appropriate to give any advice.
this is all a big conspiracy by big greeting card to sell more short-lived shit at inflated prices, on an fabricated urgent schedule, to faintly desperate offspring trying to make amends for a shocking childhood and lacklustre adult life
You can make your own cards, and calling doesn’t require you to buy any cards. I imagine receiving a call is more enjoyable than receiving a card.
