Mother's Day drawing?

Mothers day, Fathers Day, Valentines Day, etc etc, why all the HYPE and what does it really mean??

  • Mothers day is approaching and many many people will be out and about celebrating this day with their Moms, Grandmoms, sisters, wives, etc. Mothers Day; its the one day I choose to do absolutely nothing; I am a Mom 364 days a year biologically that is, but on that one day, I choose not to celebrate being a Mom, but just being me. Motherhood is forever, so claiming that one day on my terms "Mom-free" feels great, so all the hoopla takes a back seat. No dinners at crowded restaurants, no flowers, gifts, etc. Just leave me be. Fathers Day: Same applies here! My husband thinks its meaningless, so just saying "happy fathers day is enough for him", works for me. Valentines Day; Same rules apply; no flowers, candy,cards, etc., We call each other on the phone or text, or email "Happy Valentines day" and enough said!! To each his own, but why all the hype?? Treat me and others special everyday, not just one day!

  • Answer:

    You are absolutely correct. It's just a way for the card , candy and flower people to make money. Everyone should be treated good every day!

It's just a day where all of your appreciation for your loved one come's out, wheter it's your mother, father, grandmother, etc. To show your love for that person and show and tell them you appreciate everything that they have ever taught you, showed you, and has done for you.

I'll be spending the day with my mother on Mother's Day, as well as my father on Father's Day. We don't make it a big event, just a day that we spend together because I'm really grateful for my parents. Life is short, no one is guaranteed tomorrow....why NOT make a day to honor the special people in our lives????

People are different..Some like to celebrate it and some just don't. Does it matter? You don't have to upset everyone else...

Oh my goodness the 'Bah Humbug' has bitten you hasn't it? I have wonderfull memories of little hands, hand made presents, a specially chosen gift from the school Mother's Day stalls. I still have one bought for $2.00 when my daughter was 6 years old, I can still see her beaming face. These days are what we make it for our loved one's and ourself. I would not deny my children the pleasure of celebrating this day with me. There are no big presents as being in their presence is enough for me. And these days are part of their memory banks for when I'm not around any more. My Mum is still alive and she loves having her family recognise how lucky we are to have her as head of the family still. Each to their own I guess, my Dad died 35 years ago and I contact my Mum on Father's Day and she finds this quite funny. As I tell her, "if Dad was alive I would be ringing him" so I ring you. I live inter-state from my Mum.

It's just recognizing people for their contributions to life and family. Enjoy.
