Mother's day
I've noticed over the years that Mother's Day has become this All-Encompassing-Anyone-For-Any-Reason-Day.
When l was a kid, l bought my mom a Mother's Day gift. It was 1976. I was all proud l had bought it with my own money. My paternal grandmother asked me where hers was? I said you aren't my mom( thank God- cuz she was a twisted harridan). She said Mother's day is for all mothers. I said l didn't think l needed to buy every woman who ever squeezed out a person a gift. She then proceeded to pitch a fit and my mom ask me privately to give the gift l bought her to my grandma. I didn't want to and was pissed. However, my mom was "peace at any price", so l gave in. Perhaps that's why l feel Mother's day has gotten out of hand. 🤔 l only expect my son to acknowledge Mother's day. But whatever totes your goat.
