I treated my mother with respect and dignity every day of the year, not just on a corporate conceived holiday.
Most people treat their Mother`s with respect and dignity everyday of the year!
Nice try claiming it was corporately conceived!!
Mother's Day is a celebration honoring the
mother of the family, as well as
motherhood,
maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as
Father's Day,
Siblings Day, and
Grandparents Day.
The modern Mother's day began in the
United States, at the initiative of
Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. This is not (directly) related to the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to
Cybele, the Roman festival of
Hilaria, or the Christian
Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a commemoration of Mother Church, not motherhood).
[1][2][3][4] However, in some countries, Mother's Day is still synonymous with these older traditions.

The U.S.-derived modern version of Mother's Day has been criticized
[6][7] for having become too commercialized. Founder Jarvis herself regretted this
commercialism and expressed views on how that was never her intention.
