Mothers Day, just like Valentines Day, is a made up holiday designed to enrich corporate fat cats.

Maybe so!! But Mother`s still deserve our respect and to be treated with dignity!
So where do you fall in this "respect and dignity" thing?

 

[Sgt. York]

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.[5]

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.[8]

I'm sure Hallmark loves you.

I am sure there is nothing wrong with giving mom a card every so often that says you appreciate her!I am also sure you know nothing about what you call the commercvialization of Mother`s day!
Mother`s day was not founded my businiesses for gain or profit! But you probably did not know that so I forgive your
ignorance on the subject!
Had you read what I pulled from Wikipedia concerning Mother`s day!!
But alas it has become commercialized -- which is still no reason not to observe Mother`s day!

I would give anything to have my Mom here with me. It's been 17 years now and I miss her every day. I wanted to visit her grave today..its only a 10 minute walk from me..but as usual I can't handle it.
