It’s a holiday for kids to celebrate their moms/grandmothers. Period.

Maybe my kids have made me a sap, but I love getting the texts. Can’t women support other women?

I support women by serving as a mentor at work, giving mothers who have been out of the workforce extra review and consideration when I serve on search committees, raising money for the House of Ruth, saying “yes” to favors when asked by other mothers, using Buy Nothing to directly donate really good-quality clothing rather than selling consignment, and fighting for reproductive rights.

I don’t need to send generic texts to support women. That’s not supporting women, that’s pretending you do.

Calm down. Nobody is saying you need to. People are complaining about receiving well wishes.

They’re not well wishes, they are bids for attention, and we all know the difference.

Oh, honey.

You must be fun at parties if you think dropping a "thinking of you, HMD!" text is attention seeking behavior.

Pay attention. It's about randos who insist on sending "well wishes" at 6 am on Sunday morning

If you read the post I was responding to, you would have heard the poster saying she mentors women and will not be expected to text them HMD. Reading is fundamental.

An aside, can we please stop trying to make “HMD” happen?

It is. It is completely meaningless, literally phoned in, and so generic that the people who send these types of messages are sending them to half their address book. There is no real sentiment behind it, it is simply “I need interaction so write me back and tell me what an amazing person I am for ‘thinking of you.’”

Pleas don’t rethink this. The people complaining about getting nice messages from others are just miserable martyrs. Some people define themselves by being unhappy. Don’t them let drag you down.
