[quote=Anonymous]Ladies-it’s like with a little wink that you say HMD to the dog moms. It means “I’m sorry about your inability to stay in a relationship/fertility issues/whatever is the obvious thing going on that led to them having no family. We all love you anyway and hope Mother’s Day does not make you feel like shit.” That’s it! They are not co-opting it. It’s like a sympathy thing. I personally hate awkwardness and sympathy so I would never put myself out there as a dog mom on Mother’s Day, but that’s also easy for me to say because I have two kids, my mom is still living, and generally the day is always pleasant for me. The ones who raise it themselves are usually the most fragile and wanted a family the most. Just let them do it. It’s sad and just do tour part to be kind. [/quote]
