[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I have to admit this annoys me too. Unlike the PP who thinks moms feel superior 364 days of the year, I think moms generally get sh*t on 364 days of the year. We get so many mixed messages that it's hard to listen to our inner voice or what our own families taught us. It's not always so easy to tune all that out when it is everywhere.

A few years ago on Mother's Day I was in the thick of the newborn stage and exhausted. Someone I know from high school (who was always a little strange) posted not once, but twice that day referring to herself as a mother. She rescues dogs. One post was something like "Oh that aggressive pat down at the airport was quite the Mother's Day present!" Like she truly thinks she deserves to be celebrated on Mother's Day because she has a couple of dogs. It really irritated me to see that while healing from major surgery, not sleeping, and dealing with a newborn and a 3 year old. It clearly still annoys me because I still remember it! It is weird that some people can't handle a day that isn't about them.[/quote]
