[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The senior mothers have rank. All come to them with gifts and flowers in hand.[/quote]

The senior mothers are called grandmothers. They have Grandparents Day. Stop trying to get attention on the day the attention should go to young mothers. [/quote]

When and where did it become young Mother’s Day? [/quote]

Look up the definition of mothering. Mothering is the process of caring for children as their mother. This is what is done when the children are young. Once your children are adults, you're no longer mothering. [/quote]

This is not Mothering Day, it is Mother's Day. .

However, I see you and I hear you.  How about we make it into [b]Breast-Feeding Mother's Day[/b].  Only celebrate moms who are breastfeeding their kids?  Active mothering and active nursing?

Otherwise, include your Nanny and Daycare workers in the Mothering Day!! Because y'all are not taking care of your brats - someone else is.

Effing lunatic!! [/quote]

Mother is the one who is mothering :) End of story. The same as runner is the one who is running, cook is the one who is cooking etc. If you cooked 50 years ago, doesn't mean you're still a cook! [/quote]

Nope. You do not get to distort the universal truth because your life experiences has been not optimum and you are a toxic person.  Maybe it works with your dumb family.

If it is the women who are providing care then  all the childcare providers should also be celebrated.  Because they are certainly doing more mothering that most mothers.  And they are following at least some standard of care.

Happy Mother's Day to all the nannies, childcare providers, family members who are mothering, and mothers who are breastfeeding.  All the adoptive moms, stepmoms, foster moms, got kid from rent-a-womb mom, give kids formula moms - should also be celebrated if there is some level of care providing.[/quote]
