[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I think it's weird to insist that all women in the family get something for Mother's Day, even if they're not mothers. I also think it's weird that the husband of one of my child-free friends goes all out with gifts to his wife from their "dog-baby" on Mother's Day. Some women are moms, some aren't - and that's just fine. We don't feel the need to send flowers to every random adult man on Father's Day, do we? So I'd probably roll my eyes a bit over a well-meaning relative who replicated mother's day presents for all the women in the family. But I wouldn't be hurt or offended.

Fwiw we rarely do anything in my house for mother's day, so it's not like I think it should be a big deal for anyone other than those who might need it (my husband for the first time ever sent flowers to his own mother, who may not live to see another Mother's Day, and I thought that was right. I got nothing but texts from my college kid, and I also am just fine with that.)[/quote]

I have kids but I LOVE the idea that some childless couple celebrates being a "dog mom". I can't imagine what the gifts are like but it's just so sweet and I'm happy to know someone is going all out for this. I don't feel the need to gatekeep this holiday.[/quote]
